Role Description
Stride is hiring a Content Lead to raise the bar on everything it publishes, across every client and channel. The positioning method, SEO team, AI production workflows, and client relationships are already in place. You run them and set the standard, so Stride can take on more clients without every draft crossing the Director's desk.
You'll report directly to the Director of Stride and direct the SEO team and designer. The seat grows into Head of Content as the client base grows.
Tasks
-
This is a writing seat and a management seat at once. You write and edit every week, and you decide what is good enough to publish.
What you'll do
-
Run the executive LinkedIn programme end to end within your first quarter: interviews, drafts, edits, approvals, and publishing for the whole executive cohort and the company page.
-
Own the weekly content pipeline for every retainer client, from brief to published, with the Director reviewing by exception rather than every piece.
-
Brief and quality-check the SEO team and designer every week, with feedback that makes the next batch better.
-
Write a short editorial guide for each client (voice, words to use and avoid, examples of good) so quality holds whoever drafts.
-
Keep the AI writing workflows and prompt libraries current, so drafts come out closer to finished.
-
Move new clients into content within two weeks of their positioning sprint, with an onboarding that is documented and repeatable.
Qualifications
-
At least five years writing and editing B2B content. A portfolio with range: long-form articles, landing pages, social posts, newsletters, and case studies is required.
-
Experience writing LinkedIn content on behalf of founders, executives, or investors.
-
Ability to take an average draft, human or AI, and make it clear, specific, and worth reading quickly.
-
Experience managing at least one person directly, or several suppliers such as freelancers, an SEO agency, or designers.
-
Daily use of AI writing tools and ability to demonstrate their effectiveness.
-
Working knowledge of SEO (search intent, briefs, on-page structure).
-
Native or near-native written English, based in a European time zone.
-
Experience growing a content number in an in-house B2B role: traffic, rankings, audience, or pipeline.
Requirements
-
Agency experience is highly valued, alongside the in-house track record.
-
Background in content for SaaS, private equity, venture capital, or professional services.
-
Familiarity with private equity and venture language: value creation, operating partners, portfolio companies, post-acquisition plans.
-
Danish as a second language (Swedish or German also useful) to review translated content.
-
Experience optimizing content for AI search (being cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews).
-
A good eye for design and layout, enough to brief and judge graphics.
-
Journalism or editorial background.
-
Comfortable with project tools such as Wrike and Google Workspace.
Benefits
-
A content function to shape, inside an agency that already has the strategy, tooling, and clients in place, with a path to Head of Content.
-
Fully remote within European time zones, with an optional quarterly team meetup in Europe.
-
Very different B2B companies in the same week, writing for investors and operators who read a lot.
-
The backing of Bifrost Studios: sister companies covering outbound, brand, and recruitment, and a network of eight other venture studios bringing in companies.
Process
-
Intro call with the recruiter
-
First interview with the Director
-
Writing and editing case, plus psychometrics
