[Hiring] Content Specialist @Richardson Sales Performance

Role Description

The Content Specialist is an execution-focused member of the Content Team, responsible for producing the articles, newsletters, and repurposed assets that carry Richardson’s and Challenger’s ideas to sales, revenue, and enablement leaders. This role reports to the Director of Content Strategy & Thought Leadership and is designed to grow into ownership of recurring content production.

This is a foundational writing role for someone early in their content marketing career who is coachable, curious, and eager to build ownership over published work. The person in this role will support content production across both brands, with initial depth in:

• Challenger-focused articles and other assets to support our growth goals, product launches, and thought leadership strategy.
• Newsletter content.
• Repurposing published work into short-form assets across channels.
• Coverage will expand over time into additional content formats, video, campaign support, and new channels.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree; a major in journalism, English, communications, or a related field preferred.
• Zero to two years of professional writing experience — internships, student publications, and freelance work all count.
• Three to five writing samples, which need not be B2B or marketing.
• Strong writing and editing skills, and clear, plain-spoken prose written for people rather than for search engines.
• Interviewing experience, and the confidence to lead a conversation with a senior expert.
• Practical fluency with AI writing and research tools, and a considered point of view on their limits.
• Highly organized and reliable with deadlines, and quick to flag when a date is at risk.
• Comfortable being edited, and curious about why an edit was made.
• Demonstrated coachability and an ownership mindset — takes direction well, asks good questions, and takes pride in seeing work through.

Requirements

• Draft articles, downloads, and other content from supplied briefs, working in our established brand voice.
• Turn briefs into first-pass outlines before drafting, and revise through editorial review.
• Draft campaign email copy to agreed send dates.
• Work with our digital team to optimize written content for readers and search, adding calls to action, related content, interesting graphics and videos wherever appropriate.
• Grow toward running your own interviews with internal subject matter and product experts — preparing the questions, leading the conversation, and following the thread when something interesting surfaces.
• Turn each interview into finished content, and pull the quotes worth reusing elsewhere.
• Gather source material, verify every statistic, and maintain a source list an editor can check.
• Launch and own a recurring newsletter built to grow brand affinity with an earlier career Challenger audience.
• Own the property end to end: assemble the lineup, write the framing and item copy, and hold a consistent point of view from issue to issue.
• Repurpose published articles into shorter formats, including social copy support, email teasers, and pull-quotes.
• Coordinate with our Digital, Demand Generation, and Product Marketing colleagues so each asset is promoted properly across channels.
• Maintain the content calendar, keeping every asset’s status current and visible to the team.
• File finished assets to convention so the team can find current, approved work.
• Use our approved AI tools across your workflow — research, outlining, first-pass editing, and repurposing — to move faster without sacrificing quality.

Benefits

• Opportunity for growth into ownership of recurring content production.
• Work in a collaborative environment with a focus on professional development.
• Remote work flexibility.
