[Hiring] Sr. AI Thought Leadership Writer @Vonage

Role Description

Join Vonage and help us innovate cloud communications for businesses worldwide!

The Content team is looking for a Senior Thought Leadership Writer to own the long-form voice that shapes how the world's most influential business leaders think about AI and its role in transforming enterprise communications. This person is part journalist, part researcher, part strategist — someone who can independently identify the ideas worth writing about, do the work to make those ideas defensible and original, and translate them into authoritative content that earns the attention of C-Suite audiences at global enterprises.

This is not a role for someone who executes on briefs. It's for someone who writes the brief — and then delivers content that changes the conversation.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the development of high-impact, long-form thought leadership content across multiple formats including white papers, research reports, executive bylines, contributed articles, deep-dive guides, and point-of-view essays.
• Independently conduct research to surface cutting-edge topics, emerging trends, and market shifts — synthesizing industry data, analyst reports, and primary sources into compelling, original narratives.
• Keep a pulse on competitor activity and market trends to identify content whitespace and ensure Vonage's thought leadership is genuinely differentiated.
• Develop and maintain a deep understanding of how AI is reshaping enterprise communications, customer experience, and business operations — and translate that understanding into content that resonates with senior decision-makers.
• Write for distinct enterprise audiences — with a particular focus on C-Suite readers including Chief Executive Officers, Chief Information Officers, Chief Digital Officers, and other executive stakeholders.
• Partner closely with subject matter experts to ensure content reflects Vonage's most current positioning and strategic narrative.
• Bring a journalist's instinct to every assignment — pursuing original angles, conducting interviews and background research, and building arguments grounded in evidence.
• Contribute to Vonage's overall content strategy by identifying new thought leadership opportunities and advocating for the ideas, formats, and publishing channels that will drive the greatest impact.

Qualifications

• 7-10+ years of professional writing experience, with a demonstrated track record of producing long-form thought leadership, editorial content, or investigative journalism at a high level.
• Deep, fluent knowledge of artificial intelligence — including generative AI, large language models, AI agents, and the strategic and organizational implications of AI adoption in the enterprise.
• Proven ability to conduct independent research, synthesize complex information, and develop original, defensible points of view without relying on prescribed briefs or talking points.
• Strong analytical instincts and experience performing competitor content analysis and monitoring market trends to inform editorial strategy.
• Experience writing for C-Suite audiences — an innate understanding of what earns executive attention and credibility.
• Experience working directly with or interviewing senior executives and subject matter experts.
• Exceptional editorial judgment: you know the difference between a story and a press release, between a genuine insight and a repackaged vendor claim.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, matrixed B2B technology environment with multiple stakeholders and evolving priorities.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating long-form writing on complex, high-stakes topics — preferably in enterprise technology, AI, or business strategy.

Requirements

• Familiarity with the CPaaS, cloud communications, or enterprise SaaS market.
• Bachelor's degree or higher; degree in Journalism, English, Communications, or a related field preferred.
• Additional preferred education backgrounds: Political Science or Public Policy (for analytical rigor and systems thinking), Computer Science or Information Technology (for deep technical fluency), Business Administration / MBA (for enterprise strategy credibility), or Cognitive Science / Philosophy (for AI ethics and reasoning depth).

Benefits

• Company Bonus or Commission Structure (depending on the role).
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage Options.
• 401(k) Savings Plan.
• Company-Paid Basic Life and AD&D Insurance.
• Short-Term Disability (STD).
• Long-Term Disability (LTD).
• Maternity/Parental Leave.
• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
• Health Savings Account (HSA).
• Employee Support Program (EAP).
