Content Marketing Lead (Founding) - AUS/US/CAN/NZ

Traild, Raleigh, NC, United States


Traild: Who are we? Traild is a high‑growth SaaS company transforming how finance teams manage Accounts Payable, automating and protecting the entire process from invoice capture through approval and payment. The company seeks to solve billions of dollars in payment errors and fraud without slowing businesses down.

The Role: Build Traild’s Global Content Engine This is not a “manage the content calendar” role. You will build and own Traild’s global content engine from scratch—defining how we show up in market, generate demand, educate buyers, and support revenue. You’ll operate at the intersection of strategy and execution, creativity, and AI scale.

Key Responsibilities

Build the content engine

Define and execute a content strategy that drives pipeline (content pillars, audience segmentation, distribution strategies)

Identify high‑leverage bets across SEO, AI search (AEO), social, and campaigns

Create a system where great ideas scale to measurable impact

Create compelling content

Write and produce high‑quality, high‑conviction content (POVs, product narratives, customer stories, sales enablement)

Turn complex financial workflows into clear, compelling, differentiated stories

Set the quality bar for content and what “great” looks like at Traild (and create systems to enforce brand voice and editorial standards)

Scale with AI (without losing quality)

Build an AI‑powered content engine where you create the exceptional content and AI scales it across channels, formats, and markets

Experiment aggressively with AI tools and workflows while maintaining quality and brand voice

Drive demand, pipeline and revenue

Own content’s contribution to MQLs, pipeline, and deal acceleration

Develop campaigns that convert and support GTM efforts

Partner with product, sales, and customer teams to create content that wins deals

Build a challenger brand

Define Traild’s voice in the market

Create content that stands out in a sea of generic SaaS/ERP messaging

Develop bold, opinionated, insight‑driven narratives and campaigns

Push creative boundaries

Scale the function

Build processes, systems, and tooling to scale output

Leverage freelancers, agencies, cutting‑edge tools and build out a team

Who You Are

You are a builder—created something from scratch (content, brand, side project, business) and want to scale it further.

You are a strong writer and storyteller with high standards for quality.

You’re AI‑curious or AI‑native—excited about using AI to scale output but understand that quality starts with human insight.

You think in pipeline and impact, not just content output.

You’re hands‑on and fast—write, ship, test, and iterate constantly.

You’re comfortable with ambiguity and ownership.

You have strong opinions, are creative, and willing to challenge conventional SaaS marketing.

You’re likely in a role today where you feel under‑leveraged and want to step up and own something meaningful.

Experience in SaaS/fintech is helpful, but not essential. Drive, curiosity, and ownership matter more.

Strong collaborator with an attitude embracing growth, hands‑on execution, adaptability, and the scale‑up spirit.

Benefits

Flexibility: range of remote, hybrid, and flexible working options.

Global team: growing across APAC, NA, and EMEA with team worldwide.

Rocketship culture: exponential growth and engagement opportunities.

High workplace satisfaction: 82 on recent 2025 eNPS survey.
