Senior Content Marketing Manager, Storytelling

Retell AI · Redwood City, CA, USA ·

Pay:
$170,000-$240,000/yr
Job type:
Full Time

About Retell AI Retell AI is using first principles to reimagine the call center with cutting-edge voice AI.
Thousands of companies now utilize Retell's AI voice agents to handle sales, support, and logistics calls that once required large teams of human agents. Backed by Y Combinator, Alt Capital, and other leading investors, we have scaled to $80M ARR with a team of 50 people, up from $5M at the start of 2025.
Our vision for 2026 is to build a modern CX platform where entire contact centers are powered by AI. Instead of basic automation that needs constant human tuning, we're creating intelligent AI "workers" that can act as frontline agents, QA analysts, and managers, continuously executing, monitoring, and improving customer interactions.
We're growing quickly and looking for ambitious builders who want to tackle hard technical problems, move fast, and have real impact at one of the fastest-growing voice AI startups.
Let's build the future together.
About The Role Retell AI is the voice AI platform for enterprise contact centers. We work with customers like CVS/Aetna, American Airlines, Lenovo, and Grab, and we have more customer stories than we can tell.
We are hiring a Senior Content Marketing Manager to own how those stories get told. You will interview customers like a reporter, find the angle a marketer would miss, and produce case studies and strategic blogs that people actually read and sales actually sends.
This is a high-ownership craft role. You report to the CMO and work closely with the founding team.
Key Responsibilities Own customer storytelling end-to-end
Source the customer, build the relationship, run the interview, find the angle, write the piece, drive distribution

Produce written and video case studies with enterprise customers, managing production partners for the big shoots

Write strategic blogs
Own the flagship blog: industry POVs, benchmark narratives, category arguments

Translate technical product launches into stories for contact center leaders and enterprise buyers

Own the written layer of product launches
Partner with product marketing on launch narratives and announcements

Run content programs
Own the customer announcement cadence, company newsletter, and company social content around launches and industry moments

What We're Looking For Must have:
3-7 years in content marketing, editorial, or journalism, including B2B SaaS or tech experience

A portfolio of published work with range: customer stories, essays, launch content

Proven end-to-end ownership of case studies or customer stories

Comfortable with technical products

Reporter instincts and editorial craft

Nice to have:
Newsroom or tech media background

Video fluency: can brief an agency shoot and film a scrappy walkthrough yourself

Experience with support, CX, or post-sales audiences

Startup experience, Series A through C

How We Evaluate We care less about checkboxes and more about:
Whether your writing earns attention or fills a calendar

Whether customers would say yes to a second interview with you

Whether sales would actually send what you write

Whether you find the story everyone else missed

You Might Thrive If You have 3-7 years in content marketing, editorial, or journalism, including B2B SaaS or tech experience

You trained as a journalist, or write like one: fresh angles, strong ledes, zero corporate speak

You have owned customer stories end-to-end, not just polished someone else's interview notes

You can talk to an engineer about latency and a VP of CX about containment rates in the same afternoon

You ship weekly without anyone checking in
