Content Marketing Manager

ABOUT RETOOL

Nearly every company in the world runs on custom software: Gartner estimates that up to 50% of all code is written for internal use. This is the operational software for refunding orders, underwriting loans, onboarding employees, analyzing transactions, and providing customer support. But most companies don’t have adequate resources to properly invest in these tools, leading to a lot of old and clunky internal software or, even worse, users still stuck in manual and spreadsheet flows. 

At Retool, we’re on a mission to bring good software to everyone. We’re building a new type of development platform that combines the benefits of traditional software development with a drag-and-drop UI editor and AI, making it dramatically faster to build internal tools. We believe that the future of software development lies in abstracting away the tedious and repetitive tasks developers waste time on, while creating reusable components that act as a force multiplier for future developers and projects. The result is not just productivity, but good software by default. And that’s a mission worth striving for. 

Today, our customers span from small startups building their first operational tools to Fortune 500 companies building mission-critical apps for thousands of users across their business. Interested in joining us? Let us know! 

WHY WE'RE LOOKING FOR YOU

You won't just create content—you'll craft compelling narratives that spark developer imaginations, solve real business problems, and drive our exponential growth. You'll be a key player at the heart of our customer journey, ensuring our content finds and resonates with developers.

We're looking for a content marketer who thrives in fast-paced environments, is obsessed with metrics that move up and to the right, and wants to help build one of the most transformative developer products on the planet. Perhaps most importantly, we need someone who's genuinely passionate about AI as a force multiplier for content creation and distribution—someone who geeks out about the latest AI tools, stays obsessively up-to-date with emerging AI trends, and is excited to experiment with cutting-edge approaches that help our message break through the noise.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Ideate, write, and advise on content that speaks to our technical audience while making complex concepts accessible and exciting (and not like marketing)
  • Own critical parts of our content calendar and orchestrate production across cross-functional teams including Product Marketing, Developer Marketing, and Brand Design
  • Edit and refine copy with meticulous attention to detail
  • Partner with SEO specialists to ensure our content ranks well for high-value keywords on Google and appears in LLM search
  • Create standout thought leadership that sets our brand apart in the development space
  • Experiment with and implement AI tools that can 10x our content production while maintaining quality and authenticity
  • Stay ahead of AI trends, test new tools, and share discoveries that could transform how we create and distribute content
  • Create content with distribution in mind, tailoring formats and messaging to specific channels for maximum reach and engagement
  • Craft content designed to be easily shareable and amplifiable across developer communities and industry networks
  • Expertly transform core content into multiple formats (video scripts, social snippets, newsletter features, newsletter copy, event content) to maximize efficiency and reach
  • Understand the nuances of different platforms and create content that feels native to each, avoiding one-size-fits-all approaches

THE SKILLSET YOU'LL BRING

  • 5+ years of content marketing experience in tech, ideally in B2B software
  • Killer writing, editing, and storytelling skills that can translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling narratives
  • Experience creating content for developer audiences 
  • Track record crafting messaging around emerging technologies, especially AI tools
  • Strong SEO know-how and content distribution strategies
  • Experience with social media engagement and community-building
  • Data-driven approach with experience tracking and optimizing content performance
  • Familiarity with project management tools to keep complex workflows on track
  • Pulse on developer content trends and passion for creating content that cuts through the noise
  • Personal enthusiasm for AI tools, with hands-on experience using them for content creation
  • Self-starter mentality with a history of experimenting with new tech and finding creative applications
  • Sharp eye for evaluating AI tools and identifying which ones actually deliver value
  • Natural curiosity about how AI is transforming marketing, with a desire to be on the cutting edge
  • Experience creating content for integrated campaigns where each piece fits into a larger narrative

WHY JOIN US?

You'll play a pivotal role in building a product that's already transforming how thousands of companies create software. Your content will directly impact our growth trajectory as we continue our mission to make good software accessible to everyone.

In a world where content quality alone isn't enough, you'll be our reach maximizer—creating content that's designed from inception to travel far and wide. You'll craft material that's inherently shareable, repurposable, and tailored to thrive on the platforms where our audience lives.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
