Content Marketing Manager

San Francisco, California

Workstream is a mission-driven company building the all-in-one HR, payroll, and hiring platform for managing the hourly workforce. There are 2.7 billion hourly workers, making up 80% of the global workforce, but this market has been heavily underserved by technology and deserves better. Workstream has been purpose-built for the hourly workforce from day one so that these businesses and their employees can thrive.

Our customers include leading brands from multiple sectors, including Burger King, Carl's Jr./Hardee's, IHOP, KFC, and Culvers. We are a high growth series B company and quickly expanding our product portfolio to deliver on our vision. We are backed by legendary VCs and industry experts like Founders Fund, BOND, and Coatue.

Grow With Us

We’re looking for a creative, social-first Content Marketing Manager to lead our video strategy across YouTube and Instagram. This person will be responsible for growing our audience of restaurant owners and operators by creating content that educates, entertains, and builds a loyal following.
You don’t need to be an editor (we have a team for that), but having an eye for edits, pacing, and trends is a plus. What matters most is a deep sense of what makes content go viral, what restaurant operators care about, and how to turn ideas into high-performing posts.

This role will also work directly with our Founder and CEO, ghostwriting scripts, shaping narratives, producing during filming sessions, and capturing customer case studies that bring our product impact to life.

We’re open to applicants nationwide — especially ambitious, early-career marketers eager to relocate to Silicon Valley and immerse themselves in a fast-paced startup environment.

Day in the Life

  • Own our YouTube Shorts and Instagram content strategy, from ideation to publishing.
  • Research, script, and storyboard short-form videos that resonate with restaurant owners and operators.
  • Ghostwrite scripts and prep content for our CEO Desmond Lim, working closely with him to bring ideas to life on camera.
  • Act as producer during filming — coordinating shoots, guiding delivery, and ensuring content quality.
  • Film case studies with customers, turning their experiences into powerful storytelling content.
  • Monitor industry trends, social conversations, and competitor content to spot opportunities for growth.
  • Lead and coordinate designers, editors, and leadership to bring stories to life.
  • Analyze content performance, iterate on what works, and double down on proven formats.
  • Experiment with hooks, captions, and thumbnails to maximize reach and retention.
  • Build a playbook of repeatable content formats that can scale into a full content engine.

Who You Are

  • Experience in social media or content marketing, ideally with YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or TikTok.
  • A strong sense of storytelling and understanding of viral hooks, pacing, and retention strategies.
  • Proven track record of growing a social audience and driving engagement.
  • Experience ghostwriting or producing content for executives, thought leaders, or influencers.
  • Comfort with data, able to look at YT/IG data and translate analytics into actionable insights.
  • Passion for restaurants, hospitality, or small business entrepreneurship (bonus if you’ve worked in or around restaurants).
  • Video editing skills (nice to have, but not required).
  • Strong work ethic and willingness to be based in our Bay Area offices 5 days per week.
  • Please include content samples and/or a link to your portfolio

Why Join Us

  • Work directly with our CEO to create engaging, industry-shaping content.
  • Capture real customer stories and case studies that showcase how restaurants thrive with us.
  • Be at the forefront of building a restaurant-first brand on social media.
  • Help shape the voice and community for thousands of restaurant owners.
  • Join a team that values creativity, speed, and bold ideas.
  • Nationwide applicants welcome — if you’re looking to break into Silicon Valley, this is an incredible opportunity to relocate, grow, and accelerate your career.

What We Offer

  • A mission-driven and value-based company dedicated to empower deskless workers and local businesses
  • An early employee opportunity at a Series B hyper-growth startup; work with the founding team and industry veterans to accelerate your career
  • Competitive salary and equity

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

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.
