Role overview:

Our Marketing team drives our brand presence across target markets. From customer engagements to integrated campaigns, they champion Flagright’s story, drive pipeline acceleration, and help customers discover our value through strategic, impactful programs.

We are hiring a Technical Content Lead in the Bay Area to lead and elevate how we communicate with enterprise buyers. You will turn product depth, customer reality, and market insight into content that shapes decisions, not just generates traffic.

You will work closely with internal teams to extract real insight and convert it into high-quality assets that are accurate, differentiated, and useful in live deals. You will raise the bar across all content, bring structure to content production, and ensure publications reflects the level of rigor and clarity expected by technical and enterprise audiences.

People who thrive at Flagright:

• Have been knocked down before and gotten back up

• Are resourceful—they figure things out with whatever tools are available

• Have strong opinions and can defend them

• Learn fast because they're hungry

• Want to work with no-BS people building something important

People who struggle here:

• Need extensive hand-holding

• View high expectations as “unreasonable”

• Actually prioritize work-life balance

• Can’t handle ambiguity or rejection

• Prefer consistent routine over fast-changing priorities

Key responsibilities:

• Manage editorial strategy for technical and commercial content across enterprise and selected mid-market priorities

• Translate GTM narratives, product capabilities, launches, and buyer pain points into high-quality assets used by both buyers and sales teams

• Lead creation of flagship content, including client stories, technical explainers, thought leadership, reports, and webinar scripts

• Partner closely with GTM, Product, Sales, and Solutions team to extract insights and convert them into clear, accurate, and commercially relevant content

• Elevate existing content by rewriting weak pages, sharpening messaging, and improving how technical value is communicated

• Build and manage the content production system, including briefs, editorial calendar, review workflows, source gathering, and publishing standards

• Develop a repeatable approach to client proof, including case studies, quotes, proof points, and sales enablement assets

• Ensure all content is accurate, differentiated, and valuable for enterprise evaluation, not generic traffic-driven output

• Collaborate with distribution teams to ensure flagship content is effectively packaged and promoted post-publication

Who we are looking for:

• A strong B2B SaaS content strategist and writer-editor, not a generic blog manager

• Experience in complex products or regulated categories such as fintech, regtech, fraud, AML, risk, infrastructure, cybersecurity, or similar

• Strong at interviewing subject-matter experts, challenging vague inputs, and extracting concrete insights quickly

• Brings strong editorial judgment and understands what makes content credible to enterprise buyers

• Focused on creating decision-shaping assets, not high-volume, low-impact content

• Comfortable owning both strategy and execution in an early-stage environment

• Works effectively cross-functionally without requiring constant direction

• Capable of setting editorial standards and scaling quality, including mentoring additional writers over time

• Based in the Bay Area with right to work in the USA (visa sponsorship not available)
  This is a fully in-person role, based in our Santa Clara office

Preferred experience

• Background in paralegal work, compliance research, investigative journalism, analyst research, or another research-intensive environment

• Experience writing from primary sources such as regulations, policy documents, enforcement actions, technical docs, product data, or customer interviews

• Exposure to fintech, financial crime, payments, banking infrastructure, or trust-heavy B2B categories

What we offer:

• Housing subsidy for those living within 1 mile of the office

• Leadership position with direct influence on Flagright’s content and publications

• Product with clear, real-world differentiation

• High-bar environment focused on execution, learning, and continuous improvement
