Lead Content Manager

At Quickbase, we build software for the people who run operations — the project coordinators, ops managers, facilities leads, and field supervisors who keep work moving. Nearly 12,000 organizations like Consigli, Suffolk, Valvoline, and Daifuku run on our platform.

In April 2026, we launched Pave, our AI app builder. Pave is our growth bet — and the reason we're hiring. Most AI app builders target developers and founders. Pave is for the operators who don't want to build apps; they want their work done. We're building the content engine to reach them.

We sell three products: Pave (AI app builder), Quickbase Classic (dynamic work management), and FastField (frontline and field operations). Each one serves a different buyer with a different set of problems.

We're hiring a Lead Content Manager to join the content team. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who thinks strategically about content and edits to a high bar — a strategist whose taste shows up in every draft they touch. You will report to the Director of Content and work across all three business units.

The work runs in both directions. You will help shape what gets made — the thesis, the audience, the funnel stage, the channel. You will also edit the drafts that come back, sharpen them, and help writers on the team grow as content marketers. The strategy and the editing are the same skill. A weak brief and a weak draft both fail for the same reasons, and a good strategist can spot either one.

You should have a clear point of view on what makes content good. Not just "it ranks," but Is it worth a reader's time? Will it perform to its purpose? You can tell the difference between a TOFU thought leadership piece and a BOFU decision-stage asset, and you can explain why a draft belongs in one bucket and not the other. 

• Shape content ideas across Pave, Quickbase Classic, and FastField — sharpen what gets made and why, with a clear thesis on funnel stage, audience, and distribution
• Partner with requesters to challenge vague briefs and reshape them into something a writer can run with — you can tell a requester their brief isn't ready and help them get it there without losing the relationship
• Edit drafts to a high editorial standard — clarity, structure, voice, and substance
• Give writers specific, direct feedback that helps them grow as content marketers, not just as writers
• Partner with SEO, demand gen, product marketing, and brand on integrated programs
• Refresh and improve existing content to lift performance and tighten our editorial point of view

• 6+ years in content marketing, preferably B2B SaaS
• A portfolio of work you wrote or edited that you can defend on substance, not just metrics
• Strong strategic thinking — you can look at a campaign and say what content it needs and why
• Strong editorial instincts — you know what makes writing good and you can explain it
• Funnel fluency — you understand the difference between top, middle, and bottom of funnel and can place content accordingly
• Experience editing other writers and giving feedback that improves their work
• Comfort with ambiguity — you can shape a plan when one doesn't exist yet

• Background in agency or in-house content programs that ship at volume without losing quality
• Working knowledge of SEO and AEO — you don't need to own it, but you should understand how it shapes content decisions
• Familiarity with operator-facing software, ops roles, or field/frontline work
• Experience with AI tools in a content workflow — Claude, ChatGPT, or similar
