Head of Marketing & Content
Pen Manufacturing / Metal Solutions
Anaheim, CA
Full Time | On Site, 5 Days Per Week
Compensation: $80,000 to $120,000 Base + Performance Compensation | OTE up to $200,000

We are looking for a hands on Head of Marketing & Content to build the marketing engine for Pen Manufacturing and, over time, the broader Metal Solutions platform.

This role starts at our Pen Manufacturing plant in Anaheim. The initial mission is simple: build a high output marketing and content engine that works  we prove the model and grow Metal Solutions, we want this person to expand that playbook across our other manufacturing companies and plants and ultimately grow into leading marketing across the broader platform.

This is not a role for someone who wants to sit behind an agency, manage a calendar, and review other people's work.

We want a builder and creator.

You should be equally comfortable developing marketing strategy, walking onto the manufacturing floor with a camera, interviewing a welder or engineer, editing the footage, publishing it on Linked In, managing a newsletter, reviewing CRM data, and getting on a call with an outside SDR agency to improve its performance.

Content Creation

Our goal is to build toward approximately five pieces of content per day , ranging from short form posts and videos to longer form articles, case studies, newsletters, and customer stories.

You will personally:

• Shoot photo and video content
• Edit short and long form video
• Write Linked In posts, articles, case studies, emails, and website copy
• Interview employees, customers, executives, and technical experts
• Turn shop floor activity into compelling stories
• Repurpose individual stories into multiple pieces of content across channels
• Build and manage a consistent content calendar

We want someone who can walk the manufacturing floor, see an interesting project being built, and immediately recognize five different pieces of content that can come from it.

AI experience is a major plus. We want someone who understands how to use AI tools to accelerate video and content editing, research, repurposing, automation, and overall production volume without sacrificing quality.

Linked In

Linked In will be one of our most important channels.

You will own strategy and execution for company pages, executive profiles, thought leadership, customer engagement, recruiting content, and content supporting our outbound sales efforts.

We want someone who genuinely understands Linked In and what gets attention, engagement, and ultimately commercial results, not someone who simply knows how to schedule posts.

Newsletters & Email

Own our ongoing customer and prospect newsletter strategy, including identifying stories, writing and editing copy, building campaigns, maintaining lists, and measuring performance.

Marketing needs to contribute to revenue.

You will work directly with leadership and Sales to:

• Identify target customers and industries
• Develop messaging and campaigns
• Support outbound prospecting
• Manage outside SDR and appointment setting agencies
• Review targeting and account lists
• Monitor lead and appointment quality
• Hold outside partners accountable for results
• Track what turns into pipeline and revenue

You will also help maintain CRM cleanliness, lead data, campaign attribution, and basic sales and marketing workflows.

SEO, Website & Digital Marketing

We currently work with outside marketing resources, but our goal is to bring significantly more capability in house.

Strong practical SEO experience is therefore a major advantage. Ideally, you understand keyword strategy, on page SEO, content strategy, website management, analytics, and the fundamentals of technical SEO.

Our ideal hire eventually becomes capable enough across content, SEO, website, email, analytics, and digital marketing that we can substantially reduce or eliminate our dependence on an outside marketing agency.

We care more about what you can actually build than the titles you have held.

You should have:

• Excellent writing ability
• Video shooting and editing experience
• Deep understanding of Linked In
• Strong marketing strategy instincts
• Experience working directly with sales teams
• Experience managing SDR agencies, lead generation partners, or outbound campaigns
• Strong analytical instincts and an ability to connect marketing activity to commercial results
• The ability to understand technical products and communicate them simply
• The ability to operate independently without a large marketing team underneath you
• High standards for creative quality combined with the ability to produce content at high volume
• Experience using AI to dramatically increase content…
