Creative Content Strategist, Manager

The Role

You will own and optimize Single Grain’s content engine end to end. This is not a coordinator role. You are both the strategist and the operator.

Your job is to turn content into qualified inbound opportunities.

You will deeply understand how content and social media channels actually work, build AI powered systems that increase leverage, and create the foundation for scale. Every asset must have a defined outcome. Every experiment must have a hypothesis. Every month must show iteration.

Single Grain is a fast moving, award winning, AI driven digital marketing agency. We have been helping top brands like Amazon, Uber, and Salesforce grow since 2009. We specialize in Paid Media, SEO, Content Marketing, CRO, and more, powered by a lean, high performing team focused on smart, impactful work.

We do not just use AI, we build it. We have created proprietary AI tools including Karrot.ai, an AI powered performance marketing system that generates ads, landing pages, and campaign assets in seconds, and Click Flow, an AI driven SEO experimentation platform that helps teams identify content opportunities, optimize pages, and increase organic traffic through systematic testing and workflow automation.

These tools are not side projects. They are embedded into how we operate and how we serve clients.

We practice what we preach. Our podcast has 150 plus million downloads, and more than 193,000 marketers subscribe to our You Tube channel.

We move quickly, push hard, and expect a lot from ourselves and each other. AI is not just a tool we use. It is core to how we operate, from creative to strategy to execution. Our long term vision is to build a small but elite team that stays lean, scrappy, and relentlessly focused on tech enabled innovation and measurable business impact.

We do not micromanage. We do not hire people who need their hands held. But we do collaborate deeply, give honest feedback, and leave space for mistakes, growth, and iteration. No egos. No fluff. Just people who care about doing great work and supporting each other.
