Content & Marketing Associate

We are looking for a driven Content & Marketing Associate to join our Creative team. In this role, you will own content strategy and execution across Grain's digital touchpoints — from social media and EDMs to website copy and UI/UX. You'll work closely with our Creative Lead and cross-functional teams to craft messaging that resonates with our audience and drives business results.

This is a role for someone who can think strategically about content, execute independently, and articulate the "why" behind every piece of work.

You will:

• Own and execute social media and EDM content strategies to achieve key company objectives

• Manage Grain's Instagram presence: plan content calendars, engage with followers, and grow our community

• Write compelling copy across digital touchpoints — social posts, landing pages, EDMs, menus, ads, and UI/UX

• Develop content briefs for production, clearly articulating the campaign objective, target audience, and key message

• Source and brief content creators/influencers as part of content campaigns — from identifying the right partners to providing clear briefs and managing deliverables

• Support SEO efforts through content optimization and website updates

• Collaborate with Sales to craft lead generation messaging that resonates with potential clients

• Brainstorm and pitch fresh, creative ideas for campaigns and content that stand out

• Monitor content performance metrics and propose improvements based on data

• Provide cross-functional support on tasks that require a storytelling edge

We're looking for someone with:

Attitude:

• You take ownership of your work and drive it to completion without needing to be chased

• You can articulate the "why" behind your work — not just what you're doing, but why it matters

• You're a problem solver who pushes through challenges rather than waiting for someone else to step in

• You care about quality and sweat the details — from copy to formatting to deadlines

• You're curious and proactive about learning new tools and skills

• You can handle ambiguity and context-switch across multiple projects

Skills & Qualifications:

• 2-3 years of experience in content marketing, copywriting, or a related role

• Strong copywriting skills with a portfolio that demonstrates range (social, long-form, UI/UX)

• Ability to think strategically about content — understanding audience, objectives, and messaging

• Experience managing social media channels and content calendars

• Familiarity with SEO principles and content optimization

• Strong communication skills — can brief stakeholders and collaborate with cross-functional teams

• Comfortable working with data to measure content performance and iterate

Technical requirements:

• Must-have: Google Docs/Sheets, social media platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn), basic CMS knowledge

• Good knowledge: SEO tools, email marketing platforms, analytics (GA4 or similar)

• Nice-to-have: Basic design skills (Canva, Figma), photography

What's in it for you:

• Work with a fast-growing, lean team where your work has real impact

• Have ownership over content strategy and execution — not just taking orders

• Work with smart people who care about quality and push for high standards

• Room to grow into a more senior content or marketing role

You should include these in your application:

• CV or LinkedIn profile

• Writing portfolio or samples (social posts, articles, UI copy, etc.)

• Tell us about a piece of content you created that you're proud of. What was the objective and how did it perform?

• What brand's social content do you admire? Why does it stand out to you?
