Description
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?
