Responsibilities
- Own the editorial calendar and execute a content strategy designed to shift specific brand perceptions about Recidiviz and the challenges we are solving.
- Build the internal infrastructure to regularly surface impact stories—from data wins to user quotes—and package them into case studies, blog posts, and whitepapers.
- Identify and evaluate press and award opportunities that reach specific audiences rather than chasing vanity metrics in broad outlets. Manage reputation by balancing visibility with thoughtful context.
- Partner with Product Marketing to build a library of state case studies that help our partnership teams show new agencies what is possible, and existing partners the case for more ambitious impact.
- Capture the voice of our executive team to ghostwrite Op-Eds, LinkedIn articles, and speeches that position Recidiviz as a leading govtech innovator.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in content marketing, communications, or journalism, with a portfolio of complex topics translated into compelling narratives.
- Finely tuned sense of 'safe' vs. 'risky' media. Understanding of how to steer in polarized environments and judge which stories will build trust and support the goals of government leaders.
- Comfortable toggling between 'Marketing Mode' (AEO, case studies) and 'Comms Mode' (reputation, media relations).
- Ability to manage an editorial calendar independently, coordinating with internal subject matter experts (SEMs) to extract insights without burdening them.
Nice to Have
- Experience humanizing deeply technical or data-driven content for diverse audiences.
- Proven ability to interview subjects, find the 'hook,' and meet strict deadlines.
- Producing content across video, podcasts, events, long and short-form writing, and interactive formats.
Team

Additional Information
