Content Marketing Lead

Our Mission

Human time and effort is the rarest thing in the universe. The fact that so many people hate what they do for work is a disaster on so many levels. How many people live quiet lives of misery? How many generational talents do we miss due to circumstance? Dex’s mission is to close the gap between Talent & Opportunity. We believe that work, and being productive, is part of the human condition, that regardless of AI, human passion, ingenuity and a desire to do things means that work will always exist.

We are building Dex to create a future where technology helps every individual to understand their strengths, interests and unique abilities, and to connect with opportunities where they can thrive, because more people doing things they love leads to a better, happier and more productive world. We are starting by connecting the world's most ambitious software engineers with the companies that deserve them.

About the Role

As Content Lead at Dex, you'll write and publish everything that carries our name. You'll own Dex's channels: the website, social, email, our events programme and blog. You'll take a content strategy that already exists and turn it into a steady, high-quality output. This is a job for someone who writes fast and well, and who thinks past the draft. The copy is half of it. The other half is knowing where a piece needs to land, what it needs to look like to get found, and what it should do to the reader once it does. You'll work closely with Marketing, Growth, Design and Product. You'll have real autonomy and very little bureaucracy.

What You'll Do

• Own the channels. The publishing calendar across site, social, email and the blog is yours. You decide what runs, when, and in what order.
• Write across every format. LinkedIn and X posts, campaign and event emails, landing pages, product and lifecycle copy, event pages and follow-ups, articles and explainers.
• Think in distribution, not just drafts. Every piece gets planned around where it will be read.
• Write for search and AI answers. We have a GEO and SEO spec built with our search partner.
• Carry the events programme. Copy and collateral for our event series, before, during and after, and the follow-up sequences that turn attendance into something.
• Work the numbers. Track performance and report back on the metrics that matter across our owned blog and organic social media channels.
• Use AI properly. Research, outlining, structuring, first passes, repurposing, quality checks.
• Guard the voice. You'll be the most frequent user of our tone of voice and audience research.

What we're looking for

• 4+ years writing in-house or at an agency, ideally for a technical or developer audience.
• Genuine range across formats and lengths, evidenced by a portfolio of published work.
• A real view on distribution: where our audience discovers, consumes and shares things.
• Working knowledge of SEO and how AI search surfaces content.
• Fluent with AI tools across research, outlining and iteration.
• Commercial literacy. You can connect a piece of content to an outcome.
• Editorial judgement under your own steam.
• A proactive communicator who works well without supervision.

Nice to Have

• Any technical background, formal or self-taught.
• You've run a newsletter, blog or publication of your own.
• Experience marketing to engineers, developers or another audience that punishes fluff.
• Experience with content for events and communities.
• Basic design or motion skills.

What this role isn't

• Not a strategy job. The strategy exists and you're here to execute it.
• Not a pure writing job. Publishing, sequencing, formatting, distribution and measurement are all yours.

What We Offer

• Above market salary.
• Significant equity.
• Full private healthcare & dental.
• Fertility benefits & enhanced parental support.
• Gym membership & wellness benefits.
• Claude tokens — lots and lots of Claude tokens.
• Regular socials, offsites and an annual trip.
• MacBook Pro + team kit.

Interview process

We move quickly and with conviction. Broadly you can expect:

• A 30m video call with our Internal Talent Lead.
• Hiring Manager call.
• Most roles involve a practical task to better understand how you work.
• Onsite interview loop where you'll visit the office.
