Your Mission

Establish Pie as the leading commercial insurer among small business owners by curating and optimizing high-performing content that nurtures and drives the efficient growth of our audience.

How You’ll Do It

As our Content Marketing Manager, you’ll help our marketing team by producing and publishing content. We want to make small business insurance as easy as pie, and our messaging and content needs to embody this objective.

On a day-to-day basis, that means you manage content across all platforms, including the website and blog, as well as content promotion in email and social media. More broadly, you’ll help us execute our content strategy and keep content production on deadline to meet our SEO objectives.

Small businesses owners are active participants in the buying process. We can't bait them with junk; instead, we must make learning about and buying insurance non-threatening and easy. We must target the right prospective customers and acquire them effectively to succeed, hence our investment in you.

Pie’s marketing team works out of both Denver and DC, but don’t let the geographical divide fool you. This incredibly collaborative team is in tight, constant communication as we work to expand our marketing channels to reach small business owners, attract them to Pie, and retain them as customers.

Whether It's Right For You

You will be joining our team in our Denver office. Everything we do is connected, but we each have different roles. That means we need you to be a strong executor who is comfortable taking direction and working independently. We are a start-up. Being willing and able to adapt your work style is required.

This is not an entry-level role. While you’ll have on-the-job mentoring and knowledge-sharing, you’ll need to come in the door with certain skills. For starters, we expect you’ll have spent at least four to five years in a content marketing role at a growth-focused company. Of course, you’ll also need certain skills and abilities to do the work.

• You love end-to-end content management. You can’t wait to roll up your sleeves to plan and execute compelling content across a variety of digital channels based on our content strategy and SEO goals.
