Content and Social Media Associate

The Role

Privacy is one of the defining fights of this decade, and most of the public conversation about it is still boring, jargon-heavy, or fear-based. We want to change that.

We're hiring a Social Media Associate to own and grow Cape's voice across social media channels. This person will be the driving force behind multiplying our following, sharpening our brand voice into something people actually want to engage with, and helping establish Cape as a credible, quotable voice in the broader public conversation about privacy, not just another company posting product updates.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who is a sharp, distinctive writer first, and who wants to grow social channels rather than just maintain existing ones. You'll have real input into how Cape shows up in the world, not just execute a content calendar someone else designed.

What You'll Work On

Content & voice: Own social copywriting, editing, and posting end-to-end. Develop and evolve Cape's brand voice across channels. Copy edit and upload blog posts. Write and edit email marketing copy; format and help build out email flows/sequences Proofread across all of the above - nothing goes out with typos or off-brand language.

Thought leadership & positioning: Help identify and shape opportunities for Cape to weigh in on public privacy conversations. Translate technical/product features into compelling narratives for social and video

Light operations: Order business cards, conference materials, etc. Reply to inbound email inquiries, which requires getting familiar enough with the product to represent it accurately
