About Us
Codeword is a communication design agency that helps brands create breakthrough comms, content, and community experiences.
We’re a fast-moving team of writers, editors, designers, strategists, videographers, PR mavens, and even a few traditional marketers.
Our incredible roster of big and small tech clients trust us to launch their startups, run multi-channel campaigns, grow their user bases, and lead comprehensive PR and marketing initiatives. We’re storytellers and brand engineers, and we love big ideas that serve a real purpose.
Codeword is a remote-first agency, though we have physical offices in NYC and SF that we won’t make you visit.
About You
- 8+ years of experience in Content, Marketing, Journalism, Advertising, or a related field
- Creative and out-of-the-box thinker who comes up with better descriptions than “out-of-the-box”
- Top-notch writing and editing skills, plus comfort with formats including articles, blogs, social media posts, scripts, and keynotes
- Ability to take a complicated tech subject and present it in a way that’s both clear and interesting
- Experience gathering and organizing information, and ensuring correct messaging elevation for senior execs
- Experience meeting deadlines while juggling multiple projects
- Not shy about sharing your opinion with your team and clients (without being a jerk)
- Excited to push creative limits when it comes to projects (and Friendsgiving recipes!)
- Experience with a CMS is encouraged, but not required (though a willingness to learn is!).
About This Role
The Content Marketing Managers will be directly embedded with one of our client teams. You’ll support creative projects from ideation to execution, developing everything from campaign concepts to newsletters to websites and social.
In this role, you’ll work fairly independently with clients and help the agency continue to build trust and relationships. You’ll need to ensure you stay on top of the news, insights, and audience trends related to our client work.
This role isn’t just writing… when it comes to leading the development of content (ex., script development, keynotes, blog posts, newsletters, and website). You’ll also be expected to project manage and support the team on visual design and ensure content is optimized for the channel and growth. Throughout the content development process, you will work with other client teams and agencies to drive newsletter engagement/growth strategy, and redesign/update websites from simple visual redesigns to overhauling for new user journeys.You know how to make a headline punchier, cut down on fluff, and enjoy mentoring others to develop those skills. And it probably goes without saying, but we’ll say it anyway: We’re looking for eagle-eyed teammates who delight in the details, love to write, and agree that accuracy is everything.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Developing high-quality creative across a range of formats
- Interviewing subject matter experts
- Editing copy from non-writers (e.g., subject matter experts, developers, technical experts, and C-suite executives)
- Managing digital content refreshes, like website redesigns and the creation of new landing pages
- Honing your inner anthropologist to become an expert on your client’s audience
- Contributing to and leading testing strategies, especially related to newsletter subscriber growth
- Responding with a GIF when it says so much more than words
- Over-sharing pictures of your pet and/or unpopular opinions about the latest show/movie/album
Your Compensation
People – that’s you! – are the heart of our business, and we believe in pay transparency.
Our budget for this role is $130,000K – $165,000K depending on experience.

A few more things you should know about Codeword
- The Codeword dream: Make good money doing work you care about with people you like.
- We love our clients (they write the checks!), which means maintaining a high bar for the creativity, smarts, responsiveness, and communication skills we offer them.
- We’re around 100 people, big enough to handle large-scale marketing programs, small enough that you’ll have an impact on our culture.
- We’re a friendly team, we look after each other, and we grow our careers together.
- We respect everyone’s personal life. After-hours emails are strongly frowned upon, night and weekend work is very rare, and employees are encouraged to pursue their side-hustles.
- We’re all grownups here, and we trust each other to get the work done, whether at home or in an office or a time zone on the other side of the world.
- We believe in defaulting to openness. Our calendars, our salary tiers, and our doors are open for all to see. (Except for secret client stuff, which we guard with our lives.)
- We’re a proud member of the global WE Communications family.
- Equal Opportunity: Codeword provides equal employment opportunity and doesn’t discriminate against employees or applicants because of age, race, color, religion, gender, national origin, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, or other legally protected class status.
- Diversity and Inclusion: Codeword works hard to foster a diverse team and an inclusive workplace where everyone thrives.
We aren’t a traditional agency, so we like to hire people who don’t necessarily fit the agency mold or check all the “right” boxes. If you’re on the fence about applying, please do!
