We’re looking for someone who understands the AI space and knows how to turn technical concepts into content that teaches, inspires, and drives growth. You’ve probably written technical tutorials, explored AI tools hands-on, and know how to make YouTube a serious content channel. If you’re someone who knows how to explain complex technical topics with a growth mindset, we’d love to work with you.
What You’ll Do
- Own the content plan across the full funnel, from awareness to education to conversion, and track what’s working.
- Write technical tutorials, case studies, playbooks, and other educational content to help product and engineering teams build with AI and get familiar with the Vellum ecosystem.
- Create product-focused content that helps new users get started and experienced users go deeper (including best practices, how-tos, and feature guides).
- Partner with the growth lead to get content in front of the right people, beyond SEO, through community, email, OSS, PLG, social, partnerships, and earned media.
- Build and grow our YouTube presence: outline, produce, and publish educational video content that people actually want to watch.
- Work with GTM, engineers, and customers to break down complex ideas into content that resonates, brings prospects into the funnel, and is useful to Vellum’s customers
What You Bring
- You have experience writing technical content for a B2B audience, ideally in the AI or devtools space.
- You have multichannel fluency. You know how to adapt content for various mediums: articles, reports, social, video scripts.
- You know your way around video: scripting, editing, posting, and how to grow viewership on YouTube.
- You’re technical enough to pick up new concepts quickly, and curious enough to dig deep and ask the right questions when something isn’t clear.
- You know when and how to use AI tools to help speed up your process, while keeping the quality of your content high.
- You’re very creative, and standard marketing ideas bore you. You have crazy content ideas to get Vellum’s name and thought leadership out there.
Great to have
- You’ve worked at a growing startup and understand how to prioritize content for speed and impact.
- You’ve built something with AI. A side project, an integration, or even just explored enough to speak credibly about how it works.
- You’re familiar with GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), and have some ideas on how we should approach it.
At Vellum, our mission is to be the primary platform companies use to bring AI into production. AI is the biggest technology shift since the internet – the applications of it are everywhere! We expect the world to be dramatically different in the future as foundation models get better and better. We intend to be the platform layer that brings this amazing technology to life in production use cases.
We enable companies to bring real business value from AI / LLMs. The output generated by AI / LLMs is usually stochastic and bringing AI into production requires robust testing and choosing the right model for the job. We’ve seen companies spend months of engineering time building good tooling for this (time which could be spent on their core end user facing product) yet despite this, they struggle to get the best results out of these models. Our platform provides companies best in class tooling to use their own data in production AI applications.
We’re a YC W23 company, raised $10m, and are backed by top investors like Rebel Fund, Eastlink Capital, Arash Ferdowsi (co-founder of Dropbox), Dharmesh Shah (co-founder of Hubspot), Dan Scholnick (board member of Weights & Biases, Docker, New Relic), and Divya Bhat (former YC group partner, 2x CEO). We announced our fundraise on TechCrunch here: https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/11/prompt-engineering-startup-vellum-ai/
We've been growing at 15% MoM consistently and are looking to continue that trend for the next several quarters. This is an exciting time to join early on our journey!
P.S: Why the name Vellum?
- Vellum is a type of paper - the Magna Carta was written on Vellum. We intend to be the standard source of record in production
- You can’t spell Vellum without LLM 😉
