Open role
Marketing Associate
Digital and Content
Turn one partner-authored whitepaper into a week of channel-ready content. Own the website, SEO, and the AI tooling that makes our work findable by humans and by AI systems.
The role
What you'll actually be doing
Cortado generates an extraordinary amount of content: whitepapers, podcasts, LinkedIn posts, Substacks, dev articles, frameworks, tools, quizzes. Historically the bottleneck has been humans turning long-form work into everything else it should become. That bottleneck is a tooling problem, and you are the person solving it with AI.
You run the content engine that turns one partner-authored whitepaper into a week's worth of channel-ready material, and you run the digital surface area that makes sure the right people find it.
Day to day
What you will do
- Run the website, SEO, and AIO footprint. Make our work findable by humans and by the AI systems humans increasingly ask first.
- Take partner-authored long-form content and reshape it across LinkedIn, Substack, YouTube, podcast clips, and whatever platform comes next, using AI for the heavy lifting.
- Own the content operations layer: schedule, publish, measure, iterate.
- Support paid digital where it makes sense.
- Build the repeatable motions. If you are repurposing one whitepaper by hand, you are doing it wrong.
Fit
Who we are looking for
- You are comfortable being uncomfortable. You want your work to be visible and measured, not hidden in a marketing team of fifty.
- You have a portfolio. Posts, articles, sites, side projects, zines, whatever. We want to see your taste and your point of view.
- You are fluent with modern AI tooling across text, image, audio, and video. You already have opinions about which tools do what well.
- You write cleanly. Short sentences. Specific verbs. A perspective.
- You are comfortable being measured and you want to be.
- Zero to three years of experience. Recent grads welcome.
Trajectory
What you will learn
How B2B content actually drives pipeline. How senior operators decide what is worth saying. How to turn one piece of thought leadership into an engine. How to wield AI across the full stack of content production without it sounding like AI wrote it.
The bigger picture
Why Cortado
We're an AI-fueled consultancy run by ex-C-suite operators. Our partners have spent careers figuring out what good looks like, and that judgment is encoded into how we work: playbooks, workflows, and AI tools pointed at real client engagements where the decisions move real money.
You will be in rooms with partners who have run companies. You will be in front of C-suite clients whose decisions move millions. You will be making calls faster than you feel ready to make them. This happens early, and it happens on purpose.
The people who thrive here chase being uncomfortable. That is the sensation of actually growing. Our alumni who started where you're starting are now running teams of their own.
On AI
We expect you already use it.
We'll help you use AI in ways you never considered, and help you rethink your profession through AI that takes away the drudgery and puts the focus back on creativity.
Honesty
What this role is not
Not a political seat. Execution is the coin of the realm here. That is a gift if you're good and a problem if you're not, and there is nowhere to hide either way.
Not a craftsman's workshop. If your reflex is to build your own version of everything and never share it, this will make you miserable. If your reflex is to build once, build it well, and make sure it comes home so the next person moves faster, welcome.
You're about to enter the room you want to be the least experienced person in.
If you like learning, you will be baptised by fire in a real-world education unlike any other.
You may leave Cortado, but your experience at Cortado will never leave you.
