Full Job Description

📋 Description

• We’re looking for someone to own our voice on social and help make Kong famous.
• You’ll work with the Director of New Media to set strategy and tone, but YOU will own the channels and get to run with your own ideas.
• This job will be building something new, not maintaining what’s been done before.
• You’ll write daily content across LinkedIn and Twitter/X for both the Kong brand and execs.
• You’ll develop recurring content formats, narratives, and POVs that build long-term audience equity.
• You’ll turn product launches, customer stories, internet moments, and internal thinking into high-performing posts.
• You’ll ghostwrite posts, threads, launch copy, and reactive commentary for leadership.
• You’ll help us kickstart our short-form video strategy.
• You’ll work closely with Product Marketing to sharpen messaging and positioning.
• You’ll study competitors (to make sure we’re nothing like them).
• You’ll maintain a fast feedback loop around what works and what doesn’t; experiment constantly with tone, format, visuals, and distribution.
• You’ll help build the culture internally: encourage and enable employees to show up on social themselves.

🎯 Requirements

• 1-5 years making things on social: we care less about the number of years and more about proof that you’re good at this and obsessed with the craft.
• Strong instincts for internet humor, timing, and attention.
• Comfortable owning a channel end to end.
• Able to make things yourself: write, shoot, and ship the actual post, not just plan or strategize.
• Can adapt your own writing voice to match the target audience.
• Willing to get fluent in a technical product and audience.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Flexible work environment.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• Collaborative and dynamic work environment.
• Access to cutting-edge technology and tools.
• Recognition and rewards for outstanding performance.
