Job description

Location Calgary, AB (hybrid) Term 4 or 8 months. Summer, Fall, or Winter co-op. Part-time during school term possible.

Writing, research, and targeted outreach for one of the most complex enterprise software markets. Direct input with the founder on positioning.

We operate in one of the largest and most complex enterprise software markets. The buyers are senior, the sales cycles are long, and most common startup marketing tactics do not translate.

We build AI systems for high-stakes enterprise environments, where outputs need to be trusted before anything is acted on. This is a non-obvious product to position and sell, and this role exists because good enterprise marketing starts with clear writing and sharp research, not social media tactics.

You do not need to be technical on day one, but you do need to be comfortable learning technical concepts quickly and turning them into clear messaging.

What you'd do

Three overlapping areas. You will work across all three.

Writing and editing. Blog posts, case briefs, LinkedIn posts, one-pagers. You will take rough ideas or drafts from the engineering team and turn them into something a senior enterprise buyer would actually read.

Research. Which companies fit our product? Who inside them matters? What is changing in the market? You will build account lists, persona notes, competitive summaries, and lightweight briefs that help the team decide where to focus.

Demand and outreach. Targeted outbound on LinkedIn and email, event research, and triage for inbound interest. Nothing sleazy. This is specific, relevant outreach to people who should care.

You will work directly with the founder on positioning and messaging. This work is ambiguous. There is no playbook, and feedback loops are slow.

Who you'd work with

A small senior team, including the founder. You will own this work day to day, with direct input into how we position and grow.

What you need

• Enrolled in business, marketing, communications, economics, journalism, or a similar program. Technical majors are welcome if you can write
• Writing samples. A blog, Substack, published essay, strong class papers, or a thoughtful long-form post
• Curiosity about enterprise software, B2B markets, or how companies actually make buying decisions
• Comfort reading dense technical material and asking useful questions
• Familiarity with AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT for drafting and research, with judgment on output quality

Enterprise software exposure is great to have, not required.

What you'd pick up here

• How enterprise B2B software actually gets sold in practice
• How to write for technical and business audiences without losing precision
• How to run small research and outreach loops and see what actually works
• How a product earns attention in a crowded, skeptical market

The deal

Competitive market rate. Full-time conversion possible.
