Job description

About Us

At Encord, we're building the AI infrastructure of the future. The biggest challenge AI companies face today is not half as glamorous as the outside world may think: it's all about data quality. In fact, the success of any AI application today relies on the quality of a model's training data — and for 95% of teams, this essential step is both the most costly, and the most time‑consuming, in getting their product to market.

As ex‑computer scientists, physicists, and quants, we felt first‑hand how the lack of tools to prepare quality training data was impeding the progress of building AI. AI today is what the early days of computing or the internet were like, where the potential of the technology is clear, but the tools and processes surrounding it are still primitive, preventing the next generation of applications. This is why we started Encord.

We are a talented and ambitious team of 100+, working at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning, backed by top investors, including CRV and Y Combinator, leading industry executives like Luc Vincent, former VP of AI at Meta, and other top Bay Area leaders in AI. We are one the fastest growing companies in our space, and consistently rated as the best tool in the market by our customers. We have big plans ahead and are looking for a rockstar Account Executive to join us in building our GTM team.

About The Role

Shape how the world's leading AI teams discover and adopt cutting‑edge technology. As our Head of Content, you'll own and scale our global content engine in one of the most exciting spaces in tech. This is a high‑impact role at the core of our pipeline strategy - where your work will directly influence how prospects discover, evaluate, and buy.

You’ll lead content strategy, creation, and distribution, focusing on the formats that matter most - whether that's scaling our video and webinar programs, launching a flagship podcast series, or pioneering new content experiences that create buzz. While we work across multiple channels (blog, SEO, paid, product marketing, events), you'll have the autonomy to prioritize and invest in the initiatives that drive the greatest commercial impact, supported by a team of 2 content professionals with budget to grow.

We're trusted by 200+ world‑class AI teams - and we're just getting started. If you want to create content that fuels growth in one of the most exciting spaces in tech, this is your opportunity.

Responsibilities

• Build a scalable content engine - identifying key formats, topics, and channels that move the needle across the buyer journey, including video content, webinars, and podcasts
• Create sophisticated, technical content that positions us as thought leaders among senior AI executives and decision‑makers
• Own our content ecosystem through a commercial lens - ensuring every piece attracts the right audience, resonates with their needs, and drives conversions
• Pioneer new content formats that create buzz and expand our reach while driving pipeline
• Collaborate with Product, Design, and Sales to ensure all content is accurate and compelling
• Conduct prospect research to inform content strategy and voice‑of‑customer messaging
• Represent the company at events, conferences, and partner gatherings (flexible travel schedule averaging 2 weeks per quarter across Europe and USA, planned well in advance)

About You

• You have at least 6 years of experience in B2B SaaS, with minimum 2 years leading content teams
• You've built scalable content operations using AI - from automating workflows and personalizing content at scale to creating systematic processes that multiply output without sacrificing quality
• Experience creating content for ML, Data Science, or DataOps personas is highly desirable
• You’ve successfully produced diverse content formats including video, webinars, or podcasts that drive both engagement and conversions
• You understand how to create technical, substantive content that earns the respect of senior leaders and technical audiences
• You're both commercial and strategic - understanding how to place smart bets on content activities that drive the greatest business impact
• You can develop high‑level strategy but also roll up your sleeves and execute
• Comfortable with ambiguity, fast pace, and changing priorities - you take initiative without waiting for perfect conditions

What We Offer

• - Competitive salary, commission and equity in a hyper growth business.
• - Strong in‑person culture: most of our team is in the office 3+ days a week.
• - Room to grow into anything you choose to — a year ago we were 25 people, now we're 60. We'll be growing insanely fast over the next 24 months and you'll have all the opportunities for growth as you can handle.
• - 25 days annual leave a year + public holidays.
• - Annual learning and development budget.
• - Paid trips to visit prospects, attend conferences, host events across UK, Europe and US.
• - Company lunches twice a week.
• - Monthly socials & bi‑annual off‑sites.
• Encord offers a unique opportunity to be part of a startup with a clear mission and vision. You will get to explore and build services enterprise AI use cases across many different industry verticals such as healthcare, surveillance, retail, agriculture and many more.
• Our work is at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning, which also includes working on solving unsolved problems within those fields.
