Job description

• Privacy is one of the defining fights of this decade, and most of the public conversation about it is still boring, jargon-heavy, or fear-based
• We want to change that
• We’re hiring a Social Media Associate to own and grow Cape’s voice across social media channels
• This person will be the driving force behind multiplying our following, sharpening our brand voice into something people actually want to engage with, and helping establish Cape as a credible, quotable voice in the broader public conversation about privacy, not just another company posting product updates
• This is a high-ownership role for someone who is a sharp, distinctive writer first, and who wants to grow social channels rather than just maintain existing ones
• You’ll have real input into how Cape shows up in the world, not just execute a content calendar someone else designed
• Content & voice: Own social copywriting, editing, and posting end-to-end. Develop and evolve Cape’s brand voice across channels. Copy edit and upload blog posts. Write and edit email marketing copy; format and help build out email flows/sequences Proofread across all of the above - nothing goes out with typos or off-brand language
• Thought leadership & positioning: Help identify and shape opportunities for Cape to weigh in on public privacy conversations. Translate technical/product features into compelling narratives for social and video
• Light operations: Order business cards, conference materials, etc. Reply to inbound email inquiries, which requires getting familiar enough with the product to represent it accurately
• What We Value:
• Cape’s social following and engagement grow meaningfully, with a voice that’s recognizable and differentiated from typical security/privacy brand accounts
• Our content gets cited, shared, or referenced in broader privacy conversations. Reporters, researchers, and other players in the space start to see Cape as a credible source, not just a product
• Email flows run smoothly with minimal oversight, and copy quality is consistently high
• You’ve built systems (calendars, trackers, briefs) that make the function scale beyond just you

Benefits

• Disability insurance
• 401(k)
• Vision insurance
• Paid paternity leave
• Commuter benefits
• Medical insurance
• Dental insurance
• Paid maternity leave

• Creative instincts, not just execution: someone who pitches ideas, not just fills a calendar
• Excellent, distinctive writing
• Strong organizational skills: comfortable building and maintaining spreadsheet trackers to manage projects and content calendars (Bonus Points)
• Video filming and editing experience (Plus) a portfolio of past work
• High attention to detail (Bonus Points)
• Interest in or familiarity with privacy, security, or tech policy conversations
