In September 2017, we announced Village Global, a new type of venture capital fund that is networked at its core. From who we have as financial backers, to how we invest, everything we do is about empowering and connecting people.
So far we’ve been heads down, focused on generating outcomes worth writing about. We’re finally ready to start telling some of the stories of the Village network, and, as such, we’re hiring a Head of Content and Marketing.
The Role
You’ll spread ideas and insights that matter to the tech community. You’ll pull out the best gems from our events, podcasts, and other media and repurpose them across different social media channels.
You’ll interview Village Global luminaries, network leaders, and founders — some of the most talented people across fields, disciplines, and companies — and create original, compelling content based on their stories.
You’ll join the ground floor of a new kind of venture firm and build our content and marketing strategy with us from the ground up.
You’ll go from 0 to 100,000’s of monthly readers/followers/subscribers, and aim to become one of the most recognizable brands in venture capital.
You’ll join a small team where you’ll learn about all aspects of venture capital. We want this to transform your career.
Interested? Here’s what we’re looking for:
You’re a writer, editor, and curator at heart. Maybe you run content for a startup or do marketing for a big company. Maybe you’ve been a founder who loves to write on the side. Maybe you’re starting off your journalism career but want to explore a different way of applying your skill set. You understand storytelling, narrative hooks, and you know a catchy idea when you hear it.
You understand online marketing and want to get better. You already have experience and good instincts when it comes to social media, VC and entrepreneurship Twitter feeds, email marketing, and running experiments to build brands. You geek out on audience building and engagement and use metrics to keep score.
You’ve always wanted to build something from the ground up. We’re looking for someone who can help architect a high level content strategy but who can also execute on it from start to finish on their own. Over time, you might even build a team around you to help fulfill our potential as a firm.
Venture capital and Silicon Valley fascinate you. You don’t necessarily need deep knowledge of all things technology and VC, but you should be wanting to learn fast to become a domain expert.
We’re based in San Francisco, but we’ll accept remote.
To be clear, this role is not:
- General PR — If your dream job is pitching the New York Times and spinning out press releases, this isn’t that.
- General marketing — This is not about designing corporate schwag, booths at conferences, etc.
- Event management/production — We’re already covered there.
