Founder's Associate, Office of the CEO

Podium is hiring an AI-pilled, social media-savvy Content Writer to amplify our CEO’s social media presence and build a founder-led content program.

The primary output is founder content, published regularly on our owned social channels. You'll develop a point of view on what's trending in AI and the local business market, learn our CEO’s voice, immerse in what’s going on at Podium and translate it into posts, threads, and narratives that position Podium as the go-to voice in applied AI. You will build an AI-native content machine that earns attention and credibility from the audiences that matter: ICP SMB owners, mid-market operators, tech and business media, and investors. Over time, that presence will drive market confidence and become a sales accelerant via inbound interest, deal credibility, and category authority that no paid channel can replicate.

This is a high visibility, high accountability role that requires a candidate that exercises extreme ownership, thrives in ambiguity and a fast paced environment.

• Experience building agentic content workflows (not just using AI tools, but wiring them together)
• Familiarity with vertical industries (auto, home services, healthcare/aesthetics)
