The Role
You'll create the core materials that explain what AI software engineering makes possible, and why Cognition is the company enterprises should trust to deliver it.
Think of this role as something like a journalist embedded at the front lines of a major technological transformation—one reshaping not just startups, but some of the largest and most sophisticated enterprises in the world. Your job is to understand what's actually happening and make it legible.
This is a hands-on creation role. You'll spend the majority of your time writing, structuring decks, making videos, and shipping artifacts. Your work will reach CIOs and CTOs at Fortune 500 companies, and will be used in closed-door convenings, executive briefings, enterprise sales cycles, and product launches.
The range is wide: thought leadership for executive audiences, sales materials that help close deals, product launch content that connects new capabilities to real customer problems, and customer stories told at different altitudes—from business outcomes for the C-suite to tactical narratives for engineering leaders.
You'll report to the Head of Product Marketing and collaborate closely with sales and company leadership.
The role has a strong research component—you'll need to deeply understand customer use cases, technological details, and how these systems are deployed in practice. You should be genuinely interested in technology, its organizational impact, and the details of how these systems are built and rolled out.
You should have:
Exceptional writing ability, which ultimately stems from clear thinking
Curiosity about technology, and the ability to stay on top of a fast-changing landscape
Research mindset; you want to deeply understand customers’ lives and problems
Intellectual agility to handle the technical and organizational complexity of large enterprises in a rapidly evolving market
Obsessiveness about quality
Willingness to work hard and extreme ownership mindset
You must have:
Experience writing about how technology drives real-world outcomes (in finance, product, journalism, policy, marketing, or similar)
Experience in intense, high-performance environments (in top tech companies, finance, political campaigns, sports, etc.)
Demonstrated ability to learn rapidly
We are open to candidates with a wide range of experiences.
