About the position
The Stories team is a small but mighty facet of our Brand team that works on all flavors of storytelling—from content marketing to editorial, social, live programming, email, and beyond. We’re blog builders, magazine makers, newsletter strategists, social media managers, video producers, and creative thinkers who work in very close partnership with Design, Copy, Growth Marketing, Product Marketing, Comms, Community, and others across Mercury.

You’ll bring thoughtfulness and care to everything you do while maintaining a bias toward action and strong results-orientation, leveling up the impact of both new and existing content. You’ll get to make really interesting stuff, drive forward some programs and processes, and focus hard on how content can deliver outsized business results and real, meaningful value to ambitious builders and entrepreneurial audiences.
