- US Eastern overlap
Why I'm writing this
If you're reading this, someone on our team sent it to you on purpose. We're not blasting this out. We're looking for one person, and we think it might be you.
Here's the situation. ZenPilot has spent 13 years helping 3,100+ teams run their operations in ClickUp. We have more real-world material than any team could ever publish: real client builds, real workflows, real mistakes and the fixes. When I sit down and turn that into a video or a guide, it performs. The problem is volume. Content only happens when I have time, and I don't have enough of it.
So this role exists to fix that. You'd own the content engine end to end, be the face of it, and grow into leading all of ZenPilot's marketing as you prove it out. You won't be starting from zero. You'll have a decade of expertise behind you, a Delivery team you can pull insights from every week, and full creative ownership of what we make.
If that sounds like the seat you've been looking for, keep reading.

The job
What you'll own
Teach
Be the on-camera voice of agency operations in ClickUp. Turn the ZenPilot Methodology, client success stories, and Delivery insights into practical, teachable content.
Ship
Own the cadence. A high volume of video and written content: guides, tutorials, breakdowns, real-world use cases. Repurpose long-form into shorts, LinkedIn, and a consistent social rhythm.
Grow
Own channel strategy: what we make, who it's for, where it lives, and why. Build the calendar from what customers actually search for and ask about.
The path
How the role grows
We're intentionally starting this role focused. Nail content first. As you prove it out, the role grows with you.
-
First few months
Content
Strategy, production (with SME support), and shipping cadence across video, written guides, and social.
-
Next
Email + events
Pick up First-Class Operations (our bi-weekly email) and the webinar series.
-
Then
All of marketing
Customer marketing, partner marketing, ads. Once the content engine is running, the rest of the function is yours to lead.
One number
Qualified first-time appointments held.
Content takes time to compound and we know that. Early on we'll watch leading indicators together: publishing cadence, engagement, conversion.
But everything you make should be built to drive qualified sales conversations, not vanity metrics.
- Publishing cadence
- Engagement
- Conversion
The person
You're a great fit if you
- Are genuinely good on camera. Clear, warm, natural. You've made videos before and can show us.
- Write clearly and confidently. Writing is a core requirement, not a bonus.
- Know ClickUp deeply, or have gone deep on an adjacent tool and ramp fast.
- Ship consistently. Weekly output beats occasional masterpieces.
- Think in systems and patterns, and turn them into repeatable frameworks.
- Have grown a channel before (YouTube, search, social) and can point to it.
- Want tight alignment between content, sales, and real customer problems.
- Are hungry for ownership and room to grow.
- Agency or professional-services background
- HubSpot experience
- AI-tool fluency for research, writing, and video workflows

The process
How we hire
Four steps. No trick questions. Every stage is designed to show us how you actually work, not how well you interview.
-
Apply
A short form with three questions that show us how you think.
-
Screening call with Aimee
20-30 minutes on your portfolio, timezone, and how you think about content.
-
Work sample
Pick one topic (or pitch a better one) and produce it end to end: research, structure, script, record. Deliberately unpolished. We want to see how you think and how you translate it to camera.
-
Final conversation with Gray
Top candidates meet me directly.
