This role owns written content across blogs, email, customer stories, product launches, and thought leadership, with a strong emphasis on SEO, accuracy, and clarity.

At Boom, content plays a critical role in how property managers discover us, understand our products, and see measurable value. You’ll partner closely with product marketing, growth, customer success, and leadership to translate real customer insights and product updates into content that is useful, credible, and easy to understand.

This is a hands-on writing role for someone who enjoys owning projects end-to-end and thrives in a fast-paced environment.

What you'll do

• SEO-driven content creation: Write and optimize blog content that targets relevant keywords, supports organic growth, and aligns with product and market priorities

• Customer stories & case studies: Conduct customer interviews and turn real-world outcomes into structured case studies and customer-facing stories

• Thought leadership: Write long-form and short-form thought leadership content that reflects Boom’s point of view on property management, financial services, and the renter lifecycle

• Press & announcements: Draft press releases and supporting content for company news, partnerships, and product launches

• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with product marketing, growth, customer success, and leadership to gather insights, align on messaging, and ensure content accuracy

• Editorial planning: Contribute to content calendars, briefs, and planning to support consistent output across channels

• Quality & consistency: Ensure all content is accurate, on-brand, well-structured, and detail-oriented, with a strong editorial standard

What you'll need

• Strong understanding of SEO fundamentals, including keyword research, on-page optimization, and search intent

• Exceptional attention to detail and comfort owning content from draft through final review

• Competitive salary with stock options

• Full healthcare coverage (health, dental, vision) including 50% coverage for dependents

• 15 days of Paid Time Off (PTO) per year + 3 sick days + all US federal holidays (11 in total) (note: we think unlimited PTO is BS and causes some employees to feel guilty when they take it)
