Your Role:
At Alpaca, we believe every meaningful company initiative should become a scalable content opportunity. We don't treat content as a series of one-off announcements—we treat it as an engine.
We’re looking for a Head of Content & Media to build Alpaca into a leading media and lifestyle brand at the intersection of financial services, investing, technology, and global markets.
This person will build and lead our AI-first content engine while developing original media properties, including Alpaca’s podcast platform, video programming, executive-led content, and other recurring editorial franchises. The role is equal parts media strategist, content leader, operator, storyteller, and builder.
You’ll create the strategy, systems, workflows, and automation that transform product launches, customer wins, partnerships, podcasts, industry developments, and company milestones into compelling content across every channel. You will also establish a distinctive editorial voice and build an audience that looks to Alpaca for valuable insights, conversations, and perspectives on the future of financial services.
This is not a traditional content marketing role. You’re building the media and lifestyle brand and content flywheel that power Alpaca’s brand, thought leadership, customer education, audience growth, and commercial success. Business teams own their objectives, audiences, and core messaging; you own the media strategy and operating system that transform those inputs into high-quality content and scalable media programming.
What you’ll do:
- Own the strategy and buildout of Alpaca as a recognized media brand, developing a differentiated editorial voice, recurring programming, and an engaged audience across financial services, investing, technology, and global markets
- Manage the content team and build Alpaca’s AI-first content operating system, creating a content flywheel that turns every meaningful company initiative and industry conversation into a repeatable media opportunity
- Build and own Alpaca’s podcast platform from the ground up, including its editorial direction, format, guest strategy, production, distribution, audience development, and performance
- Develop podcast and video programming featuring executives, customers, partners, industry leaders, and other influential voices, positioning Alpaca at the center of important industry conversations
- Use podcast conversations and original media programming to amplify product news, fundraising announcements, major partnerships, customer stories, company milestones, and industry insights
- Create original editorial franchises and repeatable content formats that audiences associate with Alpaca, spanning podcasts, video series, newsletters, interviews, research, events, and social content
- Own the complete content and media lifecycle, from editorial planning and production through publis
