No matter where you are or how you get the job done, you have what you need to be successful and connected. The mark of true success at Wave is the ability to be bold, learn quickly and share your knowledge generously.
As Senior Manager, Content Marketing you’ll lead a team that creates high-impact content that educates, inspires, and converts small business owners at every stage of their journey—from awareness to activation and growth.
You’ll develop and execute a content strategy that fuels our product-led growth motion, deepens customer engagement, and amplifies the Wave story across multiple channels, including blog, lifecycle, social, video, and in-product education.
You’ll partner closely with Product Marketing, SEO, and Growth Lifecycle teams to deliver full-funnel, insights-driven content that drives measurable business results.
Here's how you'll make an impact:
- Content Strategy & Execution
- Develop a content strategy that aligns with Wave’s business goals, product roadmap, and customer lifecycle.
- Create and oversee high-quality content across web, blog, email, social, and in-product channels that builds awareness and drives adoption.
- Plan and execute editorial calendars that balance brand storytelling with performance outcomes.
- Identify and optimize for SEO and organic growth opportunities in partnership with Growth Marketing.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Product Marketing to translate product value into compelling stories and educational resources.
- Work with Lifecycle and Product teams to create personalized, journey-based content that nurtures activation, conversion, and retention.

- Continuously test and refine messaging, topics, and formats based on data and audience insights.

You'll thrive here if you have:
- Have 7+ years of experience in content marketing and brand storytelling—ideally within SaaS, fintech or a product-led company.
- Are a natural storyteller who can simplify complex topics (like finance and taxes) into content that feels human, clear, and useful.
- Have strong SEO and content performance chops—you’re as comfortable with keyword strategy as you are with creative direction.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
