Nobody in this space is telling the story well - and that's the opportunity. We're looking for someone to become the voice of Sphinx: building our content engine from scratch across every format and channel. If you can write a blog post that gets shared by a bank's CCO, produce a podcast that people actually listen to, and think about billboards and newsletters with the same level of care, we should talk.\nBackground\nBefore you can move money or open an account, someone has to make sure you're not a criminal. That's compliance, and it's broken.\nSphinx builds AI analysts that work inside browsers, APIs, and internal systems just like humans - automating AML, KYC, KYB, and transaction monitoring end-to-end.\nWe help banks and fintechs eliminate 90% of manual work, cut compliance costs by 4x, and make onboarding instantaneous. We're trusted by leading institutions across the U.S., Canada, Europe, and LatAm.\nWe've built a product people love. The content has been founder-led from day one, and it's working. But we're at the point where we need someone to take what's been built, expand it across every channel and format, and turn it into a content engine that scales.\nWhy Join Sphinx\nYou'll define the brand from scratch: There's no existing content team, no legacy brand guidelines, no \"this is how we've always done it.\" You'll build Sphinx's voice, visual identity, and content strategy from the ground up.\n\nThe story writes itself: We're replacing a $200B manual industry with AI agents that actually work. Our customers see 90% less manual work. We've never lost a deal. The material is there - it just needs someone who can tell it.\n\nMulti-format, multi-channel: This isn't a \"write blog posts\" role. You'll work across text, video, podcasts, newsletters, social, physical campaigns, and whatever else you think works. If you have range, you'll use all of it.\n\nWe have never lost a deal to a competitor: Yes you heard that right, we've won every RFP we've been in. Great content will pour fuel on a fire that's already burning.\n\nSmall team, big surface area: Our co-founders previously sold an AI company & have built ML systems that scaled to millions of users and closed deals with major banks. The rest of our team in SF includes PhDs, industry experts, and competitive coders.\n\nZero startup bullshit: We're not chasing vanity metrics or engagement bait. We care about content that builds trust, drives pipeline, and makes people pay attention.\n\nWhat You'll Work On\nBuild Sphinx's content engine from zero. Define the strategy, own the calendar, and create the systems that let us publish consistently across every channel - blog, social, newsletter, podcast, video, and physical campaigns.\nTell stories across every format. Write long-form blog posts and thought leadership that positions Sphinx as the authority in AI-powered compliance. Produce video and podcast content that brings our customers, team, and space to life. Design physical outreach (from billboards to event collateral) that makes people stop and look.\nCover every angle that matters. The company, the customers, the team, the space. You'll turn customer wins into case studies, team insights into thought leadership, industry trends into sharp takes, and product launches into moments that get noticed.\nWork across the entire company. You'll pull stories from engineering, product, sales, compliance, and leadership. You'll collaborate with the GTM team to make sure content drives real pipeline, and with the CEO to shape how Sphinx shows up in the world.\nWhat We Look For\nYou're an exceptional storyteller across formats: You can write a 2,000-word blog post, script a 3-minute video, and draft a billboard headline - and each one lands. You understand that different channels need different approaches, not the same content repurposed lazily.\n\nYou've built content from scratch before: You've owned a content function or built one from the ground up. You know how to go from \"we should do more content\" to a running machine that publishes consistently and drives results.\n\nYou have taste: Your work stands out. You care about the details - the headline, the thumbnail, the pacing, the CTA. You have strong opinions about what good content looks like and you hold yourself to that standard.\n\nYou're a producer, not just a creator: You know how to manage production across formats and deliver on schedule without sacrificing quality.\n\nYou understand B2B and enterprise audiences: You know how to create content that resonates with compliance officers, bank executives, and fintech founders - not just tech Twitter. You can be smart without being inaccessible.\n\nYou're data-informed but not data-paralyzed: You track what works, learn from what doesn't, and use metrics to improve - but you also trust your instincts and don't need a dashboard to tell you a piece is good.\n\nYou're impact-obsessed: You want to see your work move the company forward, every day.\n\nAbout the Interview\nIntro call (fit & motivation)\n\nCase Study (bring examples of your best work)\n\nShort paid in-person trial\n\nOffer\n\nCompensation & Benefits\nLunch, dinner and snacks at the office\n\nComprehensive healthcare\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\nAnnual offsite (last one in Mexico!)\n\nPaid relocation & one-month temporary housing\n\nLatest tech and as many monitors as you can fit on a desk","description_format":"text","description_chars":5435,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["RegTech, AML & Compliance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-08T08:42:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":8,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.293,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":254,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:4","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-04T06:34:25Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":180000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sphinx-head-of-content","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sphinx-head-of-content.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-04T09:18:43Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":14521,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-05T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":703520},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=703520"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsphinx-head-of-content"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsphinx-head-of-content"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsphinx-head-of-content"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sphinx-head-of-content\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsphinx-head-of-content"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":540336}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"sphinxhq.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":540336},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
