Expertise loses to volume, and the people actually running their companies get drowned out by people describing them from the outside.\nWorkweek is the opposite. We're the home for the practitioner creator, the operator who writes about the work while still doing it. That's why our readers trust what lands in their inbox. Today we have five networks covering healthcare, fintech, HR, marketing, and e-commerce, and more are coming.\nThat trust is what the rest of the business runs on. On the advertising side, a marketer hands us their target account list and we show them our coverage of it before they spend a dollar, then the engagement after. On the community side, we run professional memberships where leaders get peers worth knowing, a content library worth using, and tools that make their day-to-day easier.\nWe're five years in and just getting started.\nAbout the role:\nWe are looking for a Director of Narrative & Brand to be the “soul” to the growth function.\nAt Workweek, our brand isn't a style guide or a logo. It’s the collective authority of our communities. Your mission is to ensure our networks in HR, Healthcare, Marketing, Ecom, Fintech, and beyond are recognized as the undisputed \"must-reads\" of their industries.\nYou have exquisite taste and an innate ability to know what copy, design or ideas will work and resonate with each of our communities.\nYou are a master storyteller who finds as much joy in the execution as you do in the strategy. You are the rare individual who can architect a 12-month brand vision with our CEO in the morning and jump into a CMS to polish a high-stakes launch email in the afternoon.\nThis is a high-floor, high-ceiling role. You will oversee our social and creative teams, but you are a \"player-coach\" at heart. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our Product, Content, and Growth leads to ensure that every touchpoint whether it’s digital, social, or IRL. We want all these to feel like a cohesive, elite Workweek experience. You’ll report to the VP of Marketing.\nYou’ll be enabled by AI, but not reliant on it. You know how to use it to get more done, but not in a way where final products feel produced by AI.\nNote: All Workweek employees may work remotely, all work must be done in English and availability to meet during the Central Time Zone workday is required.\nWhat you'll do:\nLead with Taste: Oversee our social and creative teams, providing the strategic \"vibe-check\" and creative direction needed to turn our channels into high-value community hubs.\n\nArchitect Authority: Build the narrative frameworks that turn our individual communities into the authoritative \"North Star\" brands for their specific industries.\n\nGalvanize Major Moments: Turn product launches, industry shifts, and network milestones into massive marketing events that dominate the conversation across social, creative assets, and IRL activations.\n\nOperate with No Ego: Whether it’s writing a high-stakes launch email, pulling a performance report, or crafting a social post, you step in wherever the narrative needs you. You know that no task is too small when the goal is excellence.\n\nBridge the Network: Work daily with our Product and Content leads to ensure our narrative isn't just \"marketing\", it's baked into the actual product and editorial experience.\n\nStrategic Alchemy: Partner with the VP, Marketing to ensure brand efforts fuel growth without turning our communities into conversion-focused factories.\n\nThe Workweek Playbook: Build the operational systems for storytelling that allow us to move at startup speed without losing our soul or our standards.\n\nLive the Brand: Be a high-signal member of Marketingland, our own community for marketers. You don’t just market to them; you are a peer among them.\n\nQualifications:\n6 to 8+ years in brand, social, or creative strategy, with a record of building authority for niche communities or media brands.\n\nWriting you would defend: You can write a brand manifesto people forward to a colleague and a marketing email people actually open. Both matter, and most candidates can only do one.\n\nWorking fluency with AI: You use these tools daily, you have specific opinions about where they help and where they produce garbage, and you can teach a team to use them without the output sounding like everything else on the internet.\n\nEditorial conviction: You take ideas from anywhere, and you can reject most of them and explain why in one sentence.\n\nA player-coach: You have managed teams and you still want to write the copy yourself.\n\nFluency across formats: You can carry a voice from a 280-character post to an event setup to a piece of premium swag.\n\nReal collaboration: You lead through influence across Product, Sales, and Content, and people enjoy working with you.\n\nComfort with ambiguity: You start things without waiting for permission.\n\nBenefits:\nCompetitive pay (we don't pay based on location, we assign value to the role)\n\nEquity in Workweek\n\nRemote operations with the ability to work in the time zone of your choice (or work IRL in our Austin, TX office)\n\nUnlimited PTO with a minimum of 3 days/quarter used\n\n100% health insurance coverage, 75% coverage for dependents, and $150/month towards an HSA (or $150/month health stipend if insurance not used)\n\n120 days of parental leave to use within one year of childbirth (available 12 months after your start date and only available every 365 days)\n\n401(k) plan with 3.5% company match\n\n$500 one-time stipend for any home office needs used after the first 90 days\n\n5-week sabbatical after 4 years on staff\n\n2 volunteering days per year\n\n1x/year in-person team retreat\n\n$100/month book stipend\n\nNote: At Workweek, we’re passionate about building a diverse team. We care deeply about diversity, equality, and inclusion and strive to build a culture where everyone, from any background, feels included, supported, and free to be themselves.\nIf your experience is thisclose to what we’re looking for, please consider applying. Experience comes in many forms - skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way. We know that diversity makes for the best problem-solving and creative thinking, which is why we’re dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team and encourage everyone to apply\n*At this time we do not offer visa sponsorship or assistance.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6618,"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":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity","Health insurance","Home office","Insurance coverage","Parental leave","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Digital Media"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-22T01:23:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":42,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.768,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":30,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/workweek-director-narrative-brand","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/workweek-director-narrative-brand.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T02:34:00Z","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":2044,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"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":184295},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=184295"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fworkweek-director-narrative-brand"},{"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%2Fworkweek-director-narrative-brand"},{"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%2Fworkweek-director-narrative-brand"},{"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/workweek-director-narrative-brand\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fworkweek-director-narrative-brand"}]}
