Finance Content & Storytelling Lead

• Explain how Pilot’s AI + human experts take the weight of the financial back office off founders' shoulders.
• Break down bookkeeping, cash flow, margins, and growth concepts in ways that feel human, useful, and non-intimidating.
• Use content to move founders from “my books are a mess and I don’t want to think about them” to “Pilot has my back office handled so I can focus on growing.”
• Design parallel content journeys for bookkeeping firms and ecosystem partners, from “why would I work with Pilot?” to “this makes me more effective at serving my community/clients.”

• Script and record social-first short videos that simplify financial topics and showcase real stories.
• Build outlines for panels and live discussions that make experts shine and produce reusable content.
• Write explainers, guides, and playbooks on SMB finance topics based on real-world problems customers face.
• Create simple storyboards and content series that help founders and bookkeeping firms learn in repeatable, bingeable formats.

• Turn Zoom calls with experts, customer stories, and partner insights into scripts, outlines, and drafts.
• Repurpose a single conversation or panel into multiple assets (clips, explainers, templates, partner resources).
• Use AI tools to brainstorm, structure ideas, and iterate quickly—while keeping your strong human voice.

• Interview Pilot’s bookkeepers, controllers, CFOs, and customer-facing teams.
• Pull insights from partners like CDFIs, SBDCs, and trade associations about what local businesses struggle with.
• Turn real conversations into content that feels grounded, helpful, and authentic.

• Test hooks, formats, visuals, and topics to see what resonates with founders and firms.
• Track simple performance metrics like engagement, watch time, and content-influenced leads.
• Adjust your content strategy based on what’s actually helping people.

• Senior, collaborative teammates – You’ll work with experienced demand gen, social media, product marketing, partner/local programs, and ops folks who know their craft and respect yours. You bring the stories and creative formats; they bring distribution, data, and GTM alignment.
• Tight partnership with leadership – You’ll be close to decisions and able to see your work turn into real programs quickly, not stuck in layers of approvals.
• Room to experiment – The team values testing and learning. You’ll have space to try new formats, angles, and ideas as long as we’re learning and getting sharper each time.
• Access to rich raw material – 3,000+ customers, deep finance expertise in-house, and a growing partner ecosystem mean you’ll never be short on stories, data points, or real-world examples.
• Mission that actually matters – You’ll help make high-quality financial operations accessible to the kinds of businesses that usually get left behind through content that genuinely helps them.

• You have a strong portfolio of work that shows you can explain complex topics in a clear, engaging way.
• You might be a former bookkeeper/accountant/operator, a social media creator, a writer/educator, or something in between.
• You’re excited by the idea of living in the bookkeeping / SMB finance / small business ecosystem and turning that world into content that founders, bookkeeping firms, and partner organizations actually want to watch and read.
• You’re comfortable being both the thinker and the doer. You like owning the idea and making the thing.
• You’re scrappy: you enjoy figuring out how to make a lot with a little, using AI, systems, and creativity more than large budgets.
• You’re curious about AI tools and already use them (or want to use them) to move faster and be more creative.
• You care that your work helps real people: founders, small business owners, bookkeeping firms, and the ecosystems that support them to get to better outcomes.
