About Portless
Portless is reinventing e-commerce logistics by letting brands ship directly from the factory floor in Asia to customers worldwide — no sea freight containers, no months-long cash lock-ups in inventory. Ecommerce brands in apparel, beauty, electronics, and home goods use our platform to offer fast delivery at a cost that rivals traditional 3PLs while we handle everything in-between. Our revenue is growing aggressively and this is a great opportunity to get in early at a high-growth company
Why This Role Matters
As Content Marketing Manager, you will be responsible for building, scaling, optimizing, and continually tracking the success of the content program at Portless. This role is for those looking build a world-class content engine from the ground up that drives meaningful results. We’re looking for someone who’s done it before, and wants to do it again at scale – white papers, blog posts, videos, podcast, social, SEO articles, founder-brand building, newsletters, webinars, and more. You know that content is not just the written word and you understand how to deploy the right message on the right channel for maximum impact.
We’re looking for a natural storyteller with a deep well of creativity. You are brimming with ideas, able to execute quickly, and inclined to optimize. You should be comfortable talking to a savvy Ecommerce audience, and know how to generate attention that cuts through the noise.

- Collaborate with external contributors – partners, freelancers, customers – to contribute to our content program. Leverage the latest technology to assist with content creation, SEO optimization, and data analysis. Partner closely with the SEO team and regularly review scaled content for quality.
