Jobs: Content Marketing Manager

We’re seeking a full-time, remote Content Marketing Manager for our company.

Baymard Institute conducts large-scale UX research studies, sharing our findings through a bespoke B2B SaaS platform that serves 2,000+ retailer stores, brands, and agencies across 80+ countries — including 71% of Fortune 500 ecommerce companies. We’re fully distributed, with ~60 team members spanning America and Europe, all committed to advancing ecommerce UX.

About The Role

As Baymard’s Content Marketing Manager, you’ll own the stories that connect our research, tools, and product roadmap to the people who use them. Your core focus will be turning complex UX and product insights into clear, compelling narratives that drive qualified demand, product activation, and long-term trust.

You’ll plan and produce content across key formats — long-form articles, landing pages, email, and thought leadership — with SEO as a core distribution lever, not the sole objective. Working closely with Growth, Product, and Research, you’ll help shape our editorial strategy, structure content around real user problems, and ensure that every piece has a clear job in the funnel.

This role is a good fit if you’re as comfortable digging into product behavior and user journeys as you are crafting a sharp headline. You’ll balance search strategy, storytelling, and product understanding to create content that both ranks and resonates.

Who You Are

You’re first and foremost an exceptional copywriter and storyteller. You know how to make complex topics feel accessible, concrete, and useful — without slipping into generic SaaS jargon.

You bring hands-on experience from a SaaS environment, ideally in a product-led or self-serve context, and you think naturally in terms of user value, time-to-value, and feature adoption. When you write, you’re not just filling a content calendar; you’re helping users understand what the product does, why it matters, and how to get value from it.

You’re confident working with SEO fundamentals — search intent, topic clusters, internal linking, and on-page structure — but you don’t treat SEO as a checklist. You’re comfortable collaborating with growth and product teams, responding to data and user signals, and iterating based on what actually moves the needle.

You may also enjoy experimenting with new formats (video, short-form social, digital PR angles) and thinking about how one core story can live across multiple channels — from the blog, to the product, to lifecycle email.

What You’ll Need

• 3+ years of experience in content marketing or copywriting for B2B SaaS (ideally product-led or self-serve).
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex products or research into clear, engaging narratives.
• Strong understanding of SEO basics (search intent, keyword research, content structure, internal linking) and how content can compound over time.
• Experience creating content across the funnel: from educational and problem-focused pieces to product and conversion-focused assets.
• Proven ability to collaborate with Product, Growth/Marketing, and Sales to shape content that supports both user and business goals.
• Comfortable using analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, HubSpot, search tools) to inform topics, measure performance, and refine strategy.
• Fully proficient in written and spoken English.

Nice-To-Haves

• Experience with digital PR or earning coverage/backlinks through research or content.
• Comfortable with video storyboarding (e.g., product explainers, educational videos, YouTube scripts).
• Experience creating short-form content for social channels (e.g., LinkedIn, X) from core long-form pieces.
• Familiarity with email and lifecycle communications (onboarding flows, activation nudges, product education, and light-touch nurture).
• Background in ecommerce, UX research, or related product/experience-led domains.

Practical Details

• Location: 100% remote, full-time position, from EU, UK, or IE. (Be mindful that the role requires daily overlap with team members European time zones.)
• Language: We expect you to be fully proficient in written and spoken English.
• Salary: Based on qualifications.
• Start date: As soon as possible.
• Travel: Is limited; expect only 1-2 weeks of travel each year (often only in connection with the company-wide meetup).
• Company: Learn more about Baymard’s work culture and values here, or by reading the “Key Work Values” section at the end of this page.

Key Work Values at Baymard

The following work values are central to us at Baymard and hopefully gives you an idea of our culture and what working at Baymard is like:

• Flat organization – Baymard is a small organization of just ~60 people. This means zero management layers between you and the final decision. You’ll have direct access to and impact on decision making.
• Lots of responsibility – From day 1 (OK, maybe day 2), you will be working on final products or services. We believe the best way to learn is to work on actual products and challenges, supplemented with rich early feedback.
• Long-term focus – Decisions are always based on their long term impact. We’re not interested in hunting after the next “quick win” — we want to make a lasting impact on the e-commerce industry and usually adopt a 5-year perspective in our decisions and projects.
• Remote from the ground up – 100% of the team works remotely. We’ve deliberately designed the organization around remote work. That said, we do bring the entire team together for a week once a year somewhere interesting in the world.
• Team of ‘subject matter’ nerds – Everyone geeks out a bit on their work interests. We love that, and once a week someone from the team gets the opportunity to do a 20-minute presentation on their latest obsession — whether it’s quasi-quantum-worlds, critical thinking, or the proper usage of hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes.
• Founders engaged in the product – We believe it is essential that those orchestrating the work of the organization are keenly in tune with all aspects of it. The two founders of Baymard have therefore performed every type of task in the organization themselves (from programming to UX testing), and continue to work directly on the product.
• Flexible hours – Beyond ensuring availability for meetings and a few hours of daily overlap with your colleagues, you are largely free to plan your own workweek. E.g., we have some that take a 2-hour break midday and then instead work in the evening, or only work half a Tuesday and then always work half a Saturday.
• Room for growth – We believe that everyone should be able to grow in their job — both as a professional and as a person. Therefore, each member of the team gets a clear, step-by-step overview of their progress, internal masterclasses, team summits, and more.
