Senior Content Marketing Manager

Coast is re-imagining the trillion-dollar U.S. B2B card payments infrastructure, with a focus on the country's 500,000 commercial fleets, 40 million commercial vehicles, and many million commercial drivers. The incumbent technologies that cater to these customers are decades old, and drivers, fleets, and the merchants that serve them all increasingly demand modern digital experiences and affordable and transparent financial services products. Coast's mission is to deliver them at a transformational scale, and to improve working lives in one of the country's biggest industry sectors. The company is backed by top fintech and mobility venture funds.

The content landscape is evolving rapidly. With lower barriers to production, accelerated trends, and traditional strategies losing their impact, standing out requires authentic, differentiated storytelling. At Coast, we believe great content can build our brand, attract new customers, and deepen relationships with existing ones.

As Senior Content Marketing Manager, you'll be at the forefront of this challenge-experimenting with topics, formats, channels, and distribution strategies to deliver insightful, engaging, and entertaining content that resonates with our audience and drives measurable results. You'll test and iterate on new formats and channels, including audio and video. You'll leverage AI tools and growth tactics to improve content quality, productivity, and impact.

Identify the right themes, perspectives, formats, and channels that will resonate with our audience of finance leaders and fleet managers in the transportation and construction industries.
