Senior Content Specialist

New York (Hybrid)

Marketing

​Shield is a global startup, with offices in TLV, NYC, LDN, and LIS. 

We’re rapidly growing and looking for another important piece of the puzzle. 

Is it you? 

Our marketing team is built differently: we lead with creativity, storytelling, and a clear mission to make compliance impossible to ignore.​

We’re looking for a Senior Content Specialist who can create scroll-stopping content, transform subject matter expertise into storytelling, and support big brand moments that drive market awareness and engagement.​

What You’ll Do

Content Creation & Editorial Leadership

  • Write compelling content across formats: blogs, eBooks, long-form thought leadership, social posts, newsletters, and video scripts.​
  • Translate technical input (webinars, SME interviews, panel discussions) into engaging narratives.​
  • Translate product messaging and messaging bibles into external-facing content that connects with prospects and supports sales enablement.​
  • Maintain our editorial calendar and work closely with stakeholders to ensure alignment across all teams.​

Content Repurposing & Distribution

  • Repurpose high-impact content into modular assets: carousels, infographics, landing pages, and social series.​
  • Draft and distribute content across Shield’s owned channels, working with Demand Gen and Marketing Ops to ensure performance is tracked.​

Social Media & Voice Development

  • Craft creative social copy that brings Shield’s voice to life on LinkedIn and other emerging channels.​
  • Support employee amplification by preparing content templates and story-driven snippets for internal programs like Voices of Shield.​

PR & Awards Writing

  • Draft press releases and awards submissions in partnership with the Global Brand & Comms Lead.​
  • Build media-friendly messaging and human-centered headlines for recognition moments.​

Freelancer Management

  • Manage freelance writers and editors to ensure delivery speed, quality, and tone consistency.​
  • Provide briefs, creative direction, and feedback for outsourced projects as needed.​


Experience and Skills:

  • A bold, creative writer with 5+ years of experience in content marketing or editorial roles.​
  • Strong portfolio across formats (blog, long-form, social, ghostwriting).​
  • You can ghostwrite for execs or SMEs and make it feel real — not robotic.​
  • You’re fluent in translating complexity into clarity.​
  • You love bringing structure to chaos and thrive in fast-paced, high-ownership environments.​
  • Experience with RegTech, FinTech, or B2B SaaS a plus — but voice and clarity matter more than industry experience.​
  • Bonus: you’re social-media fluent, understand visual storytelling, and know what works on LinkedIn.​

Why Join Shield?

  • You’ll shape how the world sees a company transforming a $150B industry.​
  • You’ll work with a marketing team that believes creative storytelling should drive pipeline.​
  • You’ll get real ownership — no silos, no fluff, and no “just publish and move on.”​
  • You’ll make content that gets seen, shared, and remembered.​
