Lambda is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers, from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. As Head of Content, you will own the entire content function—strategy, production, quality, and team building—to establish Lambda as a trusted voice in the AI infrastructure space. You will develop and execute a comprehensive content strategy that maps to the full buyer journey, from awareness through retention, aligned with Lambda's growth and product goals. You'll set rigorous quality standards, establish production workflows that leverage AI without compromising excellence, and own discovery through SEO and generative engine optimization. Your work will include building executive thought leadership, partnering on product launches, and measuring content impact on traffic, engagement, and pipeline influence. The role requires deep technical fluency in AI and ML—you should follow model releases, understand infrastructure concepts like memory bandwidth, and know when technical claims are load-bearing. You'll lead a growing content team, hiring and developing talent while balancing strategic planning with hands-on execution. You'll work cross-functionally with product marketing, engineers, designers, and growth teams to synthesize a coherent editorial vision. You have a track record leading a content function (not just managing a calendar), with demonstrated ability to ship content and attribute results. You think in systems, designing content architectures where pieces work together strategically. You excel at cross-functional leadership and are rigorous about measurement—defining success metrics and acting on insights. Nice-to-have experience includes writing or editing for ML practitioners, building AI-assisted production workflows, and growing organic/generative search visibility in the AI space. Lambda was founded in 2012 with 500+ employees and is backed by notable investors including NVIDIA, Andrej Karpathy, ARK Invest, and In-Q-Tel. The company offers generous cash and equity compensation, comprehensive health coverage, wellness stipends, and flexible PTO. The role is based in the San Francisco office (Second St) with a hybrid schedule: 4 days in-office, 1 day remote (Tuesday).
