Content Lead

About ownpath

ownpath develops people and platforms, to drive thoughtful design and create meaningful impact.

We have three aspects to the business:

Studios works with startups and enterprises like Hero MotoCorp and Philips on complex design and technology problems.

Labs builds our own products, tools, and experiments.

Academy helps people become better designers and builders.

We're looking for someone to lead content for client engagements at Studios.

The Role

We believe most companies have more interesting stories than they know how to tell. Your job is to find them.

You'll work with founders, executives, designers, engineers, and subject-matter experts. You'll ask good questions, understand the business, find the signal in the noise, and turn it into clear, compelling work.

That could mean a website one week, a product launch the next, followed by a founder narrative, campaign, case study, or editorial series.

You'll lead projects from the first conversation to the final word.

This is not a role for someone who just wants briefs to write against. We want someone who can help figure out what should be said in the first place.

What You'll Do

• Lead content, define strategy, and ensure top notch execution for ownpath's client projects.
• Interview founders, leaders, customers, designers, and engineers to identify the signals amid the noise
• Develop narratives, messaging, tone of voice, and content strategy.
• Write websites, launches, campaigns, case studies, presentations, articles, and social content.
• Work closely with designers to make words and visuals feel like one idea.
• Present work to clients and articulate the thinking behind it.
• Build systems and AI-assisted workflows that make our work faster and better.
• Occasionally turn the lens inward and help tell ownpath's own stories.

You Might Be Good At This If

• You ask unusually good questions.
• You can make complicated things feel simple without making them stupid.
• You care about rhythm, structure, language, and ideas.
• You're curious about business, technology, design, science, culture, and people.
• You can enter a subject you know nothing about and become dangerously knowledgable fairly quickly.
• You enjoy working with designers.
• You know good writing starts with good thinking.
• You care about the details, but know when to ship.

You probably have 4+ years of experience in content, editorial, journalism, brand, advertising, communications, or a similarly corner of the creative world. We care considerably more about your work than your job titles.

What Good Looks Like

The work should make people understand something they didn't understand before.

For clients, that might mean a sharper story, a better launch, a clearer product, a stronger brand, or more people paying attention.

For ownpath, it means clients trust us with harder problems because of the quality of our thinking and execution.

We don't want to produce more content. We want to produce things worth reading.

Why ownpath

• You'll work with interesting companies on problems that rarely arrive neatly packaged.
• You'll work alongside designers, engineers, and builders who care about their craft.
• You'll have room to experiment with AI, new formats, new tools, and new ways of working.
• And you'll help us build a content practice from the beginning, rather than inherit one designed by committee.

How to Apply

Send us:

• Work you're proud of.
• A short note telling us why this sounds interesting.

Writing, websites, campaigns, films, interviews, newsletters, presentations, strange internet projects. We're not too precious about the format.

Show us how you think. That's the part we're interested in.
