Job description

Orbital Industries is an AI Industrial company, with frontier AI embedded at every step in the production of critical physical products - from creating advanced materials to engineering and manufacturing. Every Orbital Industries product is developed using CurieOS, our AI operating system, uniting AI-automated hardware engineering with AI-designed material science to achieve breakthrough real-world performance. We also offer CurieOS to our customers and partners, extending the same platform and workflows that power Orbital Industries to their own teams and products. We have an ambitious mission and need excellent people in all our teams - AI research, operations, advanced materials, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and manufacturing. Working at Orbital Industries means working in vertically integrated teams across the full stack, from molecules to manufacturing. We're looking for people who have a love of physical technology, curiosity in AI and a desire to learn. We are looking for a Content Manager who knows how to turn complex ideas into commercially effective writing and campaigns.

You'll work closely with GTM, Sales, Product, and Science teams to produce content that resonates with technical audiences, and you'll use data to continuously sharpen what's working. Deep expertise in materials science isn't a prerequisite; intellectual curiosity and the ability to get up to speed quickly on complex topics is. If you're energised by the challenge of making hard things clear, and by the opportunity to build something that genuinely matters, this role is for you. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Content Strategy & Commercial Impact - Own and drive Orbital's content strategy with a clear line of sight to commercial outcomes - pipeline, lead conversion, and revenue acceleration - balancing long-term brand building with short-term GTM needs. - Act as a strategic partner to Sales, identifying gaps in the buyer's journey and building the assets that move prospects forward, from awareness content to technical deal-closers. - Use data and performance insights to measure effectiveness, iterate quickly, and make the case for where to invest next.

Community & Distribution - Build Orbital's presence across key communities - data centre, infrastructure, AI research, chemistry, and engineering. - Develop content that strengthens positioning with technically fluent decision-makers globally. - Pioneer new ways to activate content and grow Orbital's reach. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR - Proven ability to independently devise and execute a content strategy that drives a GTM function. You understand how to use content as a lever for revenue. - Experience working closely with Sales and GTM to identify content gaps in the buyer's journey and address them with high-impact assets. - Outstanding writing and editing skills, with strong long-form examples; proficient in using LLMs and tools to execute efficiently and at scale. - Experience in or an affinity for deep tech, compute, energy, cooling, or industrial technology sectors. - Strong editorial judgment, intellectual curiosity and attention to detail. - A builder mindset with a genuine passion to create a foundational content function from scratch. - Data-driven: you use analytics and performance data to inform decisions, optimise content, and report on impact clearly. - Startup or early-stage company experience is a plus - we move fast, priorities shift, and we're looking for someone who finds that exciting rather than uncomfortable.
