The posting
Description Clearstory is looking for a Senior Construction Content Strategist to be the credible, senior industry voice of our marketing organization. This is a landing spot for someone who has already spent a decade leading on the field and back-office side of construction, and who is ready to use that hard-earned expertise to shape how an entire industry thinks and talks about change order communication.
Your project experience becomes your platform: you'll set the point of view behind Clearstory's marketing, ensure everything we put into the world sounds like it was written by someone who's actually been on a jobsite, and lead that vision with a small content team and production support built around you.
What You'll Do Industry Voice & Content Direction
- Serve as the senior industry authority for all Clearstory marketing — review, validate, and fact-check content across the org, with real authority to send it back if it doesn't ring true
- Set the point of view and topics for high-impact content (video, ROI breakdowns, webinars, written guides), partnering with a dedicated content/production team rather than producing solo
- Appear on camera and host webinars/live sessions as the face of Clearstory's industry credibility — production, editing, and scheduling support provided
- Ideate and pitch content grounded in real jobsite and back-office pain points, at the level of someone who has done it
- Responsible for creating product launch content and shaping the value and real world impact of any new feature coming to market.
Brand & Industry Presence
- Build Clearstory's credibility with GC and specialty contractor audiences by drawing on your own standing and network in the industry (associations, boards, peer groups)
- Represent Clearstory at trade associations, conferences, and industry events as a recognized peer, not a vendor rep
- Grow a public voice (LinkedIn and industry channels) that reflects both your own reputation and Clearstory's point of view — existing following a plus, not required, since your credibility is built on career track record, not follower count
Cross-Functional Influence
- Act as the internal subject matter expert across Marketing, Sales, Product, and Customer Success — the person every team checks with before something goes external
- Partner with GTM leadership to align content with campaign priorities, product launches, and sales initiatives
- Contribute directly to sales enablement: customer stories, objection-handling guides, and field-facing materials, drawing on real construction experience
- Help build the underlying system — content playbooks, review processes, training for the broader content team — so this function scales beyond one person
Requirements
- 8–10+ years of hands-on experience in construction operations — project management, superintendent, or precon/business development — on the GC or subcontractor side, ideally at a top-tier GC
- Track record of influence beyond your own projects: training curriculum development, peer group or business-unit leadership, mentoring, or process/standards work across multiple teams
- A real, earned reputation in the local/regional construction community — board seats, association leadership, mentoring programs
- Deep fluency in change order management, project financials, and GC/sub dynamics, built from years of direct negotiation and closeout experience, not just observation
- Comfort on camera and a natural ability to communicate complex topics in plain, direct language
- Self-starter who can direct content and ideate without hand-holding — production and editing support will be provided, but the point of view has to be yours
Strong plus if you have:
- An existing LinkedIn following or informal content presence in the construction space
- Experience hosting webinars, podcasts, or panel/speaking engagements
- Familiarity with SaaS tools or construction technology products
- Experience training, coaching, or onboarding teams at scale
- Experience using AI content creation tools to produce videos and collateral
About You You've spent enough time in the field and the back office to know what actually matters to a PM, an estimator, or an owner trying to close out a job — and you've already proven you can move a whole team's thinking, not just your own site. You're not chasing your next project; you're ready to turn a decade of earned credibility into influence over how an entire industry — and a fast-growing company — talks about the work.
The Company You'll Join

The Opportunity

- Build a body of work — and a team/process around you — that reflects a decade-plus of earned expertise
- Have a clear path to a broader industry strategy or GTM leadership role as Clearstory scales
