Content Specialist (USA)

About Kalepa:

Commercial insurance is a trillion-dollar industry still run out of Microsoft Outlook.

Kalepa is changing that.

Kalepa is an AI Underwriting Platform built to deliver Professional-Grade AI in production - helping the world's most important insurers centralize and prioritize submission data, surface critical risk insights, and make faster, more confident decisions. Customers see meaningful improvements to both speed and portfolio quality as soon as they implement Kalepa - so much so that clients call it “truly an underwriter’s dream.”

Kalepa's team members bring experience from top technology companies, including Facebook, Google, Amazon, Mastercard, and Uber. Kalepa is backed by leading VCs like IA Ventures and Inspired Capital.

Our Values (This is important):

Many organizations have a dusty list of corporate values that no one ever follows. Kalepa is not one of those companies. Our values are designed to unlock the potential of our employees.

Success at Kalepa is bred from five core principles:

• Hustle and Determination - We hire people who take full ownership of their craft and relentlessly pursue excellence with speed and determination. We choose the hard problems and do not give up. This is the foundation of how we work and how we win.
• Deliver Customer Impact - We're obsessed with customer impact. Every feature, every line of code, every decision is measured against one question: does this help insurers make better decisions? If it doesn't drive speed, accuracy, or profitability for our customers, we don't build it.
• Meritocracy - We're building something exceptional, and that requires exceptional people and ideas. We have a high bar but we reward excellence with rapid growth. If you're the best at what you do, you'll thrive here.
• Transparency - We value honest, transparent communication over politics. We challenge ideas, not people. We say what needs to be said, even when it's hard. This is how we solve problems fast and find the truth.
• Experiment Relentlessly - Many of the problems we face have never been solved before. We tackle them by testing quickly, measuring rigorously, and iterating until we find the path forward. Speed of learning is our advantage.

In addition to our NY office, we have remote employees speaking 10+ languages across the globe. But we invest in bringing our people together both for regional meetups and global offsites (2021 - Playa Del Carmen | 2022 - Rome | 2023 - Buenos Aires | 2024 - Lisbon  | 2025 - Cartagena).

Kalepa’s culture isn’t for everyone, and that’s ok. But for the people who are a fit, they can’t imagine working elsewhere.

About the role:

Base Salary: $100-$130K*

We’re looking for a Content Specialist to own and execute Kalepa’s content engine - primarily blog strategy and long-form content, plus LinkedIn thought leadership across key leaders and subject-matter experts (SMEs). This person will take complex AI and commercial insurance concepts and turn them into clear, compelling narratives that educate the market, build trust, and strengthen Kalepa’s credibility as a category leader.

This role will report to and work closely with the Marketing Director. Together, you’ll help grow the marketing function and drive meaningful commercial impact by building a content engine that supports pipeline, strengthens positioning, and enables sales.

You’ll collaborate closely with SMEs and leaders to ghostwrite in their voice, maintaining consistency and high editorial standards across multiple contributors. You should be comfortable using AI as a workflow accelerator for outlining, ideation, research synthesis, editing, and versioning - while applying strong editorial judgment and holding a high bar for quality and accuracy. In this role, you’ll create and optimize content that builds category authority and drives demand, from blog posts and ebooks to LinkedIn copy and web messaging.

You’ll also own how our content performs across both traditional search engines and AI-powered answer engines - ensuring it’s discoverable, trusted, and accurately represented wherever people search and learn.

Key responsibilities:

• Own Kalepa’s blog strategy and editorial calendar, aligned to brand, product, and GTM priorities
• Write, edit, and publish high-quality long-form content including educational posts, industry POV pieces, deep dives, and playbooks
• Write and edit content across formats as needed: landing pages, case studies, one-pagers, newsletters, webinars, product explainers, and sales enablement content
• Own SEO execution and content structure to drive organic growth and improve performance across search engines and AI answer engines (LLM visibility)
• Build and run a LinkedIn thought leadership program, ghostwriting for leaders and SMEs while matching their voice and point of view
• Use AI tools responsibly to accelerate production (ideation, outlining, summaries, editing, versioning), while owning end-to-end quality control
• Track and report on performance (engagement, traffic, rankings, conversion signals, and sales usage) and continuously refine topics, formats, and distribution strategy

You'll be right at home if you:

• Have 4-5 years of professional content experience (B2B preferred; SaaS, fintech, insurance, or technical content strongly preferred)
• Have exceptional writing and editing skills, with a proven ability to simplify complex technical and domain-heavy topics
• Have demonstrated experience writing content that supports SEO outcomes
• Have strong ghostwriting capability and can match tone/voice across different stakeholders
• Have strong editorial instincts: structure, flow, clarity, accuracy, and quality control
• Excellent project management: deadlines, approvals, coordination, content pipeline
• Experience writing data led stories is highly desirable

What you’ll get:

• Competitive salary (based on experience level).
• Significant equity options package.
• 401(k) plan with employer match (regardless of employee contribution)
• Excellent benefits: 100% covered medical, 100% covered vision and dental for individuals and families, and others
• Work with an ambitious, smart, global, and fun team to transform a $1T global industry.
• 20 days of PTO a year
• Global team offsites (2021 - Playa del Carmen, 2022 - Rome, 2023 - Buenos Aires, 2024 - Lisbon, 2025 - Cartagena)
• Healthy living/gym stipend. Mobile phone bill stipend.
• Continuing education credits.
