Job description

About Cantina:

Cantina is a new social platform founded by Sean Parker with the most advanced AI character creator. Our bots are lifelike, social creatures that can interact wherever people are online—across voice, video, and text. Create yourself, imagine someone new, or choose from thousands of characters to share infinitely scalable, personalized content and seamless group chat.

If you’re excited about how AI can shape creativity and social interaction, come help us build what’s next.

About the Role:

Cantina is looking for a Manager Editor to lead our outbound messaging across content, marketing, and thought leadership to drive user growth, creator adoption, partnerships, recruiting, and fundraising. You’ll own the long-term strategy and day-to-day execution of our content marketing machine, working closely with executives, comms leadership, and our community team.


What You’ll Do:

  • Oversee all outbound copywriting across long-form, social, paid, and executive thought leadership.

  • Hire, train, and manage Cantina’s editorial team across consumer growth, creator growth, and Labs recruiting.

  • Collaborate with executives and comms leadership to build and maintain key marketing messaging.

  • Develop brand voices for Cantina’s core social accounts, Labs account, and executives.

  • Populate and execute the content calendar across all channels.

  • Help Cantina develop its own thriving, platform-native new media property.

  • Learn and apply the latest editorial GTM strategies to beat the algorithms and win attention.

  • Coordinate content amplification campaigns in collaboration with our community team.

  • Seize on narrative opportunities that arise out of news, trends, and X debate.

What You’ll Bring:

  • Experience managing a multi-person creative or content marketing team.

  • Exceptional persuasive writing skills for capturing attention.

  • A fast-shipping, non-perfectionist, experimental mindset: you’d rather post five times today and learn what works than spend a week polishing one announcement.

  • High taste as a curator, with the ability to quickly sort good content from bad and give clear, direct feedback.

  • A voracious appetite for learning the latest channels, algorithmic hacks, and content strategies.

  • A data-driven approach, using metrics to iterate on content strategy.

  • Chronically online instincts for spotting opportunities for rapid messaging.

Bonus Points For:

  • Hands-on experience running and everinternal amplification communities.

  • Previously a managing editor of a modern media outlet.

  • Former mid-to-late stage consumer content marketing team leader.

  • A track record founding and growing a solo new media property.

 

Compensation:

The anticipated annual base salary range for this role is between $230,000-$380,000. When determining compensation, a number of factors will be considered, including skills, experience, job scope, location, and competitive compensation market data.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary and generous company equity

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance – 99.99% of premiums covered by Cantina

  • 42 days of paid time off, including:

    • 15 PTO days

    • 10 sick days

    • 15 company holidays

    • 2 floating holidays

  • Generous parental leave & fertility support

  • 401(k) retirement savings plan

  • Lifestyle spending account – $500/month to use however you’d like

  • Complimentary lunch and snacks for in-office employees

  • One Medical membership, and more!
