The Role
Purpose of the role
You will be the primary driver of our execution engine, taking high-level strategies and turning them into live, engaging content across our digital ecosystem. Your mission is to ensure our content helps potential customers discover our brand, learn our value proposition, and move toward conversion. You will maintain the pulse of our brand, ensuring our community, customers, and internal teams stay informed and inspired.
Team
You will join our marketing team in a foundational supporting role and report directly to the Brand and Content Manager, ensuring all marketing initiatives are executed with excellence.
Your top 4 responsibilities
1. Make the content: Write, edit, and polish everything from technical blog posts to one-page sales tools, then be the last set of eyes before anything goes out.
2. Run the channels. Own our newsletter, LinkedIn presence, and nurture campaigns end-to-end: production, scheduling, posting, and follow-through.
3. Show up in the right places: Participate in LinkedIn and Reddit communities where our audience lives, and manage how we're represented on review platforms like G2 and Capterra.
4. Keep everything on track: Maintain the content calendar and make sure campaign assets hit their deadlines.
5. Drive discovery: Optimise content for search and AI engines, track what's landing with our audience, and use that to make the next thing better.
Your Capabilities
As a candidate, you should have:
- Mastery: Strong B2B writing with a solid command of grammar and style. You can shift between technical documentation, email campaigns, and punchy social copy.
- Communication: Equally comfortable working with customers, product, sales, and the leadership team. You can take dense, jargon-heavy content and make it clear and useful.
- Organisation: You keep track of multiple workstreams and deadlines without things slipping.
- Impact: You have a track record in B2B SaaS content and understand how to write things that educate and convert, not just fill a page.
Nice to Have (If you don’t have it now you will after joining):
- Industry Mastery: Experience working within the construction industry, including an understanding of the technical language and unique challenges of the trade.
- Tech Fluency: Familiarity with website CMS platforms (e.g. Webflow), CRM (e.g. HubSpot), and project management tools (e.g. Jira).
- SEO and AEO: You know how to optimise content for search engines and AI answer engines.
-Metrics and Reporting: You're comfortable tracking performance across email, social, and web, using indicators like open rates, engagement, and traffic to identify what's working.
Shape isn’t the place for you if any of the following is true:
- You want an easy, chilled-out role without much challenge
- You like to be the smartest person in the room
- You don’t like continuously receiving honest candid feedback
- You prefer to do your own thing rather than work with a team
At Laminar Projects we value diverse experiences and perspectives, empowering each member to contribute their unique expertise towards our collective success, so if you don't think you meet all the criteria but still are excited about this role we encourage you to apply anyways!

Salary and Benefits
Standard Stuff
- Competitive salary dependent on location and capability
- Paid Annual Leave (Number of days will depend on where you are based) + statutory Bank Holidays
- Private health insurance
- In-House Coaching Sessions
- Discretionary bonus scheme for all team members
The Life-Changing Stuff
- Flexibility: Getting things done is what really matters, not what time of day you do it. That means you don’t have to ask permission for things like picking up your kids or going to the doctor, just keep your team in the loop if you think they will be affected.
- Grow your whole self: Our leaders are more like coaches and one of our main objectives is to give 5 years’ worth of learning and development for every 1 year with us. You have a coach, mentor, well-being therapist and a development-orientated environment: That’s literally what our vision is all about and the primary reason Laminar exists
- Be surrounded by the best: We only hire and retain the very best people. You might be used to being the smartest in the room but that won’t be the case in Laminar. You will be surrounded by people you can learn from. We are 100% meritocratic so fast progression is the norm. You will be supported to excel in whichever areas you are most interested in! With Laminar, development is unbounded
- Long-term impact: We are focused on solving the biggest issues in construction project delivery in a way that can spread and outlast us
