About the Role

Reporting to the VP of Marketing, the Director of Communications & Content is Agility's editorial and communications leader: editor-in-chief of Bulldog Reporter, owner of our flagship research properties, and head of Agility's own earned media and PR program. This role requires a rare combination — a genuine PR or editorial background paired with real content marketing experience — and both are essential.

Bulldog Reporter is your publication. The mandate is a turnaround: grow the audience from roughly 5,000 active subscribers to 20,000 within 12 months at disciplined acquisition economics, through six established editorial franchise formats. The publication's operating principle is journalism first — credible, useful reporting for PR professionals — with our platform as its instrument. You set and defend the editorial standard, direct the franchise strategy, arbitrate the production queue between editorial and campaign demands, and own the Bulldog Awards program, whose credibility rests on the same editorial integrity as the publication itself.

You own both of our flagship research properties — our primary research on the true cost of manual reporting, and our study of the gap between how brands think they appear in AI-generated answers and how they actually do. Both are built from a single field instrument you will design: survey construction, methodology, analysis, and the reports themselves. You will defend the methodology publicly, because these reports are built to be cited.

You run everything earned. A company that sells PR software must be excellent at its own PR: press outreach, analyst and media relations, industry awards, and executive visibility all belong to you, alongside our thought-leader program.

You will manage the Content Marketing Manager — and help hire them, which is why this role is filled first — and you will collaborate closely with the Associate Director, Demand Generation, since a substantial share of the content organization's output serves demand campaigns.

What Success Looks Like

• Bulldog Reporter grows from approximately 5,000 to 20,000 active subscribers within 12 months, at or below target acquisition cost, with engagement quality holding as the list scales.
• Both flagship research reports ship on schedule with defensible methodology, earning measurable coverage, citations, and derivative content.
• Agility's earned media program is visibly alive: consistent press coverage, working analyst relationships, award wins, and executive visibility for company leadership.
• The editorial standard holds across the publication and the content organization's output — a consistent, recognizable house register without drift.
• The Content Marketing Manager is hired, developed, and productive, with the production queue arbitrated so both editorial and campaign content ship.
• Content performance is reviewed on a regular numbers cadence, and what works is identified, understood, and built upon.
