ABOUT DARKROOM

Darkroom is the leading next-generation growth marketing firm engineering the brands of tomorrow. Founded in 2017, we set out to redefine what a modern agency could be, by replacing the inertia of legacy advertising behemoths with a model built for speed, intelligence, and measurable impact.

At our core, Darkroom is a human services company powered by Shadow, a universal AI commerce layer that integrates executive-level strategy with proprietary agentic technology. This fusion enables our teams to deliver outsized returns by enhancing creative output, operational efficiency, and revenue generation across every stage of the customer journey.

Our track record speaks for itself: billions in attributable revenue driven across e-commerce marketplaces, media networks, DTC ecosystems, and social commerce platforms. Every engagement feeds into our proprietary data infrastructure, enabling a continuous feedback loop that accelerates growth, improves margins, and compounds results across our client portfolio.

What began as a boutique design studio has evolved into one of the fastest-growing private companies in America (Inc. 5000) and among the most effective performance media agencies of the 2020s (Varos). Our founders were recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30 for advancing the intersection of technology, marketing, and advertising, cementing Darkroom’s role as a defining player in the future of media innovation.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We're looking for an X writer to run our executive content program for two brands: Darkroom, our growth marketing agency, and Shadow, our AI commerce platform. Ad Age recently described us as "if Omnicom was rebuilt on AI." Our buyers, founders and operators, follow the conversation on X first, and our executives reach more of them than any company page. X is the main channel for this role. You'll also adapt the best of it for LinkedIn, where the same buyers make considered decisions.

You make our executives sound like themselves, consistently, every week. You interview them, write for them, plan what each of them posts, and edit until it reads like a person, not a brand. Team members who want to post get your help too.

This is a hybrid role based in New York City, hiring in the US only, or remote in New Jersey, Florida, or Texas. Working with a team in the EST Time Zone, and all business is conducted 100% in English.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

  • The Executive Content Program: Run it day to day across our executive team, so every account has a clear voice, a plan and a steady rhythm.
  • Voice Interviews: Recorded interviews with executives that become posts close to their own words.
  • Context Files: A living file for every executive: voice, expertise, stories and the lines they won't cross, built from calls, talks and interviews.
  • Ghostwriting: Ideas, drafts, edits and approvals for executive posts and threads on X, end to end, plus the LinkedIn versions.
  • The Executive Calendar: One calendar across a

We believe in autonomy with accountability, truth over comfort, and outcomes over optics.

  • Unlimited PTO + US holidays: Rebooting is part of the work. Take the time you need to stay sharp.

  • Health & Wellness: Company-sponsored medical, dental, and vision coverage.
  • Finances, growth, and retirement: Darkroom offers a robust 401(k) program with company match and profit-sharing opportunities to help you save and grow as the company grows.
  • Parental Leave: Flexible parental leave to support new parents during this important transition.
  • Growth: Our interdisciplinary model gives every Darkroomer exposure far beyond their core role. Grow your skills, expand your influence, and stay at the forefront of the industry.
  • Compensation: The base salary range for this role is $100,000-$130,000 per year. This range represents the anticipated minimum and maximum for this position and applies to candidates based in the United States, in compliance with the Pay Transparency Law and the New York City Salary Transparency Law. Actual compensation within this range will be determined based on experience, skills, and qualifications.
