Turn Lab Know-How into Content Scientists Actually Use
Why This Role Matters Scientists search before they buy. When a researcher is troubleshooting a sample prep method or comparing supplies, the company with the clearest answer earns their trust, and often their order. In this role, you’ll make sure that company is Filtrous. You’ll turn our team’s technical knowledge into blog posts, application notes, guides, emails, and social content that help scientists do better work. Your writing shapes how labs discover Filtrous and why they come back.
What You’ll Do
- Write Content Scientists Actually Use: Research, write, and publish blog posts, how-to guides, and technique explainers on topics like LC-MS sample prep and QuEChERS. Make complex methods clear without dumbing them down.
- Turn Lab Expertise into Application Notes: Work with our scientists to turn experimental data and bench experience into application notes, case studies, and product guides that Sales and Customer Success can put to work.
- Run the Content Calendar: Plan and maintain a rolling 90-day content calendar tied to product launches, campaigns, and search opportunities. Keep every piece moving from brief to review to publication on schedule.
- Grow Organic Reach: Do the keyword research and on-page SEO for everything you publish, link content to relevant products, and refresh older posts so Filtrous keeps showing up in search and AI-generated answers.
- Get Every Piece in Front of Scientists: Repurpose your content into email newsletters, LinkedIn posts, and other social content so each article reaches labs well beyond the blog.
- Protect Accuracy and Brand Voice: Fact-check technical claims, cite sources, and get scientific review before anything goes live. Keep our voice consistent across every channel.
- Measure What Works: Track traffic, rankings, engagement, and conversions. Report results each month and use them to decide what to write next.
Problems You Will Solve
- Too few scientists find us online: Without a steady flow of helpful content, Filtrous misses the searches scientists run when they’re choosing methods and supplies, so new labs don’t discover us on their own.
- Lab expertise stays in the lab: Our scientists know how to solve real bench problems, but they rarely have time to write it up, so that knowledge doesn’t reach the customers who need it.
- Content comes in bursts: One-off efforts mean publishing depends on whoever has time that week, leaving no steady rhythm for readers or search engines to rely on.
- Sales conversations start from scratch: Without ready-to-share guides and application notes, Sales and Customer Success answer the same technical questions from zero each time.
- No clear line from content to revenue: When nobody tracks what a post does after it goes live, it’s impossible to tell which topics bring in buyers and which ones just take up time.
How Success is Measured
- 4+ SEO-optimized blog posts published per month
- 2+ application notes, case studies, or technical guides published per quarter
- Rolling 90-day content calendar kept current, with 90%+ of planned pieces published on time
- Organic blog traffic and keyword rankings growing quarter over quarter
- Every technical piece reviewed by a subject matter expert before publishing
- Monthly content performance report delivered, tying topics to traffic, leads, and orders
Why You’ll Love It Here At Filtrous, your work won’t get lost in a large marketing department. You’ll have real ownership of what we publish and how we say it, at a company that moves at startup speed. You’ll work directly with our scientists, Sales, and Customer Success, and you’ll see the impact of your work in traffic, engagement, and orders. If you love learning how things work and explaining them clearly, this role lets you do both every day.
