Product & Content Marketing Specialist at Balco, Inc.
United States
<p><strong>Job Overview:</strong></p> <p>We're looking for a Product & Content Marketing Specialist/Strategist to support the messaging and content engine behind RectorSeal's product launches and campaigns. You'll work closely with an Associate Product Marketing Manager and the Brand & Content Marketing team, helping translate technical product information into contractor-relevant messaging and helping produce the content that gets that message to market.</p> <p>This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone early in their product and content marketing career who wants to build real strategic skill. You'll contribute to messaging frameworks under guidance and take ownership of day-to-day content production, with an experienced marketer reviewing your strategic work and coaching you toward greater autonomy over time.</p> <p>You'll also be a regular AI content operator — using AI tools daily to draft and iterate quickly, then applying editorial judgment and feedback from your manager to make sure output is right for a trades audience.</p> <p><strong>Travel:</strong> This role is fully remote with occasional travel required — estimated 2–4 trips annually for team alignment, trade shows, or launch-related travel as needed.</p> <p><strong>Job Responsibilities: </strong></p> <p><strong>Messaging & Positioning — Supporting the Factory Floor</strong></p> <ul> <li>Support development of

<li>Edit and elevate AI-generated content, applying feedback from senior team members and QA'ing against brand and trade-audience standards</li> <li>Support briefing of creative and design resources with messaging inputs provided by your manager</li> </ul> <p><strong>Sales Enablement Support</strong></p> <ul> <li>Help maintain the sales enablement asset library — tracking what exists, what's current, and what needs refresh</li> <li>Support delivery of complete enablement packages for launches, ensuring assets are ready before market availability</li> </ul> <p><strong>Go-to-Market & Launch
