What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a content marketing role where I can lead research-backed long-form strategy, optimize for AI-driven SEO (AI Overviews/snippets), and collaborate cross-functionally to create thought leadership that educates and converts.

I’m a results-driven Content Marketer & SEO Strategist with nearly 4 years of experience creating long-form, research-backed content that educates, engages, and converts. I write thought-leadership articles and in-depth blog posts tailored for C-suite executives and senior professionals across SaaS, Healthcare IT, Cybersecurity, and Cloud Services.

I’m known for turning complex ideas into actionable narratives through primary research and SME interviews. I build detailed content outlines before drafting to ensure strategic alignment, logical flow, and audience-appropriate depth for every asset.

I leverage AI tools including ChatGPT for research, ideation, and drafting, and I optimize content for AI-driven search environments like Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, and emerging AI portals. I also run keyword research and competitor analysis to identify content gaps and high-ranking opportunities, improving organic visibility through metadata, headers, and structure.

With a strong ownership mindset, sharp attention to detail, and passion for storytelling, I manage content calendars, brand guidelines, and multi-team workflows across SEO, UX, product, and sales. I bring consistent, on-deadline delivery while maintaining rigorous proofreading and editorial standards.
