All four roles

Scribe

The storyteller who finds the truth AI can't invent.

The Scribe owns story, signal, and research. You're the investigative journalist of the go-to-market team: you uncover the primary truth — the unspoken customer phrase, the original data point — and turn it into content the market can't get anywhere else. AI can rearrange words it has already seen; it can't conduct the interview or find the angle no one has published yet. That's you.

What you’d do

  • Interview customers and prospects to surface the exact language that moves deals
  • Run primary research and own analyst & influencer relationships
  • Build and maintain the narrative canon — point of view, messaging, objection language
  • Ship anchor content competitors can't replicate because it rests on truth you sourced
  • Set the editorial standard the rest of the team writes to

How it’s different from a traditional seat

You're not feeding a content calendar with AI filler. AI handles secondary research and first drafts; your value is the primary signal only a human can gather and the point of view only a human can take.

Where you might come from

Content marketers, brand journalists, product marketers, PR/analyst-relations pros, and writers who've always cared more about the angle than the word count.

You might be a fit if…

  • You'd rather get one quote that reframes the category than write ten blog posts
  • You're comfortable on a customer call, an analyst briefing, and a blank page
  • You treat AI as a drafting partner, not a replacement for original thinking

How you grow as a Scribe

Investigative journalist, researcher, and storyteller, who also owns analyst and influencer relations. AI can rearrange words it has already seen; the Scribe uncovers the primary truth — the unspoken customer phrase, the original data point — that AI cannot invent because it exists nowhere else yet.

  1. 1

    Drafter

    Level 1 of 4

    Produces clean, on-brief copy with AI assistance.

    • Hits the brief with clear, error-free copy
    • Every piece has a stated "why now?" and "why us?"
    • Reliable turnaround across formats

    Level up: Stop filling the content calendar — own one content type end-to-end and go find the angle no one else has.

  2. 2

    Researcher-Interviewer

    Level 2 of 4

    Extracts signal from the field — interviews, calls, primary research — and runs analyst and influencer outreach.

    • Conducts interviews that surface an unspoken truth
    • Captures the exact customer phrases that move deals
    • Runs primary market research and analyst/influencer outreach; lets AI do the secondary research

    Level up: Turn one-off pieces into a system — build the living narrative canon and set the editorial bar others write to.

  3. 3

    Narrator

    Level 3 of 4

    Owns the point of view and narrative library; sets the editorial standard; trusted by analysts and influencers.

    • Maintains the living canon — ICPs, persona notes, brand voice, objection language
    • Produces anchor content competitors cannot replicate because it rests on proprietary input
    • Analysts and influencers take the call and echo the framing

    Level up: Stop generating options and start generating understanding — define the category language the market repeats.

  4. 4

    Voice

    Level 4 of 4

    Defines the category language; the writing itself wins deals. Signal at its purest.

    • The org's point of view is theirs; the market and analysts echo it
    • Content answers questions no one else has answered well
    • Presence and writing alone move pipeline

    At the top: Ceiling rung; the move is outward — make the org's voice a moat by mentoring the next Narrator and putting the editorial standard into the system.
