About Us

Our mission to revolutionize the hospitality industry. We exist to reinvent hospitality with AI-driven execution. By transforming long-term luxury rentals into exceptional short-term experiences, we deliver unparalleled quality and service to our guests.
At the same time, we empower property managers to unlock the full potential of their properties, maximizing their buildings top line. Our vision? To become the go-to solution for property managers across the U.S. We're expanding city by city, bringing our innovative approach and passion for excellence to new markets and communities. What makes Cloud9 truly unique isn’t just our commitment to service—it's our people. We believe in the power of teamwork to drive success. Whether you're a guest, a partner, or part of our team, you'll find collaboration, trust, and shared purpose at the heart of everything we do.

We don’t hire to fill seats. We hire to pull levers that move numbers. Outcomes > effort > intentions.

Our core values are speed, meritocracy, accountability, and execution.

What this is

Cloud9 generates raw material every day: the founder's takes, calls, talks, the company's stories. Almost none of it gets turned into content. We need someone to own that.

You'll own two brands on one engine: the Cloud9 company brand and Marcus's personal CEO brand. You turn long-form into short-form at volume. One talk becomes thirty posts. One call becomes a week of content. Across LinkedIn, X, YouTube, and short-form video.

This is a production role, not a strategy role. You make things and ship them. Daily.

You work with AI as your multiplier. AI slices, drafts, and repurposes. You own the voice, the taste, and what goes live.

What you'll own

The waterfall. Long-form in, many short-form out. Every source mined for everything it's worth.

Volume. On-brand assets published every week, on both brands. Your number is the cadence.

Founder voice. Marcus's personal brand. You write so it reads like him, not like a press release.

Company brand. The Cloud9 identity, voice, and look. Consistent everywhere.

The production system. Capture to publish. Documented. Repeatable. Runs without anyone babysitting it.

Taste. What ships and what gets killed. Volume without a bar is noise.

What success looks like

Day 30. Brand and voice audit done. Production system stood up. First waterfalls shipped from existing raw material. Baseline audience and cadence numbers set.

Day 90. Consistent weekly cadence on both brands. Organic brand searches and direct-site traffic trending up. A documented pipeline anyone could run.

Month 12. [Owned audience = a real channel. Brand-search up X%. Cadence at Y assets/week.] The brand is a talent and demand magnet. The engine runs without the founder producing it.

What you'll need

A portfolio of short-form video and content you personally made. Bring it. The portfolio matters more than the resume.
A content waterfall you've built and run: one long-form turned into many short-form across platforms.
Proof of volume. You've published at real cadence with a system, not in bursts.
The ability to write in someone else's voice. Founder voice, not corporate comms.
Heavy AI tool use. Claude or equivalent in your daily flow to produce at volume.
A point of view on brand. Taste you can defend.
Fluent English, written and spoken.

Who this is not for

Strategists who don't produce. We hire makers.
One-off posters with no system.
Corporate-comms or press-release writers.
People who need a full brief before they can move.
People who think AI is beneath them, or who hide that they use it.
People who confuse reach with brand.

What's real about Cloud9 right now

The brand function is unbuilt. You're not inheriting a machine, you're building one.
The founder is the primary subject. You'll work closely with Marcus and have to nail his voice fast.
This role likely starts as a paid contract / fractional engagement before it goes full-time. We test the work first.
You work alongside Claude. AI is the production multiplier, not a buzzword.
Distributed team. Some in Chicago. Some in Latam.
Decisions move at speed. Mediocre content gets cut faster.

How to apply

Send three things:

Portfolio. 3-5 pieces you personally made. At least one short-form video and one example of a long-form-to-short-form waterfall.
Voice sample. Take any public Marcus or Cloud9 clip and turn it into 3 short posts in his voice. Show us you can disappear into the voice.
One line. Why this role, not another. And tell us your AI stack.

Top candidates hear back in 48 hours. Final round is with Marcus, our CEO.
