LinkedIn content for every role

Your role on LinkedIn determines what your network expects to hear from you. A founder is expected to share company milestones, lessons, and personal stake. A head of sales is expected to share market observations and team wins. An IC engineer is expected to share craft and trade-offs. Posting against your role earns trust; posting outside it reads as off-brand. The pages below break down what content actually works for each role, with example posts and the topics that compound.

How your role shapes content that works

Founders post personal stake. Sales leaders post market observations. Marketing leaders post strategy and craft. Customer success post stories from the front line. Recruiters post hiring market and company culture. ICs post technical depth, project wins, and craft. Each of these has a recognizable shape, a recognizable cadence, and a recognizable failure mode when you copy a different role's playbook into your own.

The audience reading your posts already has a mental model of what someone in your role should be saying. A founder posting like a junior marketer feels off. A senior IC posting like a CEO feels off. The strongest content sits comfortably inside what your role gives you license to say, then pushes one level deeper than your peers are willing to go.

Roles covered in this hub

The directory below is grouped into categories: founders and executives, sales and revenue, marketing and brand, product and engineering, operations and customer success, recruiting and talent, and individual contributors across functions. Each role page has a tailored content strategy, the topic ideas that actually pull in views and replies, an example post written specifically for that role, and the common mistakes to avoid.

If you're in a hybrid role (a founding engineer, a sales-engineer, a head of growth wearing a CMO and CRO hat), pick the closest role page as a baseline and then borrow from the adjacent one. Edgar's voice profile is the same idea: start from the role pattern, then sharpen toward the specific person.

Role vs use case vs industry

Three lenses, three different questions. Role asks what seat you sit in. Use case asks what job you're trying to do. Industry asks what world you operate in. They overlap. A head of sales (role) at a SaaS company (industry) trying to build pipeline (use case) gets value from looking at all three pages. The role page tells you what your peers post; the use case page tells you how to translate posts into pipeline; the industry page tells you what your buyers already know.
