Content Manager - Household, Personal and Durables

The Content Manager serves as the Household, Personal & Durables subject matter expert within the Consumer Goods & Services pod and owns its expert research content coverage. The role identifies the companies, themes and investor questions that warrant coverage; defines and validates the Network Member profiles needed; designs differentiated interview agendas; leads human-moderated one-to-one interviews; and develops recurring programs for execution by Associates. The primary output of this research is the transcript: a written record of each human-moderated interview, published on GLG's Library, our access-controlled research platform, for use by institutional investors. 

The role requires an investor mindset and deep knowledge of Household, Personal & Durables, including its companies, value chain, financial statements, operating drivers, industry cycles and current debates. The Content Manager must also understand relevant credit, private-market and other investor perspectives well enough to assess the sub-sector broadly; ask incisive questions; challenge superficial answers; and produce content that leaves investors materially better informed.
