• Leadership Skills: 
  • Independently spearhead client content marketing endeavors, showcasing leadership and project management skills.
  • Develop, motivate, and guide the performance of less-experience Social & Content team members.

What You’ll Do:

• Guide the development of high-quality compelling content that incorporates brand, business goals, audience insights, personas, keywords, core messaging themes, and creative direction for a variety of clients.
• Manage client “pods” of other content subject matter experts (coordinators, specialists, writers) to ensure high-quality output (in terms of style, voice, tone across channels) and adherence to deadlines.
• Work collaboratively with business managers and cross-channel strategists (paid media, creative) to create integrated marketing strategies.
• Execute channel-specific reporting for organic content programs to inform strategic direction with data-backed insights.
• Stay up to date on industry trends within search, UX, social, market research, and other general updates and apply this information to ongoing content strategies.
