    Job Description

    As a Content Strategist, you will be responsible for helping clients achieve their marketing goals by developing compelling, valuable content and advising on content marketing strategy.

    Content Strategists should be strong, agile project managers as well as savvy strategists who are enthusiastic about content marketing. This role straddles both execution and strategy; the ideal candidate is as comfortable creating project timelines as they are ideating article pitches for a client or providing content pillar recommendations for a new line of business.

You will serve as the primary success owner for assigned customer campaigns and projects, with ample support from your content director, program team, and co-strategists.

    • Edit written content assets for style, clarity, tone, and relevance to client goals
    • Own the successful production and delivery of content products (e-books, promoted stories, surveys, webinars, etc)
    • Consistently review performance data to provide data-driven insights and recommendations for content direction
    • Project manage production timelines across all assigned projects
    • Organize and run project kickoff calls with clients
    • Act as the designated point of contact for clients, responding to and managing client requests
    • Oversee licensed content curation
    • Collaborate closely with your co-strategists, program team, and content director to manage client expectations and resolve escalated client issues
