ABOUT THIS ROLE

We're looking for a Content Strategy & Editorial Manager to run our content engine, LinkedIn first, then across other channels. This role defines what content gets created, when, for whom, and through which channel, translating business priorities into a scalable editorial roadmap.

This role is designed for someone who can manage complex stakeholder input, prioritize content demand, orchestrate internal and external contributors, and build a scalable content planning model across teams and business areas. It does not primarily create or write content, it owns the content planning, prioritization, workflow, and editorial operating model, and is primarily responsible for developing and maintaining the editorial calendar.

Agency experience is a strong plus; people who have built and run editorial operating models across multiple clients or brands tend to hit the ground running here. But it’s not the only path in; strong in-house strategists with the right experience are just as welcome to apply.

KEY OBJECTIVES

- Build and maintain a scalable editorial content engine across channels
- Translate business priorities into a clear content roadmap and editorial calendar
- Ensure content demand is prioritized, coordinated, and governed effectively
- Improve content efficiency through planning, repurposing, and AI-supported workflows
- Drive adoption of content planning, governance, and editorial processes across teams
