POSITION TITLE: Senior Content Manager, Performance Pneumatics Group (Gast, Airtech, US Valve)

REPORTING TO: Director of Marketing, Performance Pneumatics Group (Gast, Airtech, US Valve)

LOCATION: Hybrid

WHO WE ARE
The IDEX Performance Pneumatics Group, comprised of Gast, Airtech, and US Valve, is a global leader in engineered solutions for vacuum, pressure, and flow control. Our products power critical applications across industries, including data centers, medical and life sciences, industrial automation, and energy systems.

We are driven by innovation, precision engineering, and a commitment to reliability. By partnering closely with customers, we deliver tailored solutions that keep essential systems running and enable the technologies that shape modern life. Join us and be part of a team that values expertise, collaboration, and making an impact in industries that matter.
We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Content Manager to lead content initiatives across all marketing channels for Gast, Airtech, and US Valve within the IDEX Performance Pneumatics Group. This is not a typical content role. It is about building smart, insight-driven content that accelerates the customer journey from awareness to decision-making.

You will dig deep to understand our customers beyond the product, what challenges they face, how they measure success, and how we can help them move faster, increase profitability, and seize opportunities. Anyone can sell a product. We partner with customers to solve problems and deliver value that matters.

This role requires curiosity and a willingness to look outside our own walls to uncover trends, insights, and credible thought leadership. You will leverage market intelligence, industry research, and ABM tools like 6sense to guide our agency partners in creating content that differentiates us from traditional OEMs. This is the content job for someone who thinks differently and wants to make an impact.

• Maintain and prioritize a marketing content calendar across all channels, including social media, campaigns, and events, with ABM-specific initiatives highlighted.

• Ensure adherence to brand voice and messaging standards across all materials, while allowing for ABM-driven personalization.
