Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end content strategy for multiple client accounts - from brief interpretation through production, publishing, and performance analysis.

• Provide strategic direction on community engagement, tone alignment, and escalation handling, ensuring community efforts are fully integrated with content strategy.
• Translate brand strategies into content ecosystems across formats: short-form video, static, carousel, long-form, and emerging media.
• Serve as the primary content and copy lead for accounts in the assigned portfolio - writing original copy for social posts, campaign activations, video scripts, email, and brand communications as needed.
• Own content calendar planning, production scheduling, and cross-team coordination to consistently meet campaign deadlines.
• Review and approve all content and copy produced by direct reports before client or platform delivery.
• Partner with Account Management, Creative Strategy, and Paid Media to align organic content with broader campaign objectives.
• Facilitate content briefings, creative kickoffs, copy reviews, community-strategy alignments, and post-campaign retrospectives.
• Monitor and interpret content and community performance data, using insights to refine both strategy and copywriting.
• Coordinate with production resources - photographers, videographers, designers, and editors - so copy and visuals work cohesively.
• Present content strategies and performance reports to clients and internal stakeholders with clarity and confidence.
• Contribute to new-business proposals by developing content frameworks and creative concepts for prospective clients.
• Establish and maintain content guidelines, brand-voice documentation, and creative briefs for each assigned account.
• Conduct regular 1:1s and check-ins with direct reports to support professional development and project alignment.
• Champion content innovation by identifying emerging platform trends, formats, and audience behaviors relevant to client goals.

What Success Looks Like

• Client account retention and satisfaction within the assigned portfolio.
• Audience growth and engagement performance across managed accounts.
• On-time content delivery and production quality (e.g., revision / rework rates).
• Content performance against agreed campaign KPIs.
• Team development - direct reports growing in skill, autonomy, and ownership.
