Content Marketing Lead

The Content Marketing Department at 829 Studios is looking for a dynamic, versatile, and highly collaborative Content Marketing Lead to manage a small team of copywriters and create a variety of compelling content assets for our clients. The role of the Content Marketing Lead will play a supportive role to other departments across the organization by managing the work for both web and marketing client accounts, not only capable of doing the copywriting, but also managing projects and people.

This role requires an editorial mind, an intellectually curious nature, and strong work ethic. Why? Because you’re writing for industries such as finance, B2B tech, healthcare, and manufacturing—as well as nonprofits, consumer goods, and hospitality/travel. There will be an emphasis on your business acumen, knowledge, and expertise in these industries and verticals. We expect that in your experience, you:

• Can lead difficult conversations with diverse personalities all together and direct senior-level executives and leadership on content projects in aforementioned industries
• Have embedded experience in those industries and learnings you can apply to your work and also share with team members
• Think knowledge-sharing and communication is the cornerstone of every great relationship–-whether between people or a person and pen (figuratively speaking)
• Understand the lingo and vernacular, and can adapt your writing style fluidly depending on the asset/marketing channel
• Keep exceptionally detailed notes, track time spent, and properly communicate throughout the collaboration with internal and external teams
• Can follow process and workflows consistently and effectively, while adapting and growing to the evolving needs of an organization or project
• Developed a tried and true approach for how you research, discover, and immerse yourself in topics that are unfamiliar to you
• Write well, fast, and according to the specifications of the project using best practices
• Have herded cats and wrangled projects that were designed by committee with dignity and grace
• Adopted a positive outlook and personal coping skills to get you through the day to day challenges of being a creative on a number of different projects
• Enjoy the company of like-minded people, not take life too damn seriously, and take part in the camaraderie and have fun with the job
• Agree that feedback and change are constants in our line of work

This person will be working with the content strategists and other senior copywriters and account leads to understand the marketing goals of various clients, while delivering exceptionally clean, polished copy and supporting team members with their editorial expertise—all within relatively short time frames, as clients work on monthly retainers.

The work generated by our team lives on through campaigns, web, social media, website, and strategy presentations.

In this role, the Content Marketing Lead will:

• Understand, create, evolve, and adapt to nuances in brand voice and styling for clients across all industries, as well as best practices for writing across channels and platforms
• Collaborate with team members to create and deliver polished copy in a timely manner
• Be an exceptional communicator in this remote work environment
• Approach content systematically and perform the necessary research or discovery to write it, researching through interviews, workshops, surveys, and any other format that gets you the insights you need
• Operate in a proactive way by calling out questionable source material or foreseeing problems
• Write, proof, edit, and deliver error-free on a daily basis
• Contribute to the maintenance of important resources like style guides, brand toolkits, and project outlines
• Ensure that protocols are being followed, including adopting our standards of operating in project management software
• Evolve processes, offerings, deliverable formats and when you see opportunities to make improvements
• Lead as a go-to resource on style, tone, brand voice, and editorial rules (like AP style)

• At least 5 years of professional writing experience in an agency or similar setting
• Background and experience in B2B, Finance,…
