Content Manager
This role is fully remote, we set a location because some job boards require it.
The Role
The Content Manager will conceive of, coordinate, produce and publish written, visual and video content on all of Kasa's channels for all of its different audiences and stakeholders. It will join the Brand team and report to the Head of Brand. The Content Manager will be totally obsessed with telling good stories—about Kasa, about travel, about real estate and so much more—and work with both internal and external content creators to get that content made and distributed through the web, social, email and print. Each project will be different, with different audiences and different metrics for success but what will remain constant is a demand for high quality and a high rate of production.
About the Team
The Brand team is the heart and hub of Kasa's creativity. On the team the Head of Brand focuses on strategy, and soon-to-be-hired positions tasked with interior design and graphic design round out our capabilities. The Brand team is tasked with ensuring that everything we are communicating to customers and other stakeholder groups is clear, engaging and on brand and this position would be a key part of that. The Content Manager would also work closely with the digital design team to ensure that Kasa's content was presented in the most effective and impactful way.
Day in the life of a Kasa Content Manager
The Content Manager begins their day by seeing what's new and fresh out there in the world of social and digital publishing. What are the hot topics in travel, real estate and accommodations and should Kasa be weighing in?
Next, the Content Manager will be moving a whole number of content projects along, working with a photographer on a shot list, editing a blog post, planning another week of social assets. The Content Manager will also be having meetings with cross-functional collaborators to ensure that any asset we create has many different uses and applications, and the Content Manager will also be meeting with the Head of Brand to bounce around new and exciting ideas.
The Content Manager might then stop by a video shoot for an hour or two to make sure we are getting what we need and then end the day by scheduling a week's worth of social posts.
