• Set editorial standards (voice, accuracy, governance) and keep quality high across all assets. 

• Establish and maintain the red thread, so teams use consistent language, claims, and proof points—tailored by audience, not reinvented.

• Partner across Product Marketing, Demand Gen, Comms, Brand, Product, and SMEs to source insights and ship integrated programs. 

• Own the content creation agency relationship end-to-end: briefs, scope of work, timelines, reviews, and quality. 

• Own agency budget: forecast spend, track burn vs deliverables/credits, and coordinate contracting/renewals with Procurement/Legal/Finance. 

Performance optimization & LLM influence 

• Track and improve content performance (engagement, SEO, conversion influence, answer‑engine performance) and iterate based on evidence. 

• Design content for dual consumption (humans + LLMs) with clear structure, grounded claims, and stable semantics.

Required 

• 8–10+ years in content strategy/editorial leadership in B2B tech. 

• 12+ years of content strategy, content management, and/or content development

• Experience owning agency/vendor scope and budget (SOWs, spend tracking, delivery/quality management). 

• Data-driven mindset with comfort using analytics to improve outcomes. 

Preferred 

• Experience building scalable content systems (messaging architectures, modular frameworks, editorial playbooks). 

• Prior experience working at a marketing and/or content creation agency is a plus. 

• Experience optimizing for modern discovery (SEO + answer engines) using structured patterns (FAQs, comparisons, decision guides). 

• Comfort operating as an editorial “final say” in a matrixed environment. 

• Demonstrated success creating and enforcing a common language / red-thread narrative across contributors.
