The Role, along with everything you’d expect

• The Content Manager role is an ideal opportunity to marry your experience creating engaging content with a passion for trading and financial markets.
• The role is also a great fit for candidates who are interested in learning how to engage a worldwide audience across multiple channels.
• Along with autonomy, you can expect lots of work diversity. This role includes everything from managing an internal and external freelance staff to social expertise to producing podcasts, blogs and keeping current on the latest in video and branding trends. No two days are the same and we’ll be learning right along with you!
• Manage 2-6 person content team, consisting of video and audio talent, according to our company values. This includes monthly one-on-one meetings, professional development goals, and overall quality performance toward achieving business content goals.
• Manage rotating team of freelance writers to ensure all content priorities are fully staffed, and all content pieces are consistent with our brand and voice.
• Create written and audio content according to our brand voice, and our department and company goals. You will be working cross-departmentally to fulfill content needs on a daily basis.

The Ideal Candidate

• Knowledge of financial markets and/or trading is a must. We need someone who knows what our traders care about engaging with and can hit the ground running; we believe our users are the center of our work, and our content strategy is a main pillar of our work
• Experience in digital marketing best practices. You don't have to be a pro, but you’ll definitely need to come in being able to use a marketing tool like HubSpot, analyze data, and make decisions based on that data.
• Excellent English writing skills, attention to detail, time management skills, and overall positive attitude. We thought these were assumed, but better safe than sorry.
• Proven experience in full cycle of content. We need someone to own the vision and goal setting of each content piece through to the implementation and reporting
• Previous experience managing a small team. We envision team management being about one third of your time, and we believe in the well-being of our team, so capable leaders are essential
• Smart and approachable. Our entire company will rely on the Content Team for aspects of different projects, and we're team players. As the employees are our clients, establishing a great rapport is one of the most important aspects of the role
• Ability to prioritize initiatives and communicate clearly across the company. As a small company, we always have a lot going on, and we rely on our teams to have the skills to navigate the best way to accomplish our goals.
• Thoughts on the Oxford comma. Yes or no? Must have an opinion, and the right one
