ABOUT THE TEAM

WAYS YOU’LL CONTRIBUTE 

The ideal candidate is a prolific and talented content creator, familiar with B2B content creation and/or has in-house/agency experience—one that knows how to draw an audience and drive action, who can quickly adapt to the Centro voice and produce various projects and blogs regularly to expand our company’s digital footprint, awareness, subscribers, and leads. We’re looking for a curious, wordsmith extraordinaire—a creative seller and solutionist, a trend-watcher—better yet, a trendsetter, a pragmatist, a project manager, and a storyteller. This individual will report to the Manager, Content Marketing.

We are in search of a bright mind who brings fresh ideas to the table, a critical thinker who can distill industry information, news and trends into compelling concepts, themes and copy that positions Centro as a thought leader in the ad tech industry space. This role requires a high level of creativity, attention to detail, and project management skills. You'll also contribute by:

• Brainstorming and creating 1-2 free resources each month to drive leads, subscribers, awareness, and/or other important metrics (examples include, but are not limited to, marketing campaigns and paid digital advertising assets, long-form content such as e-books, whitepapers, infographics, guides, etc.; blog posts, emails, landing pages, video scripts, social media, event materials, and more).
• Blogging on an ongoing basis in support of other projects to attract site visitors through search, social, and email subscribers.
• Learning, innovating, and identifying new and more enticing ways to tell and share the Centro brand story.
• Growing our subscriber base by providing regular, helpful content that’s in-tune with their needs.
• Collaborating closely with designers, product marketing, sales, external influencers, and industry experts to produce relevant content that meets the needs of key stakeholders and our audiences—and learning, innovating, and identifying new and more enticing ways to tell and share the Centro brand story.
• Leaning on your subject matter expertise to research and write on a wide range of topics within the digital advertising industry. 
• Stewarding the brand voice to ensure Centro’s personality is defined and differentiated; ensuring content is consistent and on-brand (style, tone of voice) and optimized for search and social across all channels (i.e., mobile, video, email, etc.).
• Leading and leveraging best practices in grammar, writing, and style.
• Managing multiple, high-priority projects and making sure copy deliverables are met on a daily/weekly basis.
• Acting as a mentor; share experiences/perspectives with the rest of the team. 

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE

• Minimum of 5+ years of B2B copywriting experience, in-house or agency.
• Minimum of 5+ years of experience producing digital content specifically, as well as channel-specific knowledge (i.e., blog, mobile, social media, video).
• Bachelor's degree in English, Journalism, Communications, or related equivalent experience.
• Ability to confidently present/sell your concepts, work, and ideas. 
• In-depth knowledge of WordPress to blog and produce smart CTAs according to visitor lifestyle stages—and an advanced understanding of SEO-driven content and the ability to create it.
• Strong collaborator with ability to work across various departments and teams to create results.
• Positive, open, and curious individual who thrives working in a high-performing team environment.
• A dual-minded approach: You’re highly creative and an excellent writer, but can also be process-driven, think scale, and rely on data to make decisions. 
• Operates with low ego and shows a willingness to jump in and help where it is needed most.
• Must have a portfolio of writing samples to show a range of work.
