We're looking for a Director, Content and Editorial Strategy — a visionary content leader who can elevate our brand through editorial leadership, world-class storytelling, breakthrough copywriting, and scalable content systems.

As part of the Brand Experience team, you’ll lead a small but high-impact team responsible for editorial direction, thought leadership, brand copy and bringing our narrative strategy to life across the full content ecosystem. From sharp campaign headlines to long-form storytelling, your team will drive content that builds brand credibility, influences audiences and deepens engagement. As a player-coach, you’ll roll up your sleeves and take the pen when needed — shaping the work just as much as the vision behind it. This includes content across short-form editorial, blog, video, and emerging formats like interactive content.

You’ll collaborate across the organization — partnering with marketing, sales, and customer success and tap into a trusted network of writers and contributors across marketing to extend your team’s reach.

This role is not about managing content production day-to-day. It’s about owning the content vision — setting the tone for how we tell our story across every audience, channel, and stage of the journey (from ad copy to thought leadership). You’ll bring a strong POV on brand and voice, an instinct for editorial quality, and the operational chops to scale a high-performing global content team. Just as critically, you’ll lead the development of a strategic editorial plan — identifying the themes, topics, and formats that resonate most with our audiences at every step of the buyer journey and aligning content efforts to business priorities.

You embrace AI as a vital, integrated member of the content team not just a tool, but a creative partner. You know how to blend human creativity with AI-powered systems to drive both craft and efficiency at scale, without compromising voice, originality, or strategic intent.

Key Responsibilities

• Set and evolve the global content strategy, ensuring alignment with brand, growth, product, and executive communications.
• Own the content strategy — shaping how we communicate what we do and why it matters across the full buyer journey.
• Build, maintain, and socialize a comprehensive editorial calendar to ensure alignment, transparency, and timely delivery across teams and markets.
• Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary content team, including brand copy, editorial, and thought leadership functions.
• Guide the integration of AI in content operations, ensuring the right balance between efficiency and creative integrity.
• Build and manage editorial systems, content governance frameworks, and standards that support consistency at scale.
• Partner closely with brand, product marketing, and comms to align messaging across regions, personas, and campaigns.
• Collaborate closely with creative teams to bring content to life visually — ensuring alignment between narrative intent, storytelling goals, and design execution across all touchpoints.
• Translate high-level strategy into actionable content programs that drive awareness, consideration, and engagement.
• Elevate and enhance global thought leadership, helping the business show up as an insightful, forward-thinking voice in the market across channels including blog, podcast, research, and external publications.
• Partner with web, design, and SEO teams to uplevel our blog and create a world-class content experience that drives traffic, engagement, and brand authority.
• Champion a strong, clear, differentiated brand voice that resonates across audiences and cultures.
• Measure content performance, and continuously optimize for reach, relevance, and impact.
