Be highly proficient at delivering written content as well as being able to turn this into visual content for social media, in-app/web video and so on.
Lead a team of writers to do the same as the point above, managing their content delivery priorities, reviewing and (where needed) editing their work, while also helping them grow as writers.
Confident in forming their own opinions and insights on financial markets, while being positioned as a thought leader across the media and other
Develop a publishing strategy that maintains the levels of engagement with our newsletter, blog and social media content - what topics we talk about, what stories we cover, how we do it, and so on.
Running editorial meetings with your team to fuel this strategy with fresh ideas.
Work with the Content Lead to understand what content is required to support their product marketing content strategies and balance this amongst the content delivery for your publishing strategy.
Support broader Product and Marketing stakeholders by delivering content that meets their campaign needs.
