Role
Who you are
- You embrace AI not just as 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
- 10+ years in B2B content strategy, editorial leadership, or brand marketing with a strong emphasis on content operations and storytelling
- Proven experience building and managing editorial calendars and content workflows at scale
- Strong background in editorial content management—from blog and article planning to final production and distribution
- Demonstrated ability to create and scale content programs that deliver business results (e.g., MQLs, pipeline, engagement, brand lift)
- Experience managing and collaborating with remote creative teams and external agencies
- Fluency with marketing analytics platforms and applying data to optimize content performance
- Familiarity with content and project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Monday.com, GA4, etc.)
- Excellent editorial judgment, copywriting sensibility, and attention to voice, tone, and detail. Comfortable with AI-powered tools and content tech stacks
What the job involves
- We're looking for a Senior Manager of Content Strategy — a visionary content leader who can elevate our brand through editorial strategy, world-class storytelling, breakthrough copywriting, and scalable content systems
- In this role, you'll oversee the development and implementation of a comprehensive content strategy—one that strengthens brand identity, engages our target audiences, and delivers measurable business outcomes
- As part of the Integrated Communications team, you’ll lead a high-impact team responsible for editorial direction, thought leadership, brand copy and bringing our narrative strategy to life in service to the Mimecast brand
- From sharp headlines to long-form storytelling, your team will drive content that builds brand credibility, influences audiences and deepens engagement
- You’ll collaborate across the organization — partnering with product marketing, growth marketing, and customer advocacy— to bring the brand story to life, and to set the stage for the solution stories that follow
- This role is about setting the tone for how we tell our story across every audience and channel in service to the brand, and partnering cross-functionally to tell our story at different stages 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 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
- Lead Content Management: Own and maintain a centralized editorial calendar that maps content across themes, formats, and campaigns to ensure consistency, timeliness, and strategic alignment
- Establish Scalable Content Workflows: Define and optimize content production processes, including briefing, review cycles, approvals, publishing, and performance tracking
- Drive Multi-Format Content Creation: Lead the production of content across video, case studies, blog posts, thought leadership, white papers, and digital assets
- Align Content with Business Strategy: Develop and execute a content strategy that supports brand goals and business objectives, including pipeline generation, brand awareness, and customer engagement
- Build Content Franchises: Launch and evolve branded editorial series or franchises that deepen audience engagement and position us as a thought leader
- Manage Teams and Partners: Direct remote writers, editors, designers, and agency partners to deliver high-quality, on-brand content on time and at scale
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner with product marketing, demand generation, web, and comms teams to ensure unified messaging and goal alignment
- Measure and Optimize: Monitor performance using content analytics, conversion data, and engagement metrics to inform ongoing strategy improvements
- Champion Editorial Excellence: Balance creativity and storytelling with editorial rigor, brand voice consistency, and audience value
