We’re a highly cross-functional team and partner most closely with Product, Relationship Management, Design, Sales, and BD to help our prospects and customers understand how we can help them reach their full potential.

 

What you’ll do

We’re looking for a Managing Editor to own content marketing strategy and execution at Brex. You will report to the Director of Copywriting and collaborate with members of marketing and subject matter experts to scale and execute content marketing at Brex. You have a passion for B2B content and you think like a marketer as much as a strategist and storyteller, with a focus on delivering content that creates awareness and drives engagement across the customer journey. You’ll set the roadmap for content development and publishing, aligning and optimizing toward marketing strategy and goals, and potentially sourcing and assigning freelancers, all in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders.

• Create and manage a content calendar with a regular cadence of long-from editorial, such as blog posts, white papers, ebooks, reports, videos, infographics, etc. aligned to the buyer journey and business goals
• Coordinate internal and external editorial resources to develop and deliver content, including writing content yourself 
• Actively recruit and cultivate sources and subjects for our content, including Brex leaders, community members, and customers
• Review and edit copy to ensure all content marketing deliverables are consistent with our brand voice, style, and tone
• Measure and optimize the effectiveness of our content by developing reporting, KPIs, and metrics for each content channel
• Partner with other teams (revenue marketing, social media, sales team) on the distribution and promotion of content
• Be an integral part of creating our editorial processes and best practices

Preferred qualifications:

• 10+ years of content marketing experience, ideally in B2B (SaaS/Tech/Fintech) or financial journalism
• Exceptional writing, storytelling, and editing skills, as well as strong project and program management skills
• Unwavering focus on and empathy for the customer 
• Deep understanding and passion for how content aids the buyer journey
• Experience working with cross-functional teams and external agencies.
• Leadership skills to confidently research and speak to internal experts and customers as needed to create the best content possible – as well as to provide constructive feedback to contributors and other writers 
• Experience using metrics to develop and iterate on content and reporting findings
• Experience with common CMS platforms and analytics tools (bonus points if you’re experienced in the Sanity CMS)
• A sense of what is newsworthy as well as how to find stories in data
• High degree of ownership and accountability
• Attention to detail and ability to multi-task projects, priorities, and deliverables
• A bachelor’s degree, preferably in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, or related field
