The role is designed for a highly-motivated, self-directed leader who is comfortable operating in situations without an established playbook. The Head of Content will partner closely with teams across corporate marketing, client marketing, communications, investment platforms, investor relations, legal, and compliance to align on corporate-level content priorities, influence shared processes, and improve how content is created, used, and distributed. The position also involves providing leadership to the firm's video program, ensuring video is integrated into the broader content ecosystem and deployed strategically to support business and brand objectives.

• Partner with marketing teams to develop content optimized for and to distribute it through a wide array of channels, including web, email, social, events, podcasts, advertising, earned-media, collateral, etc.
• Liaise with teams across client marketing, investor relations, investment platforms, social, communications, legal, and compliance to support the adaptation of corporate-level content to the needs of our distinct and diverse audiences.
• In partnership with marketing, define and socialize standards and guidelines that support consistency in brand, messaging, tone, and quality across content outputs.
• Collaborate with marketing partners to measure the success of content performance and distribution, conducting post-campaign analysis to refine content strategy, inform prioritization, demonstrate ROI, and improve effectiveness over time.
• Provide leadership over the firm's video program, helping to reinforce video as a core pillar of the content ecosystem and to ensure that video output is strong, polished, and supports broader content and business goals.
• Navigate ambiguity and competing priorities with sound judgment, diplomacy, and a solutions-oriented mindset.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree required
• Ten plus years of experience building and scaling content in accordance with a well-defined content strategy, preferably within financial services
• Strategic thinker who is equally comfortable defining vision and driving execution.
• Deep appreciation for content as a strategic asset, with demonstrable experience managing content, and building processes, governance frameworks, and scalable content operations within complex organizations
• Ability to manage a variety of internal and external partners and vendors, including copywriters, graphic designers, editors, and proofreaders.
• Outstanding skills in organization, prioritization, and time management
