Head of Content

Location: Remote (Eastern Time preferred)

Industry: Publishing / Business Intelligence

Salary Range: $100,000–$115,000 performance-based bonus

About the Opportunity

Our client is a dynamic publishing and business intelligence company that produces annual economic reports and daily digital content across multiple markets. With a team of ~30–50 employees, they combine traditional publishing excellence with innovative digital strategies to deliver insights that help leaders, investors, and communities understand the economic landscape.

This is a confidential search for a Head of Content who will play a pivotal role in shaping editorial direction, driving audience growth, and ensuring the company’s content becomes a revenue‑generating engine.

The Role

The Head of Content will report directly to senior leadership and oversee a remote editorial team of 2 senior editors, 5 content managers, and 1 editorial assistant. This leader will manage the full content lifecycle—from ideation to publication—across print and digital platforms.

Key responsibilities include:

• Overseeing annual business reports (18 titles published each year)
• Managing daily articles, newsletters, and digital content
• Coordinating with SEO and digital marketing partners to grow traffic and conversions
• Ensuring the company’s website drives subscriptions, memberships, and advertising revenue
• Implementing innovation initiatives, including AI adoption for content optimization
• Maintaining editorial standards, brand voice, and workflow efficiency
• Reporting regularly on KPIs, successes, and strategic direction

Candidate Profile

We are seeking senior‑level editorial and content leaders who bring:

• 7–10 years of experience in publishing or content leadership (print digital)
• Strong editorial judgment and storytelling skills
• Proven track record in SEO, audience growth, and conversion strategies
• Experience managing multi‑market content production in a fast‑paced environment
• Excellent leadership and people management skills
• Familiarity with Google Suite, Zoho, and CMS tools
• Comfort with AI tools and a growth mindset toward innovation
• A portfolio showcasing digital content and reports (audio/video experience is a plus)

Growth Potential

This role offers clear upward mobility. With strong performance, the Head of Content could evolve into Director of Content or Chief Content Officer, expanding into new formats, markets, and P&L responsibility.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $100,000–$115,000 (depending on experience)
• Performance‑based bonus structure tied to audience growth and revenue targets
• Remote flexibility (Eastern Time preferred for scheduling)
• Opportunity to lead content strategy at a growing publishing company

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a chance to step into a senior leadership role where your editorial vision and digital strategy will directly impact growth, innovation, and brand success. You’ll work with a collaborative team, have the freedom to experiment with new ideas, and see your strategies come to life across multiple markets.
