Responsibilities

Your role as a Strategic Content Manager will involve:
  1. Strategic Orchestration & Process Leadership
  • Translate brand strategy into clear, actionable content project roadmaps with defined objectives, milestones, and outcomes.
  • Build frameworks that turn complex, multi-stakeholder scenarios into manageable projects.
  • Ensure each project follows an optimized process (from brief to rollout to measurement & optimization) with clear accountability and feedback loops.
  • Maintain visibility across all ongoing initiatives to anticipate dependencies and align process and sequencing.
  1. Embedding Metrics & Performance Thinking
  • Ensure that every initiative includes measurable indicators (reach, engagement, adoption, quality perception, etc.).
  • Work with content creation & distribution teams to define success criteria before production begins and ensure follow-up and optimization after launch.
  • Embed performance thinking in day-to-day operations, so metrics guide decision-making, resource allocation, and iteration, without turning creativity into bureaucracy.
  • Promote a mindset of continuous optimization rather than one-off delivery.
  1. Human-Centered Operational Efficiency
  • Design processes that empower creative teams, balancing agility, strategic clarity, and creative ownership.
  • Establish the right rituals (planning meetings, check-ins, retrospectives) to maintain flow and transparency.
  • Facilitate collaboration across creative disciplines, ensuring interdependence without overload.
  • Identify friction points and design smarter, lighter systems for coordination.
  1. Institutional Embedding
  • Ensure the Brand Team’s outputs are not just published, but adopted and activated across the institution (channels, touchpoints, teams…)
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders (schools, departments, communication units) to integrate brand narratives, campaigns, and frameworks into internal communications, training, and onboarding.
  • Guarantee that all internal audiences understand, use, and live the brand consistently, turning external storytelling into internal alignment.
  • Track adoption and coherence metrics (usage rates, alignment indicators, engagement levels) to measure institutional impact.
  1. Strategic Alignment & Governance
  • Ensure that all brand initiatives ladder up to institutional strategy, purpose, and priorities.
  • Serve as the orchestrator who ensures everyone (internal/external teams and collaborators) are moving in sync, guided by the same strategy and goals when it comes to content production projects.
  • Protect coherence and guardrails while enabling flexibility for creative experimentation.
 

Qualifications

To thrive in this role, you should possess the following qualifications:
  • Deep understanding of brand strategy and cross-functional content production.
  • Proven ability to turn ambiguity into structured, measurable action plans.
  • Strategic yet operational thinker: can zoom out to define frameworks and zoom in to ensure execution rigor.
  • Skilled at connecting creative, analytical, and human dimensions of work.
  • Confident managing influence horizontally (aligning and collaborating without the need for formal authority).
Unleash your full potential and make an impact. The next move is yours!
