As a Content Strategist, you will serve as the editorial architect of client's corporate narrative, product storytelling, and owned content ecosystem. This role ensures that every piece of content – from executive commentary and event coverage to social posts and website articles – aligns to strategic messaging, brand campaign objectives, and editorial priorities. Acting as both planner and storyteller, the Content Strategist oversees the development and coordination of the company-wide editorial calendar, ensuring cohesion across all of client's channels, including the corporate website, blog, newsroom, newsletters, and social platforms. You will work cross-functionally with brand, product, research, events, and executive teams to identify storytelling opportunities, streamline planning, and bring a consistent narrative thread through all content touchpoints. This position is ideal for a strategic communicator who thrives at the intersection of content, narrative, and audience – someone who can zoom out to see the big picture while staying grounded in the details of execution and channel alignment.

Serve as the editorial lead for cross-functional campaigns, ensuring that content across the ecosystem ties back to overarching narratives and business goals.
• Content planning & operations: Maintain a 360-degree view of all planned content, ensuring balance, timing, and alignment across executives, business units, and brand channels.

Partner with analytics and social teams to integrate performance insights into ongoing editorial decisions.
