Editorial and Content Manager

Quietly is an award-winning, data-driven, full-service content marketing agency working across the entire lifecycle of content, from strategy to production and distribution. Quietly partners with category leaders such as Adobe, Dell Technologies, Goldman Sachs, Herschel, MEC, Sotheby’s International Realty, PwC, and Slack to understand and optimize how content drives their business. Data-driven to the core, we’re developing technology in-house, including standalone products like Quietly Insights.

Media fragmentation, changing consumer behavior, the rise of search and social, and the need to avoid commoditization are transforming the practice of marketing and communications. As a Content Manager, Editorial, at Quietly, you’ll get to lead that charge, helping some of the world’s leading brands who are eager to earn attention, instead of simply paying to interrupt.

This is a client-facing role working in collaboration with our Strategy and Client Services teams. Editorial and Content Managers provide creative content leadership to their clients and are responsible for managing all content deliverables on their accounts. You'll bring experience from creative agencies or publishing and the confidence to work on completely new types of projects; challenging long-standing assumptions, defending recommendations, and delivering high-value client work for category-leading organizations. You’re as passionate about breakthrough content as you are about editorial consistency and effectiveness—and you have no shortage of great ideas to elevate your clients’ work and help them excel in their categories. You inspire your teammates to raise the bar on every level—from brief to execution—because you fully understand this new experience economy, how and why audience expectations are transcending categories, and where the future is headed for B2C and B2B brands.

 

You’re looking for the next big challenge, and like us, you have no small plans.
