We are looking for a Content Marketing Manager to bring our expertise, customer successes and industry insights to life through compelling storytelling.

Your role

You will shape, develop and activate content that strengthens Marlink’s market position, engages our audiences and supports commercial growth. Combining editorial judgement with hands‑on writing, you will translate complex technical and business topics into clear, relevant stories that reflect our customers’ needs and business priorities.

As part of our Marketing Communications team, you will collaborate with Marketing, Sales, Business Development, Product Management and subject matter experts across our Business Units. You will report to the Director of Communications, with a dotted reporting line to the Head of Brand.

• Plan the content pipeline: Develop and maintain a proactive external editorial calendar and content pipeline aligned with brand priorities and Business Unit campaign roadmaps.
• Identify story opportunities: Research markets, audiences, competitors and industry trends to proactively uncover relevant stories and emerging themes.
• Create and commission content: Translate complex technical and commercial topics into accessible, audience‑focused short and long‑form content, including case studies, customer spotlights, whitepapers, eBooks, research reports, blogs, newsletters and executive articles.
• Adapt stories across formats: Develop short‑form storytelling for social media campaigns, series and other digital channels, and support storyboarding and content development for video, interviews and other multimedia.
• Develop thought leadership: Develop a network of subject matter experts and work with them and senior executives to identify areas of expertise, develop activation plans and turn specialist insights into compelling industry perspectives.
• Activate and repurpose content: Extend content across campaigns, PR, social media, email, account-based marketing, events and sales channels, tailoring it to target audiences and customer journeys
