We're hiring a hands-on Content Team Lead to own content strategy and delivery for cohort launches and evergreen funnels. This is a benchmarking role that is equally strategic and executional: you'll set standards, mentor writers, and personally ship high-priority landing pages, webinar scripts, email sequences and ad copy that convert. You’ll work closely with Growth, Product and Instructors to turn technical subject matter into clear, outcome-driven messaging.
What you’ll own;
- Translate instructor and product inputs into learner-first messaging focused on career outcomes (roles, salary uplift, placements).
- Run copy + creative A/B tests and use GA4 / Hotjar / email metrics to iterate and improve conversion and retention.
- Maintain the content calendar, manage briefs, and ensure on-time launches for cohort intakes.
- Direct Content Creation: Take ownership of key projects, often creating content directly to ensure deadlines are met and quality is maintained, especially in high‑pressure situations. Canva should be on the tip of your fingers in case of urgent presentations or campaign deployments.
- Campaign Strategy & Development: Work closely with cross‑functional teams to develop campaign strategies that align with client objectives, translating insights into compelling copy for various formats (web, social, email, etc.).
- Quality Control & Accountability: Oversee the consistency, accuracy, and relevance of all content, ensuring adherence to brand guidelines and Saras’ legacy.
- Data‑Driven Optimization: Analyse content performance and make data‑driven recommendations for future strategies, constantly refining and improving content impact across all content marketing verticals.
What success looks like (first 6 months);
- Measurable uplift in landing page conversion rate and webinar signup conversion.
- A repeatable launch comms playbook owned by the content team.
- Faster turnaround on high‑priority assets and demonstrable quality improvements across deliverables.
- A team running with clear standards and accountability.
Must-have (non‑negotiable);
- 4–6 years in content or copywriting (agency, edtech, SaaS or freelance) with demonstrable outcomes.
- Master’s degree is mandatory.
- Portfolio required: minimum 8 published pieces across formats (Master’s thesis can be considered as well), including a landing page or conversion campaign, email sequences and a long‑form article/case study/social media. (Applications without a portfolio will be asked to complete an assignment)
- Proven experience managing or mentoring writers (min. 2 direct reports or a managed roster of freelancers).
- Strong command of English, impeccable editing, and the ability to adapt tone for different audiences.
- Direct experience writing conversion‑focused copy for landing pages, webinar funnels or cohort launches — include metrics.
- Comfortable reading and acting on analytics (GA4 preferred) and using session insights to improve copy.
- Familiarity with CMS/LMS publishing (WordPress/Thinkific/Teachable or similar) and email platforms (Klaviyo/Mailchimp).

Asana (content calendar), Canva / Figma (quick mockups), Looker Studio (basic reporting),
