About the Role

TRM Labs is seeking an experienced Content Marketing Manager to support its Insights team within Primary Intelligence.

You’ll work closely with researchers to transform complex, data-driven research into compelling, accessible content for customers, journalists, and broader audiences. This role requires more than traditional copyediting — we’re looking for someone who can think critically, challenge narratives, ask thoughtful questions, and identify opportunities to make research more engaging and impactful.

You’ll own the editorial process from completed research drafts through publication and distribution, with approximately 70% of the role focused on editorial review and content development and the remaining time dedicated to publishing, content operations, and distribution.

• Editorial Calendar: Maintain publishing schedules, coordinate priorities, and manage approximately 1–3 research pieces per week.
• Website & Social Content: Publish finalized research to TRM's website and develop accompanying social content.

• Experience independently managing editorial workflows, content development, and publishing processes.
• Ability to translate complex, technical, or data-driven information into clear, engaging content for different audiences.
• Strong organizational, communication, and project management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
