Head of Content at Quietly

Department: Content

Location: Vancouver

Compensation: $120,000 - $140,000 / year

Description

Changing consumer behavior in a cookieless world, the rise of AI, and the need to avoid commoditization is all transforming the practice of Marketing & Communications. As Head of Content at Quietly, you will lead that charge, helping the world’s leading brands create content their consumers want with programs their business needs.

You bring experience 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 inspiring ideas as you are about editorial consistency and effectiveness—and you’re driven to help brands 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 are looking for the next big challenge, and like us, you have no small plans.

This is a full-time opportunity offering a base salary, 3-weeks vacation, and a comprehensive benefits package. You can work from our headquarters in Vancouver, remote, or a hybrid of both. If these values resonate, we’d love to hear from you.
