  • Own content strategy across evergreen email campaigns, newsletters, blogs, and website content for all brands, ensuring a consistent editorial voice, publishing cadence, and quality bar.
  • Own SEO content strategy in partnership with our digital agency, providing direction on keyword and topic priorities and holding the content side of that relationship accountable to measurable results.
  • Establish and maintain a content performance reporting cadence (engagement, growth, and lead-generation impact where traceable) for leadership visibility.
  • Partner with the VP of Sales & Marketing and the Director of Marketing as well as internal thought leaders and subject-matter experts across the company to support strategy for conference speaking engagements, panels, webinars, and other visibility opportunities that build brand authority.
  • Work with company leadership on the rebrand of Guidewell Education brands, including messaging architecture, visual branding, content, and a brand communications framework.
  • Lead day-to-day brand governance, ensuring brand and messaging consistency across all Guidewell Education brands, particularly during the rebrand transition.
