You'll translate content strategy into deliverables while building strong client relationships and ensuring content quality aligns with business objectives.
About The Role
Client Management & Communication:
- Serve as the primary content contact for assigned client accounts, building strong relationships and ensuring satisfaction
- Conduct regular client calls (3-5+ per week) to present content, review feedback, and discuss strategy
- Translate SEO content strategies into clear, understandable business value for clients
- Manage client expectations by setting realistic timelines and content performance projections aligned with our agency methodology
- Facilitate communication between our writing team and clients to ensure smooth content delivery
- Write SEO-optimized content (blogs, web pages, service pages) for assigned clients across various industries
- Research topics, interview subject matter experts when needed, and adapt to different brand voices
- Meet deadlines while managing multiple client accounts simultaneously
- Edit and quality-check content from our writing team before client delivery
- Provide direct, actionable feedback to writers to maintain our quality standards
- Review content to ensure alignment with SEO strategy, brand voice, and client objectives
- Stay current with SEO content best practices to provide informed editorial guidance
- Collaborate with internal strategists and project managers on content planning and account strategy
- Provide recommendations for content improvements and expansion opportunities
- Report to the managing editor on account health, content performance, and team development needs
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional writing and editing experience
- Portfolio of organized writing samples (link required)
- General understanding of SEO content (we'll train you on our methods)

- Direct client experience (you've owned relationships, not just received assignments)
- Proficiency with project management software and Google Suite
- Available for client meetings during US business hours
- Generalists who thrive working with multiple clients and industries
- People who find client calls energizing, not draining
- Self-starters who figure things out without heavy direction

- Salary of $65,000 - $75,000, depending on experience

- 401(k) with 4% Match
