Senior Content Manager (Leeds)
We are looking for a content expert to join our fast-growing agency and work with a growing portfolio of huge SaaS brands, including PandaDoc, Brightpearl, Databricks and Dialpad (with more big SaaS brands following soon).
The successful candidate will be responsible for managing a large team of editors and writers to ensure accelerate's content production meets the highest standards for SEO and readers.
Paying up to £40,000 per year (DOE), this position is well-suited for an expert editor and polished copywriter who has led a team and is excited by setting high standards for prolonged success.
Embracing a fully flexible working culture, you can work from home, at our Bristol-based office, or both.
Our Company:
Specialising in Saas SEO fuelled by a combination of human expertise, data analysis, and automation, accelerate has been in the SEO industry since before the term existed.
Our skills lie in the strategic use of content, SEO, large-scale outreach and link building to get our clients organic results that match paid performance channels.
But we're not just about getting results. We're about finding the leanest, most efficient and effective routes to get there.
Forget the old agency adage of 'pulling a late one' - we're all about working smarter, not harder, while respecting our colleagues' work-life balance.
The role:
SEO content is accelerate's superpower, which means we create content for our clients at high-quality and high volume.
The day-to-day responsibilities of this role will focus on managing accelerate's content production processes to ensure we deliver the highest quality work for our clients - from content brief creation to editorial queue management to editing.
Accelerate has a lead editor assigned to each client. The role of the Content Manager will involve managing these editors, ensuring they have everything needed to work efficiently. This will involve liaising directly with clients and department heads to gather information and smooth content-related communications.
Outside of day-to-day activities, upskilling the wider content team will be a key priority through building out training resources to support writers and editors.

* Two years minimum content management experience
* Experience working in a digital agency is a must, ideally an SEO one
* Spent time working as an editor or editing SEO onsite content
* Strong creative copy editing, writing, and grammar skills
* Experience creating and interpreting content briefs
* Familiar with best SEO practices
* Hands-on experience in creating onsite content for SEO
* Experience with content management tools is a must
* Managing a team of writers and editors
Benefits:
* Annual personalised training budget
* Regular work socials
* Pension plan
* 31 days holiday
* Excellent maternity, paternity and adoption packages
* Christmas shut down
* Option to earn additional 5 days holiday, in addition to standard holiday allowance
* Flexible working culture
* Never work more than your contracted hours (we don't ever want people work more than they are meant to)
How to Apply:
* To apply and help us assess your compatibility with accelerate, we ask all prospective candidates to submit their CV and availability with the role they're applying for in the subject line – anticipating further instructions from accelerate.
