Head of Content
Full-time | £35,000-£45,000 | South WarwickshireOverview: We’re looking for a Head of Content to provide strategic leadership across a growing organisation’s content and audience operation.
This role exists to bring clarity, focus, and structure to a complex, multi-channel content environment. It is a senior position responsible for defining direction and priorities - not for day-to-day execution.
You will shape how content supports audience engagement, growth, and commercial outcomes across platforms.
What You’ll Be Responsible For: Setting Direction
* Defining what content is created and why

* Establishing clear content pillars rooted in audience needs

* Ensuring content decisions are insight-led and commercially aware

* Balancing inspirational storytelling with practical value

Planning & Structure
* Building and maintaining a forward-looking content roadmap

* Planning content months ahead with production realism in mind

* Ensuring major content outputs align with wider business objectives

* Creating systems that make content easier to deliver at scale

Commercial Enablement
* Working with commercial stakeholders to shape credible content opportunities

* Designing frameworks that allow partners to integrate naturally

* Assessing ideas for feasibility, audience value, and brand fit

Platform Strategy
* Deciding how content is distributed across channels

* Ensuring content is designed to be reused and adapted

* Maintaining consistency of messaging without duplication

Measurement & Improvement
* Defining success metrics that actually matter

* Reviewing performance with relevant stakeholders

* Using insight to continuously refine content direction

Working Style & Scope: This is a strategic leadership role focused on decision-making and systems rather than execution. You will not be expected to write long-form content, edit publications, manage social media accounts, upload content to a CMS, or operate as a traditional editor-in-chief. Instead, you will collaborate with a flexible delivery team that may include a managing editor or delivery lead, freelance creators, social and email specialists, operational support, and commercial stakeholders - providing clear direction and oversight to ensure content is delivered effectively and consistently.
About You: We’re less concerned with job titles and more interested in how you think.
You’re likely to have experience in content strategy, audience development, media, marketing, or brand-led environments, and you’re comfortable operating at a strategic level.
You’ll bring:
* Proven experience shaping content and audience strategy

* A strong audience-first mindset

* Commercial awareness without being sales-driven

* Confidence challenging ideas that don’t scale or add value

* Comfort working with freelancers and specialist partners

* A systems-led approach to building sustainable content operations#
