Role summary

The Director, Content & Communications owns Adverity's content strategy, editorial direction, executive thought leadership, and PR/communications strategy end-to-end. The role leads a focused content team and is a working leader, hands-on with editorial direction, thought leadership programmes, and PR strategy, not just a strategic overseer. 

Primary accountability is category creation and market education, shaping how the market defines and talks about the space Adverity competes in, and building the market's understanding of the problem it solves.

• Own content strategy and editorial direction — the framework and standards flowing into campaigns, ABM, PMM, and thought leadership

• Lead executive thought leadership programmes for senior spokespeople
• Lead AEO strategy and share-of-voice growth through content, PR, and editorial output
• Set editorial standards and quality bar for all written marketing output
• Shape and evolve the agentic systems and processes supporting content, AEO optimisation, scheduling, and distribution
