Content Manager Location: Hybrid – 3 days in our Bedfordshire HQ / 2 days wherever you do your best thinking
 


Let’s Start with You.

You’ve got that rare mix — creative flair, strategic smarts, and a knack for getting things done (without breaking a sweat). You know how to take a brief and turn it into content that makes people stop scrolling, start reading, and actually care.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, read on — because we’re looking for a Content Manager to help us bring brilliant ideas to life for some of the biggest names in food, drink and hospitality.

You’ll be leading day-to-day content delivery, guiding a small but mighty team, and collaborating with strategists, designers and performance pros to make sure everything we create doesn’t just look good — it works.

This is a hybrid role — three days in our Bedfordshire HQ, two days remote — with a few adventures to client shoots and events sprinkled in for good measure.


What You’ll Be Doing (and Loving)

? Turning Strategy into Stories

  • Transform big-picture thinking into content plans that hit all the right notes.

  • Lead brainstorms and planning sessions where ideas flow freely (and coffee even more so).

  • Keep your eye on what’s new and next in content, formats and storytelling.

?? Creating, Shaping, Perfecting

  • Oversee brilliant content across blogs, socials, newsletters, case studies, email campaigns and more.

  • Review and refine work from your team so every piece feels sharp, clear and on-brand.

  • Collaborate with designers, videographers and motion magicians to make ideas pop.

  • Make sure everything aligns with each client’s voice, values and vibe.

? Measuring, Learning, Leveling Up

  • Partner with the Performance team to see what’s landing and what could land harder.

  • Turn insights into action — because good content never stands still.

? Leading by Example

  • Guide and mentor your Senior and Content Executives — helping them grow their craft (and their confidence).

  • Keep the team motivated, supported and buzzing with ideas.

  • Help build a culture that’s open, brave, creative and always accountable.

? Owning the Client Relationship

  • Be the go-to content partner for your clients.

  • Present ideas and reports that make strategy feel exciting, not spreadsheet-y.

  • Jump into pitches and proposals with energy, insight and great storytelling.


What You’ll Bring to the Table

  • 4+ years creating or managing content in an agency or B2B environment.

  • A solid track record of taking projects from “idea” to “launched and loved.”

  • Experience leading or mentoring others (bonus points if you genuinely enjoy it).

  • Excellent writing chops and editorial instinct.

  • Comfort with tools like Asana, Airtable, Brandwatch or Sprout — or a willingness to learn.

  • Curiosity, creativity and a passion for food, drink and hospitality.


Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • You’ll help shape campaigns for brands people actually talk about.

  • You’ll join a team that values ideas, initiative and good humour as much as KPIs.

  • You’ll collaborate with brilliant minds who’ll challenge and champion you in equal measure.

  • You’ll have space to experiment, grow and make a genuine impact.
