A day in the life 

It’s Friday, the end of the week. Your team of freelance content managers across 15 different markets has been busy executing the weekly goals: auditing the scope of work from new assignments, creating new projects for their writers, and moving content through the publishing process with the help of your content assistants. Today, your job is to ensure everything is on track. You double-check with each content manager to confirm they're executing the workload properly and flag any issues that need resolution to your internal Leads.

Mid-morning, a content manager flags an issue in the Slack channel with one of the articles in progress. You review the situation and start diagnosing the problem—is it a user error, a content issue, or a product bug? After some investigation, you determine it's a product bug. You promptly create a ticket for the product team and escalate the issue in the Slack channel, making sure the team is informed and the next steps are clear.

Your focus throughout the week is managing communication with the content managers to ensure deadlines are being met and the client’s goals are achieved. Regular check-ins with your Strategic Customer Success Manager (CSM) Lead are key, as you align on client priorities (fiscal and operational), set deadlines, and manage any escalations that come up. The CSM Lead acts as a buffer between the operations team and the client, keeping the client shielded from day-to-day issues, as they prefer to stay out of the operational details.

It’s month-end, and over 500 articles have been successfully published. Now, it’s time for the financial review. You download the data, audit it for any exceptions, and clean it up for the client’s invoice review. 

At the end of the day, you wrap up by syncing with your internal Leads, making sure any outstanding issues are addressed. After a productive day, you close your laptop and enjoy a well-deserved moment of relaxation.

Sounds good?

We’re looking forward to your application! :)
