This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Content Manager based in New Zealand.
We’re looking for an experienced content professional to take ownership of content strategy, editorial quality, and measurable results for a successful software product business. In a landscape where AI makes producing first drafts easier than ever, this role focuses on creating content that is genuinely valuable, accurate, engaging, and worth publishing. You’ll shape editorial priorities, guide a small team of writers, and use your judgment to raise the quality of both new and existing content. You’ll also combine AI-assisted creation with hands-on editing and optimization to improve visibility across traditional search engines and emerging AI-powered search platforms. Working closely with leadership, developers, and product teams, you’ll turn complex technical knowledge into clear, accessible content. This is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership, experiment with new approaches, and connect your decisions directly to business outcomes.
