• You’ll champion creativity and innovation by bringing bold, out-of-the-box ideas to how we share the Zellis story and brand promise across digital channels, customer communications and events.

• Engagement: Views, downloads, time on page.
• Marketing pipeline: Attribution and content performance optimisation.
• Sales enablement usage: Adoption and usage of sales tools.
• Content velocity: On time delivery of content per project, campaign or solution launch.
• Messaging consistency: Adoption of and alignment with messaging frameworks.
• SEO: Performance of web content and strategic content assets.

Skills & experience

• 7+ years’ experience in B2B content marketing, ideally within SaaS, HR tech, or enterprise technology sectors.
• Proven ability to craft content that influences decision makers and fuels the buyer journey across awareness, consideration, and conversion.
• A creative mindset. You love finding new ways to tell stories that cut through.
• Experience partnering with demand gen and product marketing teams to deliver measurable outcomes.
