About the Role
As the saying goes, Content is King. And at WebMechanix, were looking to appoint some Royalty to the Head of Content & Community position.

Youll lead the strategy around distributed content, and activating a growing community of marketers.

The primary task at hand?

Growing a premium newsletter, from a few thousand to over 100,000 subscribers within a year.

Alongside that, you will be tasked with growing our organic social following to 50,000 or more.

While the goals are set, theres plenty of flexibility to how you get there.

Were looking for someone interested in building the program, not following orders.

Youre Bob Ross, and were a blank canvas. Were looking for you to show us how to draw the mountain tops.

But unlike Bob, you dont have to be alone.

You'll lead and grow a skilled team of content creators, community managers, and social media specialists, setting new standards for content and community engagement.
