Test Double is hiring a
Senior Content Manager

The Senior Content Manager at Test Double drives content creation and execution, edits and coaches content contributors, and crafts content that impacts growth.

Test Double’s mission is to improve the broken industry of software development. Empathetic and helpful marketing helps accomplish this goal by sparking interest, building trust, and inspiring change. The Senior Content Manager focuses on designing and implementing content strategies to grow brand awareness and fuel sales and recruitment enablement. Success is found in this role at the intersection of content creation, brand voice, and getting stuff done.

• Our brand was built on sharing bold opinions empathetically and grew organically by delighting clients and employees resulting in a virtuous cycle of referrals
• Our marketing uses thought leadership and content as a foundation for sparking interest and building trust by helping others who care about the same things we do
• Our content reflects an authentic, vulnerable experience of software and its limitations

Are you tired of being a content cog in a demand gen wheel? This role allows you to design a content creation strategy to support both brand and demand—plus implement it the way you think is best. You’ll play a critical role in developing content and campaigns that are relatable and punchy. And you’ll help the marketing director build a more human demand gen model focused on content strategy to drive sustainable growth aligned to mission, values, and culture.

Focus areas within this include creative strategy; creating powerful content to inspire, educate, and spur action; and getting things done across editorial, design, distribution, and promotion. You will flex your storytelling and problem solving capabilities in large content projects. You’ll also manage the day-to-day content pipeline and be an empathetic editor to creative and analytical senior software developers working in Ruby/Rails, JavaScript/React, and DevOps, among others. Direct technical writing is not required, but you will distill complex technical ideas into catchy messaging.

You’ll work on a team where brand voice is important, we take an indie rock approach to tools, and we’re willing to push the boundaries of B2B marketing.
