Global Content Team Lead
Adyen’s Global Marketing team is located in our Amsterdam HQ. It consists of multiple disciplines working together to enable local marketing teams around the world with the resources, strategic frameworks, and subject matter expertise they need to be successful at driving demand generation and retention programs. Our in-house creative studio is responsible for bringing these programs to life through creation of assets for events, online videos, case studies, blogs, and more.
The studio consists of two sub-teams: on the one hand there’s the Design team that takes care of visuals and on the other there’s our Content team, consisting of writers. We’re looking for an experienced team lead to steer that writing arm of our studio.
What you'll do
- Plan and coordinate the production of projects from brief to launch in collaboration with the Studio Leadership Team.
- Develop a content strategy aimed at translating complex product and commercial propositions into easy to understand, memorable experiences that drive action with our business target audiences. This includes but is not limited to guides, case studies, web & digital, videos, events (internal & external), and social content.
- Inspire and mentor the content team, reviewing, editing, and conceptualising work that is on-brand and aligned to our commercial goals.
- Be the guardian of the Adyen tone of voice and brand guidelines and be responsible for evolving these in accordance with business needs.
- Collaborate closely with our local markets to understand their content requirements, turning these into actionable plans and creative activations.
- Work with agency partners and freelancers to deliver a consistently high standard of creative work.
Who you are
- You embody the Adyen Formula, love to collaborate, and believe winning is more important than ego.
- You have 7+ years of experience directly leading content teams, you know how to manage stakeholders, and you're familiar with leading & influencing across regions and timezones.
- Have a passion for investigating and solving customer problems (both our B2B target audience as well as our internal ‘clients’).
- Ability to grasp complex, technical subjects and distill them into meaningful stories, collateral, and messaging.
- A brand thinker, you understand strategy, brand positioning, and how to create effective and persuasive creative that is aligned to commercial goals.
- Detail oriented and able to thrive in a high-paced, dynamic environment.
- Able to work with a high degree of autonomy.
- You have full professional proficiency (written and verbal) in English.
Other Job Details
- This role is based out of the Amsterdam office. We have a hybrid workplace and value in-person collaboration; we do not offer remote-only roles.
