Marketing Specialist job description linkedin

Ive been asked a few times for a Content Marketing Manager Job Description.

Apparently, this is a pretty hot category as LinkedIn reports more than 15,000 results for content marketing manager job description.

But that still pales in comparison to the more than 110,000 marketing manager job descriptions on Linkedin and the more than 18,000 social media manager positions out there.

Ive written before about how to put together your all-starcontent marketing teamand the resources required to get the job done.

In the end it comes down to 3 core content marketing skills. You need to have experience:

1. Creating content people actually want
2. Sharing content on the channels they use
3. Measuring the results of content marketing activities

But I know that sometimes, the good folks in HR need a formal job description to help get the process rolling and to start looking at all those great candidates that will become your next content marketing rockstar. So here is the job description Ive shared with a few folks lately to help them.

Let me know what you think. Or if you would add anything to your own content marketing manager job description.
