Location: Remote

Reports to: Senior SEO Manager

Job Description

The Author Content Manager sources and communicates with authors, manages deadlines, and ensures high-quality content delivery for clients in an agency setting.

This role involves onboarding new authors, performing initial edits, and collaborating with clients to match the right authors to their needs. Strong organizational and editing skills are essential, with the ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously. You will ensure a seamless workflow from author selection to content completion.

Responsibilities

Content planning & management for new AUQ clients, each client is publishing between 4 to 6 articles per month.

This includes:

• Sourcing high-quality authors
• Editing content and providing feedback to authors to promote long-term collaboration
• Working directly with the clients to clarify author requirements and improve the feedback loop for content deliverables (likely 1 client-facing meeting per month, per client)
• Ongoing content management
• Managing deadlines using Monday.com PM tool and internal content calendars
• Growing a network of go-to authors for each client
• Regularly asynchronous communication to SEO managers via email and Slack

Remote Work Expectations

This role is 100% remote, so you’re free to choose the working hours that are best for your schedule. That said, most of AUQ’s clients are based in the U.S. in PST and EST time zones. This person must be able to communicate with clients and authors in a timely manner.

If you’re outside of these time zones, we ask that you check Slack and email each night to make sure if there’s no urgent requests. If there’s anything you can answer quickly, please do that – or just let the client know you’re working on it and will get to it soon.

Ideally, the content calendar will be managed so tightly that urgent requests will be rare, but may still happen on occasion.
