We’re Hiring: Content Lead
Let’s speak plainly.
You’ve done your time in agency land.
You know what converts and what just looks good in a pitch deck.
You can write, concept, script, brief, analyse and publish without hand-holding.
You’ve been on the tools long enough to know where the dead ends are.
And now?
You’re ready to lead.
Not a bloated department.
Not a politics-heavy hierarchy.
A small, sharp pod of thinkers and doers - juniors hungry to learn, specialists who know their craft - and clients who genuinely care about the work they’re putting into the world.
We’re Humans of Purpose - a Certified B Corp digital agency, media platform and Academy supporting women facing barriers to employment into digital careers. We don’t just talk about impact. We measure it. We build it into the bones of our business.
We’re looking for a Content Lead who can deliver performance and purpose in the same breath.
Who You Are
You might be:
A strong junior stepping into mid-weight, ready to lead with guidance
Or a mid-weight ready to own a small team and step into real leadership
Either way, you:
Have 3+ years agency experience (essential)
Understand content strategy and execution
Know how to create content that converts - not just content that wins applause
Can get on the tools (Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, email platforms, CMS, analytics dashboards) and actually make things happen
Are confident briefing designers, videographers and creators - and stepping in when needed
Care about mentoring juniors and helping them lift their craft
Want to work somewhere that expects performance - and delivers meaning
You are commercially literate.
You are creatively sharp.
You are not precious.
You want to build something that matters.
What You’ll Actually Do
This is not a “strategic oversight only” role. It’s a player-coach role.
You will:
Lead content strategy and execution across a portfolio of purpose-driven clients
Build content calendars that are grounded in insight, not guesswork
Develop high-performing organic and paid content
Analyse what’s working - and pivot fast when it’s not
Coach and develop junior team members
Contribute to our own brand, podcast and thought leadership
Collaborate closely with strategy, client success and growth
You’ll own outcomes, not just outputs.
What Performance Means Here
We’re a B Corp.
We care about impact.
But we also care about results.
You’ll be measured on:
Growth and performance metrics across client accounts
Quality and clarity of strategy
Leadership and development of your pod
Contribution to a regenerative, high-performance team culture
This is a place for adults.
High trust. High accountability. No ego theatre.
Why This Role Is Different
At Humans of Purpose:
You won’t sell products you don’t believe in.
You won’t be asked to manufacture “purpose theatre.”
You’ll work with impact businesses, B Corps and organisations navigating real complexity.
Your work helps fund our Academy supporting women back into digital careers.
The commercial work powers the social impact.
And the social impact sharpens the commercial work.
It’s an ecosystem - not a slogan.
What You’ll Get
Real leadership opportunity (not token responsibility)
Direct access to founder-level thinking
A team that cares deeply about craft and culture
Clear growth pathway into Senior Content Lead or Head of Content
Competitive salary aligned to experience
Flexible, remote-first structure
The satisfaction of building work that performs and means something
If you’re tired of extractive agency culture.
If you’re ready to lead but still love getting your hands dirty.
If you want to build commercial excellence inside an impact-driven business.
We’d like to meet you.
Send us your CV, portfolio and a short note telling us why this role feels like the right next step.
Let’s build work that converts - and contributes.
If you’re the one - you’ll enjoy a hybrid/remote work environment, flexibility and a team you’ll never want to leave.
