Overview Black & White Zebra publishes a range of engaging content to help professionals win at work and build thriving communities. We are seeking a Senior Content Manager to lead the content program for The Digital Project Manager, our flagship publication for delivery leaders. The role involves leveraging AI to work smarter, deliver faster, and lead better in fast-moving tech teams. You will manage a team of editors, own a cross-channel content strategy, and ensure our output is useful, credible, and performance-driven.
You will align community conversations with topics that matter to our audience, shape editorial methodology, build scalable systems, and repurpose content across formats.

Who you are: a cross-channel content strategist who can scale programs, an AI enthusiast, a subject-matter expert in project management and PM tools, and a collaborative leader who thrives in cross-functional environments.
Responsibilities

Extend stories across editorial, podcasts, newsletters, video, social, and events; repurpose content for maximum impact.
Elevate content quality, innovation, and testing: ensure site-wide content quality and clarity; contribute first-person content on high-priority topics; participate in interviews, podcasts, and digital PR opportunities; test and scale new formats.
Embed and scale AI-powered content systems: integrate AI across the content workflow and coach editors to leverage earned media and thought leadership opportunities in partnership with the Digital PR Lead.
Grow and empower a high-performing content team: mentor editors and contributors, foster a culture of curiosity and experimentation, and develop internal experts for earned media.
Your Skillset Includes
5–7+ years in organic content strategy, editorial leadership, or content marketing with a track record of scaling programs
Strong background in project management or digital delivery with experience using Asana, Jira, Wrike, Trello, ClickUp, and cross-functional teamwork
Editorial judgment and user-first mindset with experience producing high-impact content at scale
