Content Marketing Manager

Content Marketing Manager to Alva Labs
Think back to the day of your graduation. Imagine the excitement, the newly ironed clothes, the giggles. Now imagine the people standing next to you, your classmates. You had passed the same courses, with the same (sometimes slightly weird) professors. On paper, you were all equal. If you all applied for the same job you should all be equally successful right? Probably not! Background and experience is obviously relevant, you all have something with you from your education that will bring value. But that is not the whole story. This is what’s broken with hiring today. Companies focus on certain aspects (experience, education and background), and miss out on other really important things (the individual). This is where Alva comes in. We help companies look beyond the CV and recruit based on science. Join us, and come tell our story to the world.

Alva in a nutshell
Ever stumbled upon a personality test in a recruitment process? Alva Labs is a SaaS scale-up that offers a unique candidate assessment platform. We help companies build their organizations with the right people in the right place, in a fair, accurate and automated way. By combining state-of-the-art psychometrics, data science, and an obsession with candidate experience, we provide the needed tool for data-driven talent acquisition.

We are growing 2-3x per year and are in the exciting phase to launch Alva in new markets.

Why is this role important to us
We have a great product that is truly making a difference for our customers. Just take a look at what one of our customers says here (https://www.alvalabs.io/blog/why-seb-chose-alva-to-join-their-path-to-increased-diversity). But we need to let more people in on this not-so-secret secret on how to revolutionize the way of hiring. There are several absolutely incredible thought leaders in the house, such as Kajsa (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kajsaasplund/), Morgan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/morganpihl/), Malcolm (https://www.linkedin.com/in/malcolmburenstamlinder/) and Sofia (https://www.linkedin.com/in/sofia-palmelius-kolga-155a595a/). We think a great content marketer can convert their brains into great content, and through that really bring value to potential and existing clients. To be frank, at the end of the day we believe you will convert your content creation into dollars!

What will you do
In essence, your job is to tell stories that will inspire, engage, educate and convert our target audience. On the path to building a content machine you will work both very strategically with our brand and goals, and at the same time get to roll up your sleeves to get the content out to the world. Your daily tasks will of course vary greatly (and change over time as we grow), but here’s what we think you will focus the most on:

- Create & package compelling stories for an international audience.
- Run our content marketing efforts, from idea to publication. You’re more or less building a small media production company - planning our content, building a content calendar, coordinating production, setting deadlines and measuring effects.
- Optimize delivery & distribution - maximizing reach & repurposing content, using an SEO and PR mindset to increase reach.
- Work closely with other teams at Alva to find opportunities where quality content can help prospects & leads to move further down the sales funnel, or existing customers & users to become brand ambassadors.
- Work with internal content producers as their editor - coaching them on how to write & proofread. Sometimes you might even act as a ghostwriter for them.
- Ensure we have enough production resources, either through internal resources or by leveraging freelancers/agencies.


Who are you
- A true storyteller and you know how to write WELL.
- Ideally, an English native speaker, as all of our communication is currently in English. Swedish is not a requirement for this role.
- A strong project manager that can handle a lot of different stakeholders, having a structured & organized way of working.
- You have an eye for what looks good or not. Basic layout & design skills are welcome but not required.
- You have good knowledge of PR & SEO mechanics and how to put wings on content.
- You know what KPIs to track (and how to track them) to understand what content works best and prove ROI
- A creative mastermind (but with the planning skills of a neat-freak).


What have you done before
We have really high standards and are searching for that person that will dazzle us. What makes you great, however, isn’t necessarily a long experience or the perfect university degree. A background as a journalist/experienced content marketer will likely give you a head-start once you join, and having worked with content creation, brand storytelling or social media could be relevant. However, we truly believe that great people will find a way, regardless of previous experience. So if you’re interested and curious about the role - hit that apply button.
