Content Marketing Manager

Content Marketing Manager Overview:

As we scale, we’re looking for a versatile Content Marketing Manager who can balance creativity with impact. In this role, you’ll be the dedicated content owner on our marketing team—crafting compelling stories, producing assets that fuel campaigns across every stage of the funnel, and ensuring everything we publish strengthens the Incident IQ brand. 

You’ll thrive here if you’re a self-starter with a strategic mindset—someone who can take a theme, run with it, and deliver polished work that moves the needle. Collaboration is key: you’ll partner with product marketing, demand generation, and creative teammates to bring ideas to life, while using data and feedback to refine and optimize. The ideal candidate is a strong writer with experience turning complex ideas into clear, engaging content that drives pipeline and positions us as a thought leader in K-12.

This role serves as a foundational content position with strong potential to evolve into even more strategic roles as the team grows. This position is hybrid-preferred in our Atlanta office but offers flexibility for remote candidates.
