Main Responsibilities

You will deliver best-in-class, inspiring educational content for the diabetes community, co-produced in collaboration with people with diabetes. You will be responsible for end-to-end content production and management for Learning Zone and its associated channels, from writing briefs, budgeting and scheduling, to producing and reviewing content in a variety of formats: writing copy, sourcing images, filming & editing video/animation, audio/podcast recording, and creating simple quizzes. You will own and manage the digital content assets and course structures using the platform’s Learning Management System (LMS), including creating the content for cutting-edge interactive features such as app-style tools that will help users self-manage their diabetes in real world settings. You will use data, analytics and feedback to evaluate user patterns and outcomes, to iteratively improve and ensure best performance of content & functionality.

The Ideal Candidate

As a Content Manager focusing on digital education, you’ll have a demonstrable track record of delivering high-quality content solutions, that have sustained engagement over time and supported real world outcomes. You’ll have excellent verbal and written communication skills, good organisational skills, and experience of the processes for content development, production, budgeting and scheduling, review and amends- ideally in a health information or e-learning context. You’ll be a great team player with a positive can-do attitude, and you also have the ability to work independently and reliably using your own initiative. You’ll be able to demonstrate good editorial judgement, high attention to detail, creative flair, and experience working on complex high-quality content or marketing projects with busy schedules. You’ll have the ‘soft skills’ needed to engage and work with people from all walks of life, from patients to health professionals; and you’ll have a working knowledge of content production best practices that ensure content is performing well with an inclusive, accessible and effective user experience.
