How to Apply for Senior Digital Content Manager (FTC 12 months)

at Fastmarkets Ltd

🏢 About Fastmarkets Ltd

Fastmarkets Ltd operates in a unique niche, providing market insights and networking solutions specifically for volatile, opaque markets like commodities and energy. This makes them a critical information source in sectors where transparency is limited. Working here offers the chance to create content that directly influences high-stakes strategic decisions for global businesses.

About This Role

This 12-month contract role involves leading an in-house creative team while driving innovation through AI tools and new content formats. You'll be responsible for optimizing workflows to meet SLAs and ensuring consistent, high-quality output across media. The role is impactful because you'll shape how complex market data is communicated to professionals making billion-dollar decisions.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with reviewing creative briefs and prioritizing projects to meet SLAs, followed by team check-ins to foster collaboration in the remote environment. You'd spend time directing data visualization projects, experimenting with AI tools for content creation, and collaborating with internal stakeholders to ensure content aligns with market insights needs.
