Content Strategist, Investment Bank
Role: Content Strategist (1756)
Client: Top-tier Global Investment Bank
Location: New York, NY
Type: Direct Hire
Overview:
The Hired Guns are looking for a Content Strategist (part editor/journalist, part web guru, part producer/project manager) with experience working on cross-functional projects, to fill a key fulltime role as the content-generator-in-chief for a global investment bank’s web properties, newsletters, and print communications. This is a challenging, high-visibility opportunity that will open a lot of doors.
Gun Profile:
The right Gun for this job is a keen strategic and analytical thinker, an excellent writer, a confident speaker, and a natural with technology. You’ve gotten your hands dirty (figuratively speaking) working on company websites, not only writing but also publishing content, and maybe even building and formatting pages. Bonus points if you’ve managed or edited a website or blog. You have written marketing collateral and worked with print production people as well, and also are strong in creating and delivering presentations.
Personality-wise, you have a mind like a steel trap: an unparalleled attention to detail, combined with the ability to juggle multiple tasks and keep a variety of projects on track. You have a knack for distilling a problem to its core essence, and then shifting gears to communicate with people from different functions (technology, marketing, creative, design, and on and on) in terms that they can understand and act upon. “Proactive” has become a cliche, but you’re here to remind your colleagues what it really means: seeing what needs doing, and doing it. Without haranguing and hand-holding from above. You have an innate intellectual curiosity that compels you to learn as much as you can about every company and industry you’ve worked in. You have a history of getting things done and being recognized for it. (And can tell us all about it.)
The hard skills we’re looking for are implicit in the above, but we’re laying them out anyway: absolute bang-up expert knowledge of MS Office (all the pieces – Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access/other database, and maybe some we don’t know about), solid familiarity with basic HTML and with CMS/electronic publishing systems of some kind, exposure to web usage reporting and analytics tools, and great proofreading and editing skills. You’ve got an affinity for user experience, a strong design sensibility, and a good layperson’s familiarity with web technologies and trends (all of which you can deploy to understand what your technical colleagues are saying and attain a certain level of geek cred in their eyes). And we’ll say it again: excellent writing skills. Bachelors degree minimum, with at least four years of work experience (exposure to the financial services industry a strong plus).
Nitty Gritty:
In a nutshell, you’ll be responsible for virtually all of the content aimed at internal audiences and corporate alumni via online and offline channels, primarily, of course, the Web. Specific duties include: planning, organizing, writing and publishing content, contributing to the growth strategy for the firm’s alumni network website and newsletters, and generating ideas for improving the firm’s public-facing site and its underlying websites.
Collaboration with groups such as technology, design/creative, marketing and corporate communications, front-line business units and HR will be constant and intense, as the information you put out to the world touches on all of these areas. You’ll be particularly connected with the technical team who build the content management system (CMS) that publishes content to all the websites, as you prioritize business requirements and provide feedback on the CMS.
Net-Net:
This is a great growth opportunity for a hard-working, highly intelligent content person who can hit the ground running.

Foodie Editor/Content Strategist
Role: The Foodie (Editorial/Product Visionary) (1759)
Client: Major News Portal
Location: New York, NY
Type: Long-term Freelance
Overview:
The Hired Guns have been tapped by a long-time client to find an editor/editorial strategist who loves and lives food, wine, and dining. They’re looking for someone to build a team and create a voice and strategy for a new site/blog that’s all about your greatest passion in all the world!
Gun Profile:
You’re the gourmand. When it comes to selecting restaurants or wine, all eyes turn to you. You write about it compulsively, but more importantly, you live it. And have a very distinct POV about what needs to be written and shared about it. In fact, you know where the white space is in a very crowded universe … that missing je ne sais quoi amid the cacophony of websites, blogs, magazines, TV shows, books, and all the other outlets covering all things food. Alas, perhaps you’re trapped inside a media machine that has big budgets but is terrified of trying new ideas, and you don’t have the bank to launch a new property by yourself. If this sounds like you – and you have the fervor and experience to run this baby like it’s your own dime on the line, then this gig most definitely could be for you!
Nitty-Gritty:
Food. It’s everywhere, and it’s become a celebrity in its own right. Our client wants someone with a fresh approach that will keep people coming back to the tasty web buffet only you know how to create. You have a recipe in mind for the ultimate gastronomic media experience – replete with a tone and voice that will capture the imagination (and eyeballs) of the world. You have a gut instinct for the right mix of ingredients that will bake up into a deliciously compelling brand, one capable of becoming nothing less than the dominant foodie destination for the next decade and beyond.
You’ll hand-pick and manage a team of knowledgeable bloggers who aren’t just reporting on the conversation, but moving it. Ability to generate online buzz, rock an amazing editorial calendar, and manage a budget are musts, of course. An existing footprint in the food space and a great Rolodex of solid PR contacts are major pluses. If you can also be the talking head and represent the brand as a whole, even better, so TV/Video experience (accompanied by a vivid and engaging on-air persona) is very much preferred.
(Note, if you don’t quite have the experience to be the lead dog on this team, but think you would be great as one of the bloggers for the property, please send us a note, with “Foodie Blogger” in the subject line, detailing why you’re the next Martha, hyper-focused on Heirloom Tomatoes, or the complete Wine Aficionado.)
Inside Skinny:
Let us be absolutely clear: a lot rides on the ideas you have coming in. The client sees the potential of the foodie space and has the marketing and development muscle, but you’re the one who has to figure out how to cook up a differentiated property in this densely packed space.
Net-Net:
If you have the gourmet gusto to build a new digitally-driven product from scratch out of your brain (kind of like your grandma’s beef stew), then we want to talk to you!
How to Apply:
Please email your cover letter and resume to foodiegig@thehiredguns.com.
