Day-to-day they commission and edit long-form and short-form content, define channel and distribution strategies, oversee content calendars, and collaborate closely with marketing, product, and communications teams. In B2B contexts they often own thought leadership programmes, event content, and lead-generation content; in brand-led roles they may also oversee tone of voice, storytelling frameworks, and creative direction.
