Senior Content Lead / Content Lead

About Us : We are a boutique content studio that believes in creating content while being mindful of its impact on clients, partners, and employees. We want to add value- both to the clients and ourselves. All for fun and flexibility, we create content across platforms and media. WordBerries was founded with immense love for words and how they can give shape to brand stories. We don’t stop till we have cracked the brand’s content requirements, and we have never missed a deadline!

About the role :

Once the order is in, you take over. You are the end-to-end project manager beyond this point; hence, ownership is paramount. You are driving the brief and ensuring it is delivered as promised within timelines. Hence, you are the critical link between the client and our creator team. In popular parlance, this is called client-servicing. However, at WB, we believe it will also need to have an editorial and research-oriented mindset to understand briefs.

Translate client requirements to the creators and guide and coach them to perform at their best. Once they have created the content, you need to provide them with structural and tonality feedback, check if the delivery is as per the brief and non-plagiarised, , grammar, language, etc. is in place, monitor the progress of the project and provide regular updates to the client so that the project is completed on time and meets all requirements.

In case of a crisis ( of course, they happen) or perhaps to satisfy your creative urges, whatever it is, this role will also require you to write occasionally.

With the advent of AI, we see this role evolving with a blend of man + machine
