Content Strategist

About the role :

At Leap, we’re building one of the most ambitious content ecosystems in the career and study abroad space. we believe content is more than marketing - it’s how we educate, inspire, and earn trust at scale.

The content strategist is the storyteller-in-chief. You’ll decide what stories we tell, how we tell them, and why they matter. From deep research to writing to shaping the final edit : you’ll be the creative engine driving Leap’s YouTube, Instagram, and content being used .

This role is for someone who lives & breathes content — who watches a reel and instantly thinks “why did this work?”, who writes like a creator, not a copywriter, and who can turn a counselor’s advice into something students binge.

What you’ll be doing

• Find content opportunities — ideas students actually care about — through research, insights, and trends.
• Write scripts and stories that are smart, simple, and scroll-stopping.
• Collaborate with video editors, designers, and on-screen talent to bring ideas to life.
• Convert long-form videos (like masterclasses) into short-form hits and evergreen explainers.
• Analyse performance data (watch time, retention, engagement) and use it to shape your next big idea.
• Build repeatable content IPs — formats that scale, not one-offs.
• Own the entire pipeline → ideation → scripting → storyboarding → publishing → analysis.
