About Betterment

About the Role:

At Betterment, we’re building more than a financial technology company; we’re developing a digital personal finance hub to change how people think about their finances. Take on this role, and you’ll have the chance to shape the future of our content as part of the overall Betterment experience.

You’re the type of person who believes in the power of rich content experiences. You think like an editor-in-chief, and you're excited to build, own, and improve a library of content. One that helps people understand investing and personal finance in language that real live people can understand. 

You think about the architecture of the owned content experience just as much as you think about the written word. You have rich experience in SEO, social media, but you want your focus to be on the content strategy itself—how everyday execution in writing, video, and audio creates big picture outcomes across an editorial experience.

You've seen the power of engaging content that's made a difference in how you feel about a company, and you're ready to bring that experience to our world as well. You want to lead the growth of Betterment’s content library for prospects and clients across our three business lines: Betterment retail, our 401(k) business, and Betterment for Advisors. The content you create and manage will help educate clients about investments, retirement plans, and savings strategies. It will help educate advisors and plan sponsors about our B2B offerings, and help 401(k) plan sponsors educate their employees on financial wellness.

This role is remote eligible. Colorado has an annual starting salary of $94,500, a competitive equity package, health, dental and vision benefits, and a 401(k) offering. This job may also be eligible for variable compensation in the form of an incentive bonus. The actual pay may be higher depending on your skills, qualifications, and experience. 

A Day in the Life: 

• The Content Marketing Manager will be a key member of Web Experience, which is a cross-functional squad of designers, developers, and content managers producing digital content for each of Betterment’s business lines.
• The Content Marketing Manager’s goal is to grow Betterment’s omni-channel marketing effectiveness by developing a content approach that creates a rich, educational customer journey for each of our audiences.
• Working with colleagues in Communications, Product, Compliance, Creative, and Legal, the Web Content Manager will grow our content library to be highly effective.
• In collaboration with our Analytics and Product teams, the Web Content Manager will lead the insights narrative on how content is performing, and how effective it is in our customer journey.
• Will work closely to define requests of our Creative team and Investing teams for creating high-quality content that brings our voice to life.

What We’re Looking For: 

• Experience as a content editor for a website.
• Strong editorial skills with an understanding of the nuances of brand voice across various audiences.
• A background and affinity for B2B content marketing and lead generation, with a deep appreciation for B2B sales and servicing processes
• Extensive knowledge of HTML, CSS, and content marketing software, like HubSpot, Marketo, Contently, Contentful, Intercom (or other similar chat solutions).
• High competence in web analytics and analytics software (e.g. Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Looker). You should be able to interpret the numbers and determine next steps for content improvement.
• Experience managing and creating a diverse array of website content, from editorial blog development to gated content offers and landing pages.
• A history of managing content categorization and optimization for a blog.
• A history of managing a team of freelance contributors or a content agency.
• High level of financial planning knowledge. Must be familiar with the robo-advisory space, and the retirement space. 
• Must be a team player who works well under pressure in an extremely fast-paced, multitasking environment
