GumGum is looking for a thoughtful and organized Content Manager to help bring our brand story to life across channels through clear messaging, strong storytelling, and consistent execution. This person will play a key role in owning our content strategy and turning it into action, managing our calendar, driving content creation across formats (blogs, articles, newsletters, short and long-form video, social posts, infographics, and more), and working closely with internal teams to ensure we’re capturing the right stories and sharing them in meaningful ways.
We’re a fast-moving team that values creativity, efficiency, and collaboration.

Most importantly, you’re curious, organized, and excited about building a content engine that’s as useful to sales as it is engaging to our market.
Note: GumGum fosters a flexible work environment, offering GumGummers the ability to work either in-office or remotely/from home. However, for occasional in-person collaboration, we kindly ask that this position be located within a 'commutable' distance to our office
