Senior Content Manager

Simon Data was founded in 2015 by a team of successful serial entrepreneurs with a passion for transforming data to drive real-world results. We are building a best-in-class enterprise Customer Data Platform that empowers marketers to create personalized data-driven experiences for the customers. We’re scrappy problem solvers who believe in tackling big challenges with disruptive thinking and giving our customers the support they need to deliver great next-generation experiences at scale.

At Simon, we firmly believe that business success starts and ends with people. We all do our best work when we are surrounded by other friendly top performers who want to succeed together. This attitude is core to our values. When you trust your team, invest in their development, and give them ownership, great things happen.

Quality content is critical to Simon’s growth and establishing our brand as a leader in the CDP space. We are looking for someone with a player-coach mentality: you should be willing to put pen to paper (or…hands to keys) when necessary but equally important, we are looking for someone who has experience managing the workflow and output of contract writers, and who is excited to play a foundational role in shaping our overall content strategy.
