Senior Content Marketing Manager

At 12twenty, we believe great content does more than fill a calendar. Great content builds trust, shapes markets, and drives growth.

We’re looking for a hands-on content marketer with exceptional writing skills who can transform data, customer insights, and industry trends into thought leadership that people genuinely want to read and share.

This role owns the editorial engine behind our marketing efforts. You’ll create compelling content, manage our editorial calendar, and ensure every piece of content supports our brand, demand generation, search visibility, and customer education goals.

Our messaging strategy is established. Your role is to bring it to life through outstanding storytelling, thoughtful execution, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

If you’re energized by turning research into reports, webinars into campaigns, and data into stories that move people to action, we’d love to meet you.
