The role is fully remote. East Coast candidates preferred.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

The American Red Cross is seeking a highly motivated, strategic, and exceptionally organized Sr. Manager, Digital Content Strategy & Operations to lead digital content strategy, experience optimization, and operations across key Biomedical Services digital properties, including RedCrossBlood.org and the Blood Donor App.

This is a high-impact role for a leader who can move comfortably between strategy and execution—someone who can take complex, ambiguous initiatives, synthesize information, create clarity and structure, and drive the details through completion.

A significant initial focus will be serving as the content strategy and project management lead for a major organizational website redesign and re-platform. The role will help guide the organization through content strategy, information architecture, content migration, localization/multilingual requirements, stakeholder alignment, implementation, quality assurance, launch, and post-launch optimization. This individual will work across departments and lines of service to help create a transformational digital experience.

At the same time, this leader will own the day-to-day digital content operating model for RedCrossBlood.org, the Blood Donor App, and other digital properties. They will serve as the central project manager and content strategist for digital requests, translating business objectives into compelling digital experiences and coordinating cross-functional teams through discovery, UX, content, design, SEO, accessibility, implementation, QA, and launch.

The ideal candidate is hungry for impact, highly accountable, intellectually curious, and energized by complexity. They can see the big picture while relentlessly managing the details. They know how to ask the right questions, bring structure to ambiguity, influence stakeholders, and keep work moving. They are equally comfortable developing a strategy, facilitating a working session, building a project plan, reviewing a wireframe, editing content, analyzing performance data, and working in a CMS to ensure the work is implemented correctly.

• Serve as a hands-on digital content leader who can establish the strategy and ensure execution meets a high standard.

Data, Analytics & Continuous Optimization
