We have an exciting opportunity for a Content and Brand Manager at Eversheds Sutherland (US) LLP. We are searching for someone who wants to be a valued contributor and member of a talented and dynamic team of lawyers, paralegals and business professionals.
The Content and Brand Manager is a hybrid brand, content, and social media role designed to support the Director of Communications & Brand in building and executing the firm's brand narrative across channels. This is a senior individual contributor position that operates at both the strategic and executional level — owning brand content direction, stewarding the firm's voice and editorial standards, and providing strategic social media input that elevates and integrates the firm's content across digital platforms.
This role was designed to meet the firm at a moment of brand growth and team transition. The ideal candidate brings strong editorial instincts, brand strategy experience, and meaningful social media fluency — and is comfortable operating in an environment where the brand program is being actively built, not just maintained. They will work closely with the Director, the digital marketing team, and social media team to ensure brand content and social storytelling are cohesive, strategic, and connected to firm priorities.
This is a role for a strategic communicator who can move between upstream brand thinking and hands-on content creation — someone who brings their own point of view, exercises strong editorial judgment, and thrives in a fast-moving, high-expectation professional services environment.
Responsibilities and Duties:
Brand Content Strategy & Thought Leadership
- Partner with the Director to develop and execute a firmwide content strategy that reflects brand priorities, practice group strengths, and attorney expertise.
- Translate business and strategic priorities into compelling content narratives, themes, and campaigns across channels.
- Lead the development of thought leadership content including client alerts, newsletters, reports, and leadership-driven editorial programs.
- Support initiatives designed to activate attorney voices and build the firm's external profile.
Brand Voice & Editorial Stewardship
- Serve as a primary steward of the firm's brand voice, tone, and messaging across all content touchpoints.
- Review, edit, and approve high-visibility materials including thought leadership, web content, client-facing publications, and firm communications.
- Develop and maintain editorial standards, style guidelines, and brand guardrails that ensure consistency without slowing execution.
- Provide editorial direction and quality control across content produced by internal staff, attorneys, and external partners.
Social Media Strategy & Oversight
- Help set strategic direction for the firm's social media presence, with a primary focus on LinkedIn and Instagram.
- Develop monthly and quarterly social content plans that reduce ad hoc posting and improve narrative cohesion across platforms.
- Drive amplification of PR wins, thought leadership, leadership content, and employer brand stories through social channels.
- Track and report on social media performance, translating insights into actionable recommendations.
- Support attorney LinkedIn enablement in coordination with the Director and communications team.
Digital Content & SEO GEO Optimization
- Apply SEO and GEO best practices to content planning and execution to maximize discoverability and engagement.
- Partner with the digital marketing team to optimize content structure, metadata, and performance across web and digital platforms.
- Use performance insights to inform content strategy and continuous improvement.
Content Lifecycle & Governance
- Own the content lifecycle from creation through publication, maintenance, and retirement.
- Conduct periodic audits of content and collateral to ensure accuracy, relevance, and brand alignment.
- Establish and manage processes for approvals, version control, and updates in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
Creative Oversight
- Provide creative direction and brand standards oversight to internal creative staff and outsourced design resources.
- Ensure visual outputs align with brand standards and content objectives without serving as a hands-on designer.
- Act as a quality control point for creative work across content and brand initiatives.

Education:
- Bachelor's degree required; preferred concentration in communications, journalism, marketing, English, or a related field.
