About this task

This Growth-stage payments company for mid-market companies (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a director Content Lead for an ongoing part-time engagement of 1–2 h a week. Which content works, why, and what to do next.

Workload peaks and dips, so a few fixed hours a week fit better than a full-time seat. It operates in regulated payments and lending, so a written trail for every decision matters.

The team sits in London. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. Evenings or weekends are fine, as long as the agreed weekly output is there.

What you deliver

  • Review the quarter's content by traffic, signups and assisted pipeline and recommend what to repeat.
  • Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day
  • A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends
  • Work logged against the agreed list, so the company contact can see progress without a call

What a week looks like

  • Tuesday: 15-minute check-in to agree the week's items
  • Monday: main working block (1 hours)
  • Wednesday: hand-off note with what shipped and what is open

Duration: 12 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.
