Content & Communications Manager

Organizational Overview

At SERI, we consider ourselves “Champions of Electronics Sustainability,” and we champion

and drive the sustainable use, reuse, and recycling of electronics globally. To accomplish this

vision and mission, SERI programs contribute to systems-building, skill-building, or collective

action efforts. We do that through a range of programs that work toward a vision that by 2035,

10-year lifespans of electronics will be common, and all materials reused at end-of-life.

Position Overview

The Content & Communications Manager is an experienced communications manager and

writer, responsible for what SERI says, when it says it, and who says it. This spans campaigns,

social media, and all SERI programs. SERI is a small organization, and this person leads from

the front with strategic instincts and a hands-on work style, capable of sitting down and

producing a compelling campaign email, a sharp LinkedIn post, or a credible press release by

researching and gathering context independently.

This is a Manager-level role that reports to the Director of Marketing and oversees contracted

writers and content execution, working closely with program leads, other members of the

Marketing team, and external partners including creative vendors and freelance contributors.

The ideal candidate brings the judgment to set and maintain SERI's voice and message across

all output, whether produced directly or through managing contributors. At SERI, good work

happens through close collaboration.

Key Outcomes of this Position

• SERI's content and communications will be consistently executed across all channels,

on strategy, on voice, and on schedule, through a combination of direct production and

active management of contracted writers and vendors.

• SERI's organic social media presence, particularly LinkedIn, will reflect a credible,

mission-aligned voice that builds industry authority and audience confidence.

• SERI's external visibility and thought leadership will grow steadily through earned media

opportunities and consistent messaging from SERI leadership.

Responsibilities

• Manage contracted writers and freelance contributors in coordination with the Director of

visibility.

• Own SERI's content calendar across all channels and programs, ensuring consistency in

• Own SERI's organic social media presence across all LinkedIn pages, from writing and

scheduling to posting, audience engagement, and growth, while maintaining voice and

programs. Create and maintain relationships with external sources.

Required Qualifications

Preferred Experience

• Understanding of layout and information hierarchy, able to think about how content

should be structured and paced on a page, in an email, or in a deck before it's designed.

Core Competencies

• Self-directed researcher: gathers context independently from existing materials, program

leads and others at SERI, or prior campaigns. Able to translate that research into clear

briefs for contracted writers.

• Committed to staying current with content marketing practices, platform changes, and

industry trends, and to developing deep fluency in SERI's mission, programs, and

messaging over time.

• Comfortable using performance data to evaluate what's working, draw conclusions, and

make informed decisions about content direction.

• Sound judgment on resourcing decisions: knows when producing content directly is the

better use of time versus briefing and delegating to a contracted writer.
