WE ARE HIRING: Head of Content & Messaging
Location: Colombo, Sri Lanka
Employment Type: Full-time
Industry: Digital Marketing / Performance Marketing Agency
Role Overview
We are looking for a commercially sharp and strategic Head of Content & Messaging to own and lead all marketing messaging end-to-end.
This is not a junior writing role. This is not a design role. This is not a social media posting position.
This is a senior ownership role responsible for creating messaging that:
- Stops the scroll
- Communicates instantly
- Drives enquiries and sales
You will define, refine, and control the message across ads, funnels, websites, email campaigns, and social channels. While AI may be used as a tool, you are fully accountable for the final output, clarity, persuasion, and commercial impact.
Key Responsibilities
1. Messaging Ownership (Non-Negotiable)
- Decide what is communicated, how it is communicated, and why it converts.
- Define hooks, angles, headlines, CTAs, and key messaging frameworks.
- Ensure every piece of content has commercial intent and a clear objective.
- Maintain full ownership of messaging quality and strategic alignment.
2. Copy Quality & Editorial Leadership
- Rewrite and refine AI-generated content to meet high standards.
- Improve grammar, tone, structure, and clarity.
- Remove generic language, fluff, and buzzwords.
- Ensure content sounds confident, human, and aligned with target market expectations.
3. Message QA & Performance Alignment
- Review final marketing materials for message clarity and impact.
- Ensure headlines are strong and instantly clear.
- Validate that messaging lands within seconds and drives action.
- Align copy closely with performance marketing objectives.
4. Funnels, Ads & Campaign Strategy
- Write and structure high-converting landing pages and lead magnets.
- Develop ad copy for paid channels including Meta, Google, and other platforms.
- Create email sequences (nurture and promotional).
- Collaborate with paid media teams to align messaging with performance metrics.
5. Brand Positioning & Strategy
- Define and oversee company-wide brand messaging across channels.
- Determine content direction and publishing strategy.
- Position the organization as a results-driven, high-performance brand.
Qualifications & Experience
- Proven experience owning messaging across ads, funnels, email campaigns, and websites.
- Experience working with Australian businesses or agencies is highly preferred.
- Strong understanding of performance marketing and conversion-focused copy.
- Excellent written English (non-negotiable).
- Strong commercial judgment and decision-making ability.
- Agency experience is an added advantage.
- Experience working with service-based or local businesses is preferred.
Who This Role Is For
- A marketer who thinks commercially, not just creatively.
- Someone confident in challenging weak messaging and driving improvement.
- A professional comfortable owning outcomes, not just tasks.
- A leader with strong judgement, clarity, and strategic thinking.
