Job Description

• Define PKH’s end-to-end approach to engaging adult learners through content across the full lifecycle—from awareness and inquiry through application, enrollment, orientation, and early engagement. • Develop strategic frameworks that guide how content informs, reassures, motivates, and converts non-traditional learners. • Ensure engagement strategy reflects the realities of adult learners balancing work, family, and career goals. • Own PKH’s student-facing messaging architecture, including value propositions, narrative frameworks, and tone. • Translate program offerings, academic pathways, and institutional distinctions into clear, outcome-focused language. • Serve as final editorial authority for student- and customer-facing copy across web, program pages, blogs, and lifecycle communications. • Ensure alignment with partner brand standards while maintaining PKH consistency, quality, and clarity. • Own web-level messaging and story flow from a learner experience and narrative perspective (not technical implementation). • Define page-level hierarchies, content intent, and messaging priorities for partner microsites and program pages. • Partner with web and SEO teams to align narrative clarity with search intent, site structure, and discoverability. • Pressure-test messaging to ensure relevance, differentiation, and comprehension for adult learners. • Lead content strategy across key journey stages, anticipating learner questions, barriers, and decision points. • Partner with admissions, advising, and student support teams to ensure messaging supports readiness, confidence, and follow-through. • Develop and optimize nurture, reminder, and engagement content that supports conversion and early persistence. • Guide testing strategies for lifecycle messaging, including themes, sequencing, and success metrics. Lead keyword research, search intent analysis, and competitive content assessments to inform content investment. • Develop SEO-informed content roadmaps and editorial calendars in partnership with SEO and web resources. • Monitor content performance using analytics to identify opportunities for optimization and impact. • Collaborate with paid media and CRO teams to ensure content alignment across channels and conversion paths. • Develop and refine program- and partner-level narratives that clearly articulate outcomes, differentiation, and value. • Ensure storytelling reflects the distinct brand, voice, and mission of each university partner. • Adapt narratives to different learner motivations (degree completion, career advancement, career change, licensure). • Support new program launches with clear positioning and go-to-market narratives. • Define the role of video and multimedia content across the learner journey. • Shape narrative direction for testimonials, program explainers, and partner stories. • Partner with creative teams or external vendors on content planning and direction. • Ensure multimedia aligns with broader messaging and engagement strategy. • Lead the transition of content strategy from vendor-led execution to in-house ownership. • Establish content standards, workflows, editorial processes, and governance models. • Prioritize content work across partners, programs, and channels in a fast-paced environment. • Identify when and where external support is needed for scale or specialized execution. • Define responsible use of AI tools for content ideation, drafting, summarization, and iteration. • Establish guardrails to ensure accuracy, consistency, and appropriate tone. • Partner with execution teams to support scalable, high-quality communication through shared knowledge bases.

Job Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in content strategy, editorial leadership, or lifecycle communications.
  • Demonstrated experience writing for adult learners, non-traditional students, or working professionals.
  • Strong ability to translate complex offerings into clear, motivating narratives.
  • Experience serving as final editorial authority across high-volume, high-stakes content.
  • Working knowledge of SEO concepts, keyword research, and organic content strategy.
  • Experience using analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) to inform content decisions.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management skills.
  • Higher education, enrollment marketing, or mission-driven B2C experience preferred.
