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.
