Senior Long-Form Content Writer, Global

We are seeking an experienced, strategic, and self-directed collaborative senior content writer to join our central marketing team in headquarters in  Amsterdam. The role reports directly to the Global Content Lead.

This senior position centers on driving editorial excellence to support global revenue growth, brand awareness, and strategic positioning. You will interpret a wide variety of project briefs while applying deep expertise in our core value proposition, target buyer personas, and overarching commercial goals. As a senior individual contributor, you will tackle high-complexity initiatives and establish distinct market positioning through data-backed storytelling, in-depth editorial capability, and conceptual narrative design.

The ideal candidate brings background in executing on multi-channel creative briefs, delivering high-impact long-form copy across dynamic marketing campaigns, and driving seamless cross-functional alignment. You have proven mastery in long-form journalism and brand narrative, balanced with practical fluency in short-form copy and search performance. Rigorous project leadership and delivery management are essential.

What you’ll do

• Oversee the development, governance, and updates of content assets by adhering to operational workflows, editorial standards, and scalable asset templates, significantly reducing feedback cycles and editing iterations.
• Maintain high-level proficiency in long-form, short-form, and search-optimized copy, holding a specialized core capability in long-form editorial narrative.
• Author high-impact thought leadership pieces, flagship brand narratives, multi-part editorial series, and in-depth articles that reinforce industry authority and differentiation, while supporting collateral copy needs.
• Serve as the lead content strategist on location for customer case study interviews and video/multimedia shoot productions.
• Demonstrate strong capability in mapping editorial campaigns directly to revenue objectives and central marketing strategy. Apply sharp business acumen and brand alignment when assessing incoming briefs.
• Direct the execution of end-to-end content projects. Partner across internal teams, external subject matter experts, and visual design teams from intake to launch—maintaining precise control over details and deliverables. Apply modern project management methodologies to align stakeholders, maintain timelines, and navigate execution risks independently.
• Perform deep-dive research and synthesize background data, market trends, and audience intelligence to anchor content. Lead primary interviews with executive leadership and external industry specialists to extract insights.
• Model best practices for establishing target performance metrics, auditing asset reach, and refining future editorial strategies using audience measurement tools and content best practices.
• Build and update standardized writing frameworks, voice guidelines, and content templates for global production studios to optimize cross-team velocity and consistency.
• Guide and mentor content writers across global production hubs, establishing quality benchmarks and conducting editorial reviews to maintain exceptional standards.

What you are:

• You bring 10+ years of professional writing and editorial experience 
• You are an investigative storyteller: deeply curious and motivated to analyze customer behaviors, market dynamics, and buyer motivations.
• You possess proven expertise in standing out in competitive markets through data-backed insights and compelling executive thought leadership.
• You possess a meticulous eye for quality control alongside a journalistic drive to uncover compelling story angles and unique perspectives.
• You hold a solid grasp of writing for full-funnel digital ecosystems: blending user experience considerations, channel performance, and overarching content strategy.
• You are a disciplined self-starter who takes complete ownership of project timelines and deliverables, remaining highly adaptable to collaborative refinement and feedback.
• You possess full professional fluency (written and spoken) in English.
