About the opportunity:

Shutterstock is much more than a stock photography company. We work with some of the world’s biggest brands, providing a wide range of services from 3D, music, and footage to custom branded campaigns, tech integrations, generative AI, and editorial assets.

• Formulate content ideas to pitch to clients and create mockups of content as needed
• Work with vendors/agencies, clients, and/or internal teams to produce, edit, finalize, and publish creative assets
• Write promotional materials to support the roll-out of client success stories & client case studies like social copy and emails

• 5+ years of marketing experience, with a focus on client case studies and both short-form and long-form storytelling
• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, English, or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education, training and experience
• Excellent B2B marketing content writing and editing experience
• Strong creative ideation skills, with an ability to pitch ideas and gain buy-in from key stakeholders
• Track record of bringing cross-functional teams together for large-scale projects
• Tenacity in pursuing a story pipeline and driving these stories to market
• Thorough understanding of the role of content journeys in progressing top-of-funnel initiatives into lower/end-of-funnel, revenue-generating activities
• Experience working across a variety of content formats – such as video, blog, pdfs, webinar, social media – and both gated and ungated content
• Proven prioritization, time management, and organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while working with a sense of urgency
• Experience using data to optimize or create content and/or improve marketing campaigns
