About the Company

Black Box Intelligence is the gold standard in workforce, financial and guest experience restaurant benchmark data and has an enviable reputation in the industry. Following our acquisition by Diversis in 2021, we have experienced significant growth and are nicely positioned for the next phase of our journey - which will involve building on our legacy while bringing a product to market that fully integrates all the different data sources and explicitly promotes actionability.

We are a company of around 50 people, made up of passionate restaurant industry veterans and tenured technologists. This is essentially like working in a start-up: you will need to be able to thrive in an environment where you do not have limitless resources and there is ambiguity but you are looking for somewhere you can have a big impact.

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled and motivated Content Marketing Manager to join our dynamic small and mighty team (you will be our third - and for now at least final - team member). You will report to the CMO, who has just joined the company and is looking to build out the team (the CMO actually started as a journalist and has a background in content marketing). You will work in an environment where you will have significant autonomy, creativity is encouraged, focus is on outcomes and efficiency, and you will learn a ton because you will be expected to take on a wide variety of tasks.

The good news is you have excellent raw materials to work with: one of your main focuses will be to bring our exceptional benchmark data to life by telling stories and providing expert commentary on the industry that establishes us as a leading authority (recent example here). Our long-term aspiration is to create a high-velocity high-quality full funnel content program that is integral to our brand voice and fundamental to our demand generation programs.

This is a critical role where you will have the opportunity to have huge influence on the business: the content we create is absolutely core to who we are.
