Content marketer job description
This content marketer job description template is written from the screening we run on real content marketers — copy it, replace the brackets, and post it. The bracketed parts are where the filtering happens.
Salary figures checked July 2026, sourced on our salary research. Free to use — no attribution, no email wall.
The template
Content Marketer — [Company]
[Company] is a [one-line description]. You'll own our content pipeline from keyword to published piece: research-grounded articles, the newsletter, and the repurposing that gets each piece read in more than one place. We'd rather publish four specific, sourced pieces a month than twenty generic ones.
What you'll do
- Run the pipeline: keyword and SERP research, outline, draft, edit, publish — [N] pieces a month.
- Write the newsletter and repurpose long-form into social posts that stand alone.
- Handle on-page SEO: search intent, internal links, titles and metas that a person would click.
- Refresh the pieces that already rank before writing new ones — updating winners beats minting losers.
- Ground claims in checkable sources; where we have original data, lead with it.
- Use AI for drafts and outlines where it helps — and rewrite until no paragraph reads like it came from a template.
Requirements
- A portfolio of published pieces with evidence someone read them — rankings, traffic, replies, shares.
- A research process you can walk through step by step.
- SEO fundamentals: intent, internal linking, and what makes a page deserve to rank.
- Native-grade written English with an actual point of view.
- Comfort being edited, and editing yourself harder.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with [your industry] and its jargon.
- Basic image handling for covers and social cards.
- Analytics fluency (GSC, GA4 or similar) — you check what happened after publishing.
Compensation
[State your band. Market rate for a full-time content marketer is roughly $900–$1,600/month in the Philippines — sourced ranges for five countries are in the table below. Posting the band filters out mismatched expectations before they cost anyone an interview.]
How to apply
To apply, link the piece you're proudest of and tell us one thing you'd change about it now.
How to adapt it
- Replace every bracket. The named tools, the hours, the band, the application question — specifics are what make strong candidates self-select in and weak ones self-select out.
- Cut duties you don't actually need. Six real duties beat ten aspirational ones; candidates can tell when a list was padded.
- Keep the application question. It's a two-minute work sample in disguise — the answers will separate your applicant pile faster than any résumé line.

The part the description can't do
A good posting attracts the right pile; it doesn't sort it. For content marketers, we sort with graded work: A keyword-to-article process walkthrough, plus the opening 150 words of a real article. That's the screening we run on every search — here's a real sample shortlist showing what the evidence looks like, and here are the interview questions we'd ask if you're running it yourself.
Or skip the pile entirely
Post this yourself and you'll do the screening. Hand us the brief and you'll read three graded finalists instead — the search runs free, and the flat $1,995 is due only when you want introductions.

Common questions
Can I use this content marketer job description as-is?
Copy it, then replace every bracketed placeholder — the company line, tools, hours and band. The bracketed parts are the parts that do the filtering; a posting left generic attracts generic applicants, which is the problem a good description exists to prevent.
Should I include the salary range?
Yes. Posting the band filters out mismatched expectations before they cost anyone an interview, and candidates in this market read a missing band as a lowball coming. Our sourced country ranges are linked below so you can anchor honestly.
What actually screens candidates — the description or the interview?
Neither, mostly. The strongest predictor is graded work: a role-specific scenario plus a real work sample, read before you ever speak to anyone. The application question at the end of this template starts that; our screening runs the full version for you.
Is this template free to use commercially?
Yes — copy it, edit it, post it anywhere. No attribution, no email wall. We publish the market's working documents for free whether or not you ever hire through us.
