Senior Content Specialist

  • Full-time

Company Description

Creelio is a content marketing technology startup company located in Kansas City, Missouri. We provide a personalized publishing platform that helps executives tell their story and build their community through blogging, e-books, and social media. We currently serve the financial services, executive coaching, leadership development consulting, and alternative healthcare industries. Creelio's services are purchased as a subscription service.

Creelio does this by delivering high-quality, on message content that matches our subscriber's voice, keeps them in control of their message, and consistently engages their community. We differentiate our company in the content marketing space with our proprietary listening, approval, and impact measurement processes and mobile technology platform, which enables our subscribers to review and approve Creelio's content recommendations anytime, anywhere.

Our team members have the opportunity to grow their writing, social media, content marketing, and client management skills in a fast-paced technology-driven environment. They will work closely with Creelio's founders and support the growth of the company. Our ideal candidate is someone with sophisticated writing and editing skills and customer service and management experience. Prior work writing for C-suite executives and consultants is a bonus, as is marketing/advertising agency experience. 

Creelio is a great place to work if you are obsessed with creating online communities, communicating through high quality content marketing, and enjoy working in the startup community. Please note, Creelio is not a marketing/advertising agency...we are building a scalable technology platform that personalizes content for busy executives. Our platform will soon be available to marketing managers and agency account executives to enable them to offer customized content in a more efficient and effective manner.
