Do you have significant experience leading content marketing and multi-media production teams? Expert in developing and executing multi-channel content strategies? Experience delivering health content within a regulated environment? We’re looking for someone to join AXA Health’s Marketing team and lead AXA Health’s in-house content studio team - a centre of excellence for content marketing, editorial, storytelling and production.

You’ll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future.

• Establish best practices for briefing, workflow and governance to improve efficiency and quality.
• Run budgets, resources and timelines effectively, ensuring delivery on time and within budget.
