Audience & Content Strategy Director, Filene; WI, TX

Audience & Content Strategy Director, Filene (WI, TX, or CO)

The Audience & Content Strategy Director serves as Filene’s senior brand, audience, and content leader, responsible for transforming enterprise marketing, audience growth, and digital engagement strategies into audience-centered, multi-channel content experiences that drive awareness, engagement, influence, and measurable business outcomes.

This is both a strategy and execution role. As a small, highly collaborative organization, Filene needs a leader who is equally comfortable setting the strategy and personally bringing it to life. This Director will move fluidly between developing audience and channel strategies, shaping Filene’s brand and editorial direction, writing and editing content, managing Filene’s social media presence, optimizing digital content, analyzing performance, and coordinating execution across internal and external partners.

This role develops and operationalizes Filene’s content strategy and optimization approach, multi-channel strategy, audience and role-based segmentation framework, messaging framework, thought leadership platform, social media strategy, content discovery optimization efforts, and performance measurement framework. Working across Marketing, Membership, Research, Innovation, Advisory Services, and Product teams, this leader ensures content investments and channel strategy & messaging align with organizational priorities and effectively engage audiences throughout the member lifecycle.

Serving as Filene’s editor‑in‑chief and chief content strategist, the Director also establishes the governance, frameworks, member feedback loops, Filene collaboration models and tech stack needs to ensure content messaging quality, consistency, discoverability, and business impact while reinforcing Filene’s position as a leading voice in cooperative finance and financial well‑being. This is an individual‑contributor role with no direct reports; the Director leads through influence, driving alignment and outcomes across teams.

Success requires both strategic leadership and hands‑on execution. The Director personally owns key channels and deliverables while leveraging cross‑functional partners, agencies, freelancers, and technology to extend Filene’s capacity and impact.
