At Horizontal, content isn't just copy; it's structure, strategy, and story. Content can deliver our clients and competitive advantage, and we partner with clients on that journey.

As a Content Strategist, you'll play a key role in helping global brands organize their content supply chain in smarter, and more scalable ways. You'll work at the intersection of creativity and systems‑thinking, designing the frameworks that allow content to be reused, localized, personalized, and delivered across multiple channels with ease. Whether it's shaping a taxonomy, crafting AI content workflows, or setting the foundation for a multilingual content experience, you'll be helping businesses grow by turning complexity into clarity.

Ultimately, you'll help clients understand what good content operations look like and guide them through the messy middle of evolving from the unruly maze of decentralized content to something governed.

We're looking for someone who sees content as more than words on a page, someone who understands how content moves, scales, and delivers value. You're curious, systems minded, and excited by the idea of building content ecosystems that are just as elegant behind the scenes as they are on the surface.

You don't need to have all the answers, but you should have the frameworks and mindset to help us ask the right questions. We're especially interested in those who've worked in, or helped lead, the shift to composable and headless architectures, and who understand the organizational transformation this requires.

As a Content Strategist at Horizontal, you'll be both a practitioner and a consultant. Your work will span from high‑level strategic planning to hands‑on execution, working with our clients to:

• Understand how content supports business goals and user needs.
• Lead workshops and discovery sessions to define content approaches.
• Assess and define content operations and governance models.
• Create IA, taxonomies, metadata structures and content templates.
• Collaborate with UX and tech to ensure content is feasible, localizable, and scalable.
• Bring clarity to complex publishing ecosystems.
