Layton Construction has been building some of the most complex commercial projects in the country since 1953. We have 16 offices, eight business units, and a reputation built one project at a time.

When we say we strive for excellence in everything we do, we mean everything. We're looking for a Content & Production Manager to run our content engine, and someone who checks these boxes:

• Detail Oriented: Mediocrity doesn't fly with you. You sweat the small stuff. A poorly briefed shoot, a misaligned caption, a proof point that never makes it into the library. You catch it before it costs us something.
• Business Development Mindset: You understand that content isn't arts and crafts. Every asset should be doing a job somewhere in the pursuit cycle. You think in terms of what we need to win, not just what looks good.
• Extreme Ownership: You own your work from start to finish. No excuses, no ego.
• Builder at Heart: You'd rather build something new than babysit something old. You're fired up about efficiency and can't wait to build an intake process, a proof point library, and a content repurposing framework.
• Bold Go-getter: You move fast, stay organized, and never wait around for someone else to surface the story. You pick up the phone, get on a jobsite, and make it happen.
• On-Set Presence: You know how to walk onto a construction site, earn the respect of the people there, and get a superintendent to tell their story with confidence. You don't need to touch the camera to run the shoot.

Everything we do in marketing exists to help Layton win work and attract the talent to deliver it. Your job is to run the content engine that makes that happen: directing our production team, managing our digital agency, owning our web presence, and making sure the right story reaches the right client at the right moment in the pursuit cycle.

You'll have direct impact on:

• How well-positioned Layton is in target markets and with target clients before a pursuit begins.
• Whether the content we produce is doing a job in the pursuit cycle or just taking up space.
• The quality and strategic alignment of everything Layton produces: video, photo, written, web.
• How consistently our 16 offices and business units show up in our content with one unified voice.
• The strength of our proof point library and how effectively it feeds proposals, presentations, and campaigns.
• The effectiveness of our digital agency partnership and paid amplification strategy.
• Layton's digital presence and web experience.

• Own Layton's content strategy across video, photography, web, and written channels. Every asset you commission should be connected to a market positioning goal or an active pursuit. If it isn't, it isn't a priority.
• Build and maintain the system that surfaces the right stories at the right time: a regular intake cadence with the regional marketing and business development teams that converts pursuit intelligence into a prioritized content production schedule.
• Field and triage inbound content requests from across the organization. Assess each against active pursuit priorities and market goals, route to the right resource, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks or jumps the queue without a good reason.
• Decide what gets made, in what format, and when. Brief it clearly. Route written content to the communications team for messaging and quality review. Keep the production calendar visible and current for everyone who needs it.

• Lead and manage a team of two video producers and one photography coordinator day-to-day. Make sure every production is well-briefed, strategically grounded, and delivered on time. You're responsible for the output, not just the schedule. As the team grows, this role may hire and onboard an additional video resource.
• Travel to project sites to lead major productions: client testimonials, executive interviews, and on-camera content…
