Director, Content Marketing

Summary Of The Role

The legal industry is in the middle of its most consequential technology shift in a generation. Generative AI is rewriting how lawyers research, draft, and advise, and the firms that get this right will define the next decade of legal practice. Thomson Reuters sits at the center of that shift. This role leads the content engine behind that strategy. You'll set the editorial agenda for our Legal Professionals business, shape how the market understands the future of legal work, and build the content programs that drive demand for CoCounsel, Westlaw, Practical Law, HighQ, and Noetica. You'll report to the VP of Revenue Marketing - Legal and Government, and partner closely with Brand, Product Marketing, Thomson Reuters Institute, Communications, Product, and Sales leadership. You'll lead a team of writers, strategists, and producers.

About The Role

What you'll own

• Editorial strategy. The themes, narratives, and point of view we bring to market across the Legal Professionals portfolio, grounded in deep customer understanding, commercial priorities, and a clear competitive read.
• Content that drives pipeline. Organic search and SEO, demand generation content for nurture and conversion, sales enablement, and integrated content for launches and campaigns.
• The content operating model. Editorial calendar, production workflows, distribution across paid, owned, earned, and partner channels, and the measurement framework that ties content to business outcomes.
• Team and partner network. A high-performing team of content leaders, writers, and producers, extending via relationships with our internal Studio, agency, and contributor network.

About You

• 7+ years in content strategy and editorial leadership at a B2B SaaS, professional services, or media company, with 3+ years leading and scaling a team.
• A track record of building original content programs that moved a market, not just produced volume. You can point to specific franchises and what they earned the business.
