This is a full-time, fully remote content strategist position paying up to $82,000 a year, and the company is open to candidates working from anywhere. It's one of a growing number of remote content strategist jobs that don't require relocation or fixed office hours, though the work itself is far from loose or unstructured.
Whoever takes this on will be the person connecting what the business is trying to accomplish with what actually ends up published. That means building content plans tied to real business goals, then making sure those plans survive contact with deadlines, shifting priorities, and everyone else's calendar. It's part planning, part project management, and part translator between what marketing wants and what a writer can realistically turn around in a week.
What you'll do
The day-to-day work covers a lot of ground, from long-range planning down to the mechanics of keeping a calendar moving.
- Build content plans that map back to specific business and marketing objectives, not just a rolling list of topics.
- Own the editorial calendar, keeping deadlines, formats, and channels organized across a team that includes writers and designers.
- Analyze how content is performing on a regular basis and adjust the plan when something is underdelivering or overperforming expectations.
- Work directly with writers, designers, and the broader marketing team to get campaigns finished and out the door on schedule.
- Set direction on audience research and keyword priorities so the team knows what to write and who it's for.
- Turn content results into a short readout for stakeholders, along with a recommendation for what happens next.
- Flag scope or timeline issues early, before they lead to a missed launch date.
Some weeks are dominated by planning and research; others are almost entirely about keeping the calendar honest and unblocking whoever is stuck. Both are part of the job, and this role tends to suit someone who can shift between the two without losing track of either one. There will also be stretches where three campaigns are moving at once and the strategist is the only person who can see how they all connect.
What you'll bring
A bachelor's degree is the baseline education requirement here. Marketing, communications, or a closely related field all count, and the company isn't looking for a specific concentration beyond that. Alongside the degree, they want to see a real track record of building and running content strategies, not just contributing pieces to someone else's plan.
On the experience side, the listing calls for 36 months in a similar strategy or content-planning capacity. That's the number as given, and it's meant as a floor rather than a hard cutoff. Someone close to it with unusually strong results probably shouldn't rule themselves out before applying.
Core skills for this role include content planning, SEO, analytics, editorial calendar management, stakeholder communication, audience research, and project management. Most people find their way into remote content strategist roles after a stretch in content marketing or editorial coordination, where they've already been doing parts of this work before taking on the full scope. The jump from writing or editing into strategy usually comes with a steep learning curve in measurement and stakeholder management, since those two skills rarely get much practice in a purely editorial seat.
None of the following are required, but they'll move an application to the top of the pile: hands-on experience with a modern CMS, familiarity with content attribution or ROI reporting tools, prior work in a B2B or SaaS environment, and any experience managing freelance writers or a small editorial team. A background in a regulated or technical industry can also help, since it usually means the candidate is accustomed to working alongside subject-matter experts and to having content reviewed for accuracy before it ships.
Team and how the role fits in
The strategist reports into marketing and works alongside a small, mostly distributed group of writers and designers who are used to async communication and don't expect someone hovering over their shoulder. Naukri Mitra is handling recruiting for this opening, though, day-to-day, the strategist answers to the hiring company's marketing lead. Content decisions here aren't made in a vacuum. Expect regular check-ins with sales and product to make sure the calendar reflects what's actually happening in the business, not just what was planned three months ago.
People considering how to become a remote content strategist often assume the biggest hurdle is the writing background, but in practice the harder skill to build is knowing when to say no to a request that doesn't serve the plan. That instinct usually only comes with time in the seat, which is part of why the experience requirement here isn't nominal.
Content strategist remote salary figures vary widely by industry and company size, and $82,000 sits comfortably within the range companies are currently paying for a role with this level of remote flexibility. Pay tends to move up from there with proven measurement chops and a history of campaigns that actually hit their targets.
Compensation and benefits
- Health coverage
- Paid time off
- 401(k) matching
- Full remote-work flexibility, with no requirement to relocate or attend in-office days
Some companies hiring for this kind of role also add stock options or profit-sharing on top of the base package, depending on company stage and structure. Where that's the case, it's usually laid out during the offer stage rather than the first conversation.
Applying
Interested candidates should be ready to walk through a couple of past content plans and speak to the results they drove, not just the deliverables they shipped. A resume alone won't tell the full story for a role like this one, since so much of the job is judgment calls that don't show up as line items. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and shortlisted candidates can expect a first conversation focused mostly on how they've approached editorial planning in a previous role, followed by a working session with someone from the marketing team.
Because the position is fully remote with no location restriction, time zone overlap tends to come up early in the process rather than late. It's worth having a rough sense of your own availability going in, since the hiring team will likely ask about it before getting into the specifics of past campaigns. Beyond that, there's no separate certification or portfolio format required. Whatever you have on hand that shows how a plan went from idea to published, measured result is enough to start the conversation.
