Content Distribution Manager

Hatch

1d • Remote

About The Position

Hatch is seeking a Content Distribution Manager to own the operational execution and systems optimization for how content is launched, surfaced, and performs across Hatch platforms. This role will own listener feedback and performance systems, using insights to drive continuous improvement. This role is also responsible for end-to-end content distribution, including ownership of publishing systems for always-on and new releases, managing the systems and rules for in-app placements and banner pushes, and ensuring content is surfaced accurately across library, homepage, and discovery experiences.
You’ll partner closely with Content, Product, Design, Marketing, and Analytics to keep launches running on time and systems running clean. You’ll manage the tools and inputs that power distribution (Contentful, Braze, Airtable, metadata, tagging, taxonomy), streamline workflows through automation, and build scalable tracking and reporting to measure performance and improve future launches. You’ll also help strengthen the feedback loop between customer sentiment, content strategy, and measurable outcomes—making sure what we ship stays relevant, discoverable, and impactful.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in execution, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration—and who takes pride in making complex operations feel invisible to the end user. This role owns the systems and processes behind content distribution and measuring content performance, combining strategic design with operational ownership to ensure content launches effectively and scales with the business.

Requirements

• 4–6+ years of experience in content operations, publishing, or platform operations, with hands-on experience using performance data to evaluate launches and optimize distribution
• Strong experience managing on-platform content distribution, with a focus on reliable, repeatable execution across app and web
• Comfort partnering with Analytics to define KPIs, interpret dashboards, and apply performance insights to improve content distribution and discovery outcomes
• Demonstrated ability to build and automate operational workflows using tools like Airtable, CMS platforms, and marketing systems
• Systems-minded and process-driven, with a track record of improving efficiency, reducing manual work, and scaling operational outputs
• High attention to detail and operational rigor, ensuring launches are accurate, timely, and consistently executed
• Experience creating documentation, governance, and tracking systems that drive clarity, accountability, and cross-functional alignment
• Experience working with performance metrics and feedback signals to evaluate distribution effectiveness and inform ongoing optimization
• Proactive, ownership-oriented mindset, with strong prioritization skills and a passion for continuous improvement

• Take ownership of customer feedback intake on content, ensuring qualitative signals—both solicited directly from customers and surfaced from social channels (e.g., Reddit, reviews, social media)—are captured, synthesized, and consistently shared into content strategy.

• Design and own scalable standards and workflows for artwork creation, versioning, and deployment across on-platform and off-platform surfaces, ensuring launch accuracy and long-term maintainability.
• Partner with finance, legal, and content production to build a system for tracking contracts, renewals, and invoices related to content creators and partners, maintaining organized records, clear timelines, and strong collaboration with Finance and Legal.
• Partner with Analytics to build reporting tools and dashboards in Hex that make performance insights visible and actionable across Content, Product, and Marketing.
• Run post-launch retrospectives that translate performance + feedback into clear recommendations on strategic direction, packaging, duration, and content mix.
