LinkedIn • New York, NY

8d • $100,000 - $160,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

This role will be located in New York, San Francisco, Mountain View or Remote. At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. This role may be remote or hybrid. At LinkedIn, hybrid roles are performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team. Remote roles are performed from the designated home work location upon time of hire, and any changes to this home work location requires a review of remote status and approval. The Content Manager role is the operational and strategic link between LinkedIn Learning's content organization and the field sales team. This role is responsible for ensuring the field has the expert guidance, assets, and support they need to win and retain clients through the strength of LinkedIn Learning's content library, and acquiring content needed to fill client learning gaps. This is a dual-natured role: part content strategist, part enablement operator. You'll build the systems and relationships that connect content expertise to client outcomes, while showing up directly in client conversations, internal trainings, and GTM launches. Success here requires equal parts strategic thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and a bias toward execution. The ideal candidate brings a strong background in content strategy or enablement, a proven ability to build programs from scratch, and the communication skills to be credible with field teams, content partners, and enterprise clients alike.
