About the role

The Content Creation Manager is responsible for copyright and permissions, image provision for all publishing projects, keeping the database up-to-date, and logging and tagging all new images and video. Another core function of the role is to tag and date all existing acquisitions to ensure they are easily searchable in the database.

The role will also research, coordinate, edit and integrate the work of writers and designers to produce layouts that meet established branding and style guidelines.

The Content Creation Manager is the primary liaison point for all parts of the business who require images, photos and illustrations for their jobs. The role must be able to interpret image requests, integrate the information provided and liaise with stakeholders to meet their requirements.

The role has a strong focus on building the associated processes around the management of the database. The role is required to carry out the day-to-day sourcing (from the internal database or external image sources) of specific images requested of curriculum and training teams.

The main images are around schools, students and school teaching teams and in specific education programs.
