About the Audience Development Director at Headspace:

As Headspace continues to expand beyond our core business of guided meditation, we are producing different kinds of content in an effort to meaningfully connect with more audiences and improve the health and happiness of the world. As our app does more things, we also welcome new audiences into the product. In addition to the app, Headspace also meets our members on social platforms. 

The Audience Development Director will use data to ensure that our content is organized effectively so that members can easily find what they’re looking for. They will partner closely with the product team, to ensure that the right kind of content is delivered at the moment that member is looking for it. And they will partner with the social team, to make sure that every piece of organic content we put out has maximum impact in terms of engagement with the app. They will also work with the content team to inform what content we should make more of, based on the data that we have.

The ideal candidate is an expert in content strategy, with 5+ years working in the field on mobile and/or web. This person will be highly collaborative, detail-oriented and a strong communicator, working cross-functionally with internal stakeholders to maximize efforts as a partner to our Content Directors and our Head of Content on strategic vision.
