The Links Guy jobs - Content Manager

Content Manager Required for Link Building Agency

About the role

TLG is looking for a Content Manager who will manage and order articles from our Rolodex of freelance writers and ensures they produce the articles in accordance with the quality and guidelines set by our internal outreach team, and the editors they are conversing with.
