[Hiring] Content Production Manager @Progress Partners

Role Description

Hi, I’m Oleksandra, Head of Localization and Content at Progress Partners, and I’m hiring a Content Production Manager to join my team. We build consumer products ranging from utility tools to wellbeing and learning experiences, and many of them rely on rich in-app content, such as lessons, quizzes, stories, videos, and other formats, produced through a mix of AI workflows, in-house content specialists, and a network of freelancers. We’re now scaling that output across several products at once, and we need someone to own the engine full-time. You’ll run content production end to end, combining editorial judgment with strong project management to deliver high volumes of quality content on tight timelines. You’ll coordinate the work of our in-house content specialists and directly manage our freelance network, without direct reports initially.

Progress Partners builds consumer web and mobile products used around the world, from utility tools to wellbeing and learning experiences, in up to 36 languages. The Content & Localization team aims to own every word users read across our products and funnels, in every market.

We are building this team from the ground up. You'll join early, shape how we work, and see your impact directly in product and revenue metrics.

• AI-first: We use AI to produce and localize content at scale, and humans to set the standards, judge quality and decide.
• Craftsmanship: We hire true subject-matter experts who take pride in their craft and bring the depth and judgment AI can't replace.
• Fast and pragmatic: We launch quickly, balance quality with speed through a risk-based approach, and improve as we learn.
• Async and remote: We work across time zones and write things down.
• Data-informed: We tie content and localization decisions to measurable outcomes.

This role reports to the Head of Localization & Content.

What You’ll Do

• Plan and manage content production across products, from brief to publication.
• Coordinate AI-assisted content pipelines, including generation, review and import into our CMS.
• Brief, manage and review freelancers: writers, video producers, editors, instructional designers and subject-matter experts.
• Run video production, including AI-generated video and captions.
• Plan and track production timelines and capacity, and keep production within budget.
• Make sure content goes through quality review, originality checks and localization on time.
• Monitor content performance and engagement, and feed insights into what we produce next.
• Keep production systems topic-agnostic and reusable, so we can launch new verticals quickly.

Qualifications

• 4–6 years in content production or editorial management for digital products, ideally in-app or educational content for learning or consumer apps.
• Experience managing freelancers and remote experts at scale.
• Hands-on content creation skills: you can write, edit and produce content yourself, not only coordinate it.
• Strong editorial skills and a high bar for content quality.
• Hands-on experience with AI content and video tools.
• Excellent organization, with experience running several projects at once.
• Comfort with metrics and content performance analysis.
• Strong written communication and the ability to work autonomously in a remote, async environment.
• Comfort with ownership, transparency, and a results-driven mindset.

Nice to Have

• Experience producing bite-sized learning content, such as courses, lessons or quizzes.
• Instructional design experience, such as structuring lessons, learning paths or assessments.
• Experience with CMS-based content workflows.
• Experience producing content for multiple languages.

In Your First 90 Days

• Take over content production for an upcoming product launch and deliver it on schedule.
• Improve our production workflow and tracking, and roll them out across products.
• Build a reliable pool of freelancers for video and other formats.
• Define content quality and originality checks for production.

How We Work

We’re fully remote and distributed across time zones. We default to async, communicate in writing, and trust people to deliver outcomes, not log hours. Decisions are transparent, ownership is clear, and your work is visible from day one.

Interview Process

We've designed our interview process to be transparent, respectful of your time, and a genuine two-way conversation; we want to get to know you, and we want you to get to know us. You'll always know what stage you're at, what to expect next, and roughly how long things will take.
