ABOUT THE ROLE

This role sits on PepsiCo's Global Employer Brand Content team, responsible for top-of-funnel talent communications across the PepsiCoJobs digital ecosystem.

You are the editorial engine of the team translating editorial direction into a consistent standard of quality, voice, and craft across everything the team publishes. You drive the global editorial calendar and the content franchises that carry our storytelling day to day, and you keep the team's output sharp and cohesive.

The role partners closely with cohort content leads, the Recruitment Marketing team, and Talent Acquisition, and represents employer brand content with stakeholders across the business. It is both a strategic and a hands-on role.

Depth of storytelling craft and the ability to influence across teams and stakeholders matter more than years alone.
