Content Producer

We’re super excited to be bringing another producer into the content team at LeadDev. At LeadDev, we produce content to help software engineering leaders become more effective in their roles and build happy, inclusive, and high-performing teams. LeadDev started back in 2015 with our first event in London, and we’ve since expanded to New York, Berlin, Austin, and San Francisco. 

We’ve since evolved into a publisher, and we release daily articles, weekly live broadcasts, and other content on LeadDev.com. We work with the brightest authors in software engineering from companies like Netflix, Deliveroo, Spotify, Stripe, Buzzfeed, The New York Times, and Etsy; and in the past few months, we’ve created content campaigns for companies like Twitter, PepsiCo, Target, Shopify, Peloton, and Skyscanner. 

As a content producer at LeadDev, you’ll become one of the hubs of knowledge on all things engineering leadership. You’ll be pivotal in conceptualizing and commissioning the content that we create, working closely with our editorial review committees to programme the best content for our engaged community. 

You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to our global events, which span Europe, North America and Asia, and have speakers from the world’s biggest tech companies. 

You’ll work alongside the content team, as well as working closely with our sponsorship, marketing, and operations teams.
