Day to Day

The relationship between employers and workers has never been more consequential — or more contested. At Indeed, we operate at the centre of that tension, and the Director of Thought Leadership role exists to help the market make sense of it. We’re seeking a seasoned, entrepreneurial Director with newsroom instincts and brand journalism experience to shape the future of Indeed’s editorial content. This is a true editorial leadership role: setting strategy, leading and developing a team of five, and operating at the frontier of thought leadership in a landscape where AI-generated content is increasingly prevalent and trusted human insight is a key differentiator.

The Director will operate within Indeed’s Content Centre of Excellence (CCoE), reporting to the Senior Director of Corporate Marketing, and will manage a team of five. The CCoE operates on a “Fewer, Bigger, Better” philosophy, prioritizing high-impact, proprietary content grounded in data and structured around Category Entry Points (CEPs) that connect Indeed’s corporate narrative to real gaps in the market conversation. A critical part of the role is close partnership with Indeed’s Hiring Lab, our in-house economic research team, translating proprietary economic insights into compelling editorial content that employers find genuinely essential.
