Content Manager - Landmark Group - Dubai

LMG has started a mega project to revamp and modernize the websites of all these 24 customer facing brands. The standards we are aiming for are the best in the web industry. High quality content will be a critical success factor in this project to revamp all our customer facing websites. We believe that modern design and technology can only add value if the content is very customer focused and relevant.

Because there are so many different businesses involved, the process of getting content will be challenging, not only in terms of quality, but also in terms of timeliness. Also, various different types of content will be involved here ñ pictures, illustrations, diagrams, videos, animations, written content, database content, interactive features etc.

We want an entrepreneurial professional who can define this process, enforce it and ensure that the content flows into these sites in a timely fashion with quality which has never been seen before in the company.
