Baldwin Publishing, a well-established health and food media company, is looking for an experienced Digital Strategy Director to build an online consumer audience for our healthy recipe brand.

The Digital Strategy Director will create and manage a content marketing model for a robust recipe website and apps.

Additionally, as Digital Strategy Director, you will drive the planning and launching of new digital content and food media, including recipes, articles, photos and videos.

Baldwin Publishing owns extensive recipe assets and powerful digital technology driven by a flexible content management system (CMS). Our stellar reputation for producing quality B2B health content for 30 years will open doors for sponsorship and advertising support of this new consumer-focused recipe product.
