Head of Content

Ferryscanner is an online search and booking engine that helps people find affordable ferry tickets to exciting destinations around the world. Since 2018, we have been simplifying the ferry booking process by offering ferry tickets for more than 900 destinations across the globe in 25 languages. Our company culture is based on five core values: Ownership, Trust & Respect, Constant Improvement, Customer Obsession, and Being Bold. The Ferryscanner team is made up of people who love travel, thrive in fast-paced environments, and continuously seek practical and innovative solutions.

At Ferryscanner, content is more than marketing copy — it is a core part of the product experience. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a Head of Content to lead that experience and shape how travelers discover, understand, and navigate our platform across every stage of their journey.

As Head of Content, you will define and lead Ferryscanner’s content strategy across product surfaces, landing pages, organic growth channels, and customer touchpoints. You will own the content layer that shapes how users discover, understand, and engage with Ferryscanner – from search engines and AI-powered assistants to on-site experiences and conversion-critical pages. You will ensure that content across our platform is clear, engaging, and useful, while being strategically optimized for both traditional search (SEO) and emerging AI-driven discovery surfaces (LLMs, generative search, answer engines). Your work will directly impact organic acquisition, user experience, and brand authority in the ferry travel space.

You will report to our Marketing Director and partner closely with Product Teams in Design and Frontend, while leading and mentoring a team of Content Specialists, SEO Experts and UX writers.
