Copywriter & Editor

Main Purpose

The newly created role of Editor & Copywriter will be responsible for ensuring every piece of content makes sense within the buying journey and is consistent with our brand. The goal is to help generate sales opportunities, driving revenue, through engaging content. The successful candidate must have a strong ability to interpret briefs and business requirements, present persuasively to a variety of specialists, and defend ideas and execution.

The role will report to the Head of Content but it will be a resource supporting the full marketing team – sitting in a central marketing team (alongside the campaign manager and graphic designer). The successful candidate will help update the brand narrative and guidelines for the wider team/business to follow moving forward, drive consistency among all content and be a key member of the fast-growing marketing team.

This person will be able to utilize and further develop their skills in an agile and ambitious marketing team who are always looking to achieve the best.
