  • Contributing fresh, innovative ideas to develop our content offering
  • Understanding and applying analytics to measure, report and improve on engagement, reach and other relevant metrics
  • Promoting and curating content on social media using relevant tools e.g. Hootsuite
  • Uploading/publishing content where required using relevant tools e.g. Wordpress, GatherContent and other CMS-type tools
  • Managing and updating editorial calendars using relevant tools e.g. Airtable
  • Understanding and applying SEO to ensure online content is fully optimised

Benefits include:

  • Competitive salary (£23-28k depending on experience) plus long-term incentive scheme
  • Full annual membership of private members' club including gym
  • Hybrid working model with central London location for 'in-office' days
  • Vitality private healthcare insurance including 24/7 online access to GP
  • 25 days paid holiday
  • Personal development plan with annual training budget to support continuous learning and progression
  • Apple Macbook laptop & home-working essentials pack for every new starter
  • Apple News+ subscription for premium content access
  • Tax-free bikes and tech via Cyclescheme/Techscheme

About you.

We’re looking for someone with:

  • 2+ years' experience as a writer/editor in content marketing or related fields (e.g. Journalism, Public Relations, SEO, Social); the ideal candidate will also have experience delivering client content in a content/creative/digital agency
  • A natural curiosity and infectious passion for storytelling
  • Excellent organisational skills, a process-driven approach to workflow management, and a collaborative leadership style
  • The ambition to deliver purpose-driven content for clients, with measurable results
  • The ability to develop creative, original editorial ideas in response to corporate and B2B communications briefs – ideally with experience within financial services and/or healthcare sectors
  • Proven experience in contributing to world-class written, audio and video content that drives engagement and demand across digital channels
  • Experience of developing ideas, creating plans/calendars, progressing content, and coordinating sign-off with stakeholders
  • An awareness of the legal/regulatory/governance/data issues that affect content creation on behalf of clients (e.g. brand guidelines, GDPR)
  • A basic understanding of SEO and keyword research, content discovery, technology, and platforms
  • The ability to analyse content performance using standard reporting platforms (GA, Adobe), reporting back to clients, and determining how to make changes optimise performance
  • Experience with collaboration/project management platforms such as Basecamp and Airtable
