About the role

This is an exciting and fast-paced role for a multifaceted Content Lead. You will be working across a wide and diverse range of projects, on multiple channels and platforms, and no two days will look the same. Responsibilities will include, but are by no means limited to:

  • Work with the Creative Director on all content, including ideas for proposals, organising shoots, writing and/or editing copy as necessary
  • Write long- and short-form articles for print and digital
  • Come up with video and conceptual ideas, working with the Creative Director to bring them to life
  • Work with an Art Director to develop video storyboards and scripts
  • Write copy and developing assets for social media
  • Conduct interviews for thought-leadership articles (print and online)
  • Commission and brief contributors as required, in order to receive high-quality creative content on time while adhering to budget
  • Create flatplans for magazines
  • Build stunning RTB and WIP decks, and present to clients
  • Work with producers to coordinate and lead shoots

About you

  • You are not just a writer or even a traditional ‘editor’; you are someone who is highly creative and experienced in working with an art director to develop ideas visually. You’re as much about pictures as words
  • You might be a former journalist or copywriter, but you’re interested in more than just writing articles, continually exploring new and engaging formats.
  • You care about creating work that will travel, that will have an impact and that will be shared. Proper thought leadership, not filler
  • You are passionate and knowledgeable about technology, from AI and ML through to self-driving cars
  • You understand the current media landscape, and know-how to adapt messaging dependent on whether you’re speaking to a CEO, CMO or Media Buyer (ideally, you’ll have worked at an agency, or a trade title, and will know the industry inside out)
  • You’re a pro with Google Slides/Docs, and brilliant at building beautiful decks (and presenting them to clients)
  • You’re adept with the Adobe suite, and comfortable making copy changes on page where needed. You’re also comfortable with Keynote, though you’ve mostly given it up for the aforementioned Google Slides
  • You’re tapped into pop culture – you know your baby sharks from your keyboard cats
  • You have a bank of image refs and ideas… or at least a great Pinterest/Insta
  • You’re a grammar fanatic, with a meticulous focus on getting stuff right. Your attention to detail is second-to-none, and you’d rather be escorted from the building than mistaking a ‘your’ for a ‘you’re’
  • You’re not afraid of getting your hands dirty, or working long hours where needed (though you believe in a good work-life balance)
  • You watch (and love) YouTube, and know your Ninjas from your Nygaards
