Job description

Company Mission

Payhawk is one AI-powered spend management platform for scaling businesses - corporate cards, expense management, procurement, and accounts payable, unified in one place. We serve finance teams across 32+ countries, cutting month-end close time and reconciling 99.7% of transactions with zero manual touch. AI runs through the platform as core infrastructure, not a bolted-on feature - and we hire the top 1% of talent in every function to keep building it that way.

Why Payhawk
Payhawk, where the bold builders make an impact.

We're not a family, we're a high-performance team - and that's deliberate. We debate, ideate, and push each other to be better, because the best ideas come from direct feedback. We've already made history as Bulgaria's first unicorn, but the ambition doesn't stop there: if you want to grow fast - own it; do not wait for it.

Give: Honest opinions, real ownership, a focus on outcomes.
Get: A front-row seat to a market leader in one of the fastest-moving industries.

The role, in one line

You will create the content that carries Payhawk’s campaigns, events and partnerships every day, in whatever format works best. You will use an AI-enabled content operating system to produce more, faster, and help improve it as you go.

What you will own

Integrated campaigns

• Create hero assets and supporting materials for quarterly integrated campaigns: long-form pieces such as guides and reports, plus blogs, infographics, carousels, video scripts, landing page and email copy, ad copy and event materials.
• Cut every hero asset down into snackable pieces for social, email and paid.
• Keep campaigns fresh while they run, with new assets shaped by performance data.

Events and executive content

• Write speeches, keynotes, roundtable briefs and talking points for Payhawk leaders, for our own events and for third-party conferences.
• Turn events into content afterwards: articles, recaps, quotes and short cut-downs.

Thought leadership, editorial and data storytelling

• Write and edit thought-leadership articles, bylines and op-eds for Payhawk leaders, localised for our key markets.
• Find the story in data, from market research and third-party sources to customer and Payhawk data. Work with Design to present it clearly through reports, articles, charts, infographics and short posts.
• Write and edit blog posts, explainers and guides for our key markets.
• Contribute to our monthly newsletter for finance leaders, published in several markets.
• Work with the Content Lead and Comms on research reports and launch content.

Partnerships and sponsorships

• Create co-marketing content with partners: one-pagers, co-branded webinars, partner pages and enablement materials.
• Support content for brand partnerships and sponsorships, from launch announcements to ongoing stories.

Search and AI visibility

• Work with SEO so your content supports organic visibility on priority topics.
• Structure and enrich content (entities, FAQs, summaries, clear narratives) so AI-powered search and assistants can understand and surface it.

The content operating system

• Work from the shared briefs, templates, prompts and quality checks, and feed improvements back to the Team Lead.
• Use AI tools for research, drafting, repurposing and localisation, with human review on every published piece.
• Brief and manage external writers, agencies and production partners where needed.

• Your contribution to campaign results and to pipeline in your language market.
• Smooth collaboration with stakeholders, and predictable delivery on your commitments.
