Job description

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.

How success is measured
Specific targets are set with the Team Lead. Broadly, you will be responsible for:

• Delivering campaign, event, editorial and partner content on time, against agreed plans.
• The quality, clarity and usefulness of what you publish, in English and in your language.
• The performance of your key assets: engagement, conversion, search and AI visibility, and campaign metrics.
• Your contribution to campaign results and to pipeline in your language market.
• Smooth collaboration with stakeholders, and predictable delivery on your commitments.

What you will need

Must-have

Experience

• At least 5 years in B2B content marketing, copywriting, editorial or journalism.
• Hands-on experience across long and short formats: thought-leadership articles, guides and reports, blogs, infographics, snackable social and video content, campaign assets, web and ad copy, and scripts for complex products.
• Experience in data storytelling: finding the story in a dataset and presenting it clearly, including briefing charts and infographics to designers.
• Experience writing for and with senior executives: speeches, keynotes, bylines or ghostwritten thought leadership.

Skills

• Native Spanish, French or Dutch, plus fluent professional English.
• Strong writing and editing in both languages.
• The ability to explain complex ideas simply and credibly to senior finance audiences.
• Range across formats, from long-form thought leadership and reports to blogs, infographics, snackable social posts and short video scripts, plus newsletters, speeches, webpages and ad copy.
• Working knowledge of content performance metrics (traffic, CTR, conversion, rankings, AI visibility), and how to use them to iterate.
• The ability to manage multiple stakeholders and projects.
• The ability to prioritise and hit deadlines.

AI and tools

• Day-to-day use of AI tools for research, drafting, editing and repurposing, with a clear view of where human review is non-negotiable.
• Comfort working inside defined workflows, prompts and templates, and the initiative to improve them.
• Interest in how AI-powered search and assistants change how content is discovered.

Mindset

• Curiosity about how finance teams actually work and decide, and a willingness to talk to internal experts, customers and partners to learn.
• A structured but pragmatic approach: you can follow a process without getting stuck in it.
• Close attention to detail, without being precious about it: you are happy to draft, ship and refine.
• Thinking in reusable systems: you create content that can be recycled across channels with minimal effort.
• A collaborative, low-ego way of working across teams.
• Comfort taking feedback and pushing back when needed.
• You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are comfortable with change.

Nice-to-have

• Experience writing for SaaS, fintech or finance audiences

You will ship entire, highly complex features to production across a product built on many services and more than one technology, picking up new tools as the work needs them.

What you will own

• Contribute to implementing new features and resolving bugs in your domain area, with high-quality, maintainable code that meets team standards.
• Take part in the complete product development lifecycle: planning, implementation, code reviews, testing, deployments, and post-release support.
• Write modular, clean, testable code that avoids language and structure-related mistakes.
• Apply the right testing strategy (unit, integration, e2e) for strong coverage and reliability.
• Own well-defined tasks and work on them autonomously. When something is uncertain, ask for input and confirm the scope and edge cases before you start.
• Work with product managers, designers, and engineers to understand problems, weigh trade-offs, and deliver solutions that support business goals.
• Review pull requests constructively. Communicate clearly about your work, and share updates, blockers, and risks early.
• Build a strong understanding of the domain and the wider system, so you can give accurate estimates and deliver high-quality work.

What you will need

Must-have

• Advanced programming experience and in-depth knowledge of Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Docker, Google Cloud, React, React Native, and Apache Kafka.
• A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• 3+ years of relevant work experience.
• Experience with agile processes, continuous delivery, and continuous integration.
• The ability to multitask and organize your work.
• The ability to prioritize.
• Integrity and a strong work ethic.

Nice-to-have

• Experience with LLMs, AI-driven architectures, and autonomous agents.
• Experience with vector databases, embedding models, and MLOps practices.

What you will get

• Recharge properly — 25 days of paid holiday + RTT
• Change the view — a week-long exchange to London, Amsterdam, Paris, Munich, Vilnius, Berlin, Sofia, or Barcelona
• Win together, celebrate together — regular team-wide events that are actually worth showing up to
• Covered, properly — additional medical care
• Stay in the game — a sports card, fully funded, for the gym, classes, or your sport of choice
• Commute easily — a monthly travel allowance that covers getting to and from the office
• Use what you build — hands-on access to the actual product you're hiring people to help build
