About The Agency

Our client is a fast-growing creative agency working across healthcare, fintech, property and beyond – helping brands find their voice, sharpen their message, and connect with their audience. They’re known for smart strategy, bold ideas, and a genuine, ego-free team vibe with a great culture.

Now, we’re looking for a content and communications thinker – someone who’s equal parts storyteller, strategist, and sharp copywriter – to help our clients speak with clarity and confidence. A real journalistic instinct for story finding and great copy.

Why This Role?

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who can go from shaping brand messaging and comms frameworks to writing punchy web copy, social posts or thought leadership pieces – all in a day’s work. You’ll help uncover what makes a brand tick, find the story that matters, and bring it to life across channels.

If you’ve got journalism instincts, marketing know-how and the creative spark to turn business objectives into compelling content – we want to meet you.

Key Responsibilities

Develop messaging frameworks, content strategies, and campaign narratives for clients across sectors

️ Write and edit copy across web, social, email, campaign and brand assets

Lead discovery sessions to understand clients’ goals, tone of voice, and audience needs

Create editorial calendars and high-level comms plans that align with marketing strategy

Craft thought leadership and long-form content that drives brand authority

Collaborate closely with designers, creatives, strategists and clients

Apply SEO principles and content performance thinking where needed

Use AI tools thoughtfully to speed up research, improve tone, or test variations (but never replace human insight!)

What You Bring

️ Strong writing and editorial skills – with a sharp eye for voice, structure and tone

Versatility – from punchy microcopy to big-picture brand messaging

Strategic mindset – you see the bigger picture behind every brief

Confidence in running workshops or interviews with clients, subject experts and stakeholders

Journalism, content strategy, brand comms or copywriting background

Comfortable using tools like Notion, Google Docs, Figma (or keen to learn!)

Bonus: Experience in healthcare, fintech or property – or the curiosity to dive into new sectors

Hybrid, flexible working – with 1 to 3 days in a welcoming, collaborative studio, or communal, hybrid working in the Manchester area.

Friendly, ego-free team that values both people and performance
