4. Strong communication skills with the ability to write for different audiences and industries.
5. Excellent time management, with the ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
6. A proactive and problem-solving mindset, keen to contribute new ideas and improvements.

Bonus points if you have:
1. Experience creating social media content and familiarity with social media best practices.
2. The ability to quickly adapt to different brand tones and industry topics.
3. Working knowledge of Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Slides).
4. Interest in data-driven content strategies and performance analysis.


REQUIREMENTS

1. 2-3 years of copywriting experience, ideally in an agency setting working across different brands.
2. Strong understanding of SEO and editorial best practices for digital content.
3. Agency experience and familiarity with agency-side operations.
4. Strong organisational skills, with the ability to balance short-term deadlines and long-term objectives.

We know that no candidate will tick every box. If you’re excited about this role and believe you could be a good fit, we encourage you to apply.
