Job description

Job Description Aberdeen Adviser is investing in its marketing capability as part of a wider growth and transformation strategy. We’re combining deep industry expertise with modern B2B marketing capability to strengthen adviser relationships, support growth and help define what great marketing looks like in the UK platform market.

About the role

As Senior Copywriter, you’ll define how Aberdeen sounds. You’ll own and evolve our tone of voice and house style, shape brand campaigns and adviser facing communications, and raise the quality of written communication across the business. You’ll bring modern thinking to how we express complex propositions - making our copy clearer, sharper, more distinctive and more commercially effective. We’re looking for someone with exceptional taste, strong creative judgement and a genuine passion for copycraft. Someone who can recognise the difference between good and great writing, articulate why it matters, and help others produce their best work. This is a highly autonomous role for someone who is equally comfortable creating original work, editing the work of others and building the standards that help great communication scale across the business.

Role responsibilities

• Define, own and evolve Aberdeen’s tone of voice and house style across brand, marketing and client communications.
• Write and edit copy across brand campaigns, CRM, web pages, sales enablement, advertising, social media, thought leadership and client communications.
• Turn complex product, market and client insight into clear propositions, differentiated stories and conversion-focused messaging for adviser audiences.
• Act as the editorial quality bar, improving copy produced by marketers, agencies and subject matter experts while keeping brand voice, clarity and commercial impact consistent.
• Build scalable writing frameworks, prompts and AI-enabled tools that help embed tone of voice across the marketing team and wider business.

About the candidate

• Exceptional writing and editing skills across multiple formats, including brand campaigns, digital journeys, sales enablement, long-form and client communications.
• Experience developing or evolving a tone of voice and house style and applying it consistently across a large, complex organisation.
• Strong ability to turn complex product, market or client insight into clear propositions, sharp messaging and conversion-focused copy.
• Experience collaborating with designers, content specialists, product marketers, sales, agencies and senior stakeholders.
• Strong desire to produce differentiated, high-quality, compelling work that cuts through the sea of sameness prevalent in traditional financial services.
• Experience in financial services, fintech, SaaS or another complex B2B environment.
• Understanding of financial promotions governance and regulated marketing requirements.
• Experience developing creative campaigns across digital, social, print or out-of home channels.
• Experience writing for professional audiences and senior decision-makers.
• Experience building editorial governance, content standards or writing frameworks.
