Words need to do their job.

Stop the scroll. Give a brand its voice. Turn a search into an answer. Move people to take action.

CM5M is looking for a mid-level Copywriter / SEO Copywriter who can move from a social caption to an optimised article, from a newsletter to a paid campaign, while always keeping the tone, objective and audience clear.

We work with companies across the food, hospitality, lifestyle and B2B sectors, building tailored projects that bring together strategy, copywriting, design, content, SEO and paid media.

• You have between three and five years of professional experience in copywriting, content production or digital communications.

• You know how to work with reliable sources, verify information and recognise when further research is needed.
• You can change register without losing accuracy or distinctiveness.

• Previous agency experience or experience managing content for multiple clients is strongly preferred.
• Experience in the food, hospitality, lifestyle or B2B sectors is a plus.

We are not looking for a technical SEO specialist. We do, however, expect genuine autonomy in keyword research, search-intent analysis and on-page content optimisation.

• A close-knit team with complementary skills.
• A commitment of between 32 and 40 hours per week.
