Do you love crafting words that do more than just fill a page? If you're a copywriter who gets a buzz from combining creativity with purpose, and you understand the power of content to boost rankings, drive clicks, and actually convert - this could be the role for you.

We're looking for a Content Strategist with a copywriter's brain and a marketer's mindset to join our growing digital team.

In this role, you'll go beyond just writing. You'll take ownership of content strategy for a portfolio of clients - leading content audits, researching keywords and topics, and shaping copy that genuinely connects with users and performs in search.

Expect to:

* Work closely with SEO and content marketing teams to align goals and boost performance

This role is ideal if you're a copywriter who enjoys the challenge of making content work harder - and smarter. You'll be able to flex your writing skills across multiple sectors while learning from and contributing to a skilled, collaborative team.

And when it comes to benefits, we've got you covered:
* Generous annual leave allowance that increases with length of service
* Option to buy up to 5 additional days' holiday
* Freedom to work flexibly and remotely
* Real input into client work and strategy - your voice will be heard
