// The Copywriter / Digital Content Producer Opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced Digital Content Executive to memorably tell our story to both a wider and more targeted audience, at an exciting chapter in our development

This highly attractive opportunity is based in Watford (close to Watford Junction) and offers a great opportunity to exploit and expand your digital and creative repertoire, and truly make a difference. 

The successful candidate will be responsible for creating and producing the content for our digital (and offline) marketing programmes across UK and, increasingly, international markets. As well as working with the Head of Content, the role will involve supporting a variety of stakeholders within the business and its associated companies. (So you’ll need to be great at project and time management, with excellent communication skills!)

This is a great opportunity to join an accomplished marketing team that has already delivered a raft of enviable, comprehensive content. This new role will help take this to the next level in terms of volume, breadth and effectiveness of content.

You’ll be responsible for:

+ Managing the end-to-end process of content, taking a brief from anyone in our business then developing and producing content to support it, helping to amplify it (with support from the team) and reviewing effectiveness (e.g. engagement) 
+ Supporting the Marketing team’s campaigns with copy-led communications across a variety of channels (online, offline) and media including web pages, emails, social media, video, audio
+ Working solus and/or with agencies to create powerful PowerPoint presentations (incl. credentials, corporate and internal presentations, sales decks etc.) 
+ Working with external copywriters to deliver best-in-class thought leadership
+ Reinforcing brand value and proposition through compliant, consistent content

You like working in a fast-paced environment and are driven by the desire to improve the online shopping experiences for everyone, no matter what they are buying! 

You will be client focused and willing to be flexible when required to make them happy, including working at client locations.

The bits we need you to be really good at….

+ At least 3 years digital marketing experience focused on content development, creation and production – you’ll hit the ground running! 
+ A real flair for writing copy that is attractive, persuasive and encourages action 
+ The skill and flexibility to create content that supports all parts of the customer journey (and sales funnel), comfortable working across channels to drive prospect engagement, lead generation and conversion.
+ An ability to curate content from various sources – we’re lucky to have many great writers within Salmon willing to support our efforts.
+ A good eye for design, mixing copy, imagery (incl. video) and sound
