Copywriter/content Manager

We’re a power company that loves to do things right - including our advertising. We support good ideas almost as much as we support renewables, and we care about our people as well as the environment. Momentum’s genuinely a great place to work.

We’re looking for a keen-as-mustard Copywriter with the creative and writing skills to bring the Momentum brand to life.

You’ll need strong conceptual abilities and the ability to write engaging copy for all kinds of mediums: brand campaigns, eDMs, digital ads, content, brochures, web pages, and funny signs around the office. Anything.

Our content and socials will be a strong focus in the short to medium-term. One day you’ll be nailing a new outdoor billboard headline that says multitudes with a scant few words, the next you’ll exercise your writing muscles creating shareworthy content pieces. Long or short, you’ll know how to make your words funny, smart, affecting, simple and powerful - sometimes all at once.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Turning briefs into effective creative pieces. We need words and ideas that encourage new customers to choose Momentum and make existing customers want to stick with us.
- Writing for any medium. You’ll need to be comfortable with long and short copy for various audiences.
- Generating concepts for ads or campaigns
- Creating engaging and informative content, optimised for SEO, as applicable. This may include long-form articles, interviews, infographics, social posts and videos.
- Managing content creation from end-to-end including research, engaging technical experts, writing copy and ensuring appropriate images and captions are included in each piece.
- Supporting the distribution of content across various channels, including our website, Facebook and Instagram.
- Running larger projects autonomously and liaise with appropriate partners and SMEs to ensure copy is accurate.
- Ensuring all work maintains the Momentum tone of voice and brand guidelines.
- Working well - and respectfully - with other creatives and stakeholders.
- Being able to accept and respond to feedback is essential.
- Developing a good working relationship with our legal department. You’ll need to refine your writing to meet our legal requirements without killing the copy.
- Working autonomously and manage your time well.
- Sticking to budgets - both from a production and head-hour point of view.

About You:

- The ability to write clear, persuasive, original copy.
- Strong conceptual skills. Let’s write some genuinely great ads.
- You’re a whiz at making complicated things sound simple.
- Confidence in writing for any medium - print, digital, social.
- You can write engaging long-form copy including articles, guides, interviews, landing pages and blog posts.
- Keen interest in keeping up to date with creative work. You’ll be someone who loves to know what writing trends are making waves, which ad headlines are doing well, what people are sharing on social and why.
- An interest in what makes people tick. Or more specifically, what makes them buy.
- Spectacular attention to detail.
- Ability to work well with tight timelines.
- Flexibility. You’ll need to be good at juggling priorities. We’re in a highly regulated industry and things change fast.
- You’re way a better writer than ChatGPT.
