Senior Copywriter

We’re the feel-good fashion brand making style accessible and fun for over 55 years, on our website, mobile app and over 300 stores in the UK.

By living our values - we play to win, customer obsessed, we are one and it starts with me - we deliver That New Look Feeling for our customers and each other.

Reporting into the Senior Fashion Editor, this role would suit a creative individual with an abundance of ideas, an impeccable grasp of grammar and a real eye for detail. You should feel just as comfortable brainstorming seasonal concepts as you do writing captions for Instagram and reactive push notifications.

Working closely with the Creative, Brand and Social teams to ensure consistency across all channels, you’ll write compelling, original and informative copy and contribute to the ongoing evolution of our brand voice.

WHATS IN IT FOR YOU:

• 40% staff discount plus friends & family discounts throughout the year

• Support the Senior Fashion Editor and Senior Content and AD Lead with idea generation for campaigns, content and concepts
• Building and maintaining a relationship with key areas of the business, including Creative, Marketing and Social – you’re an integral part of the brand so will need to be a true team player who’s comfortable working with colleagues across all departments
• Support with Kind (sustainability) copy and projects, keeping up to date with latest legal guidelines
• Concept engaging copy for promotions and reactive trade pushes
• Create seasonal and directional POS / messaging for stores
• Supporting the Senior Fashion editor – when absent, allocating team’s workload, standing in at meetings, plus editing and signing off copy
