What the Hiring Manager says
This is a fantastic opportunity to join Quilter’s Brand team, a welcoming, friendly, and professional team of individuals that acts as an in-house marketing agency and supports Quilter’s marketing campaigns, communications, and wider Quilter work, such as projects. We add value by providing best-in-class creative, content, and digital marketing services to reach and engage with our target audiences – financial advisers and consumers. Reporting to the Content and Engagement Manager, you’ll work closely with our lead copywriter and with people from across the business to write engaging and compliant content for both digital and non-digital media, with a specific emphasis on Consumer Duty.
About the Role
Level: 3
Department: Marketing
Location: Southampton, England
Contract type: Permanent
We are looking for a copywriting enthusiast with excellent writing skills who can create new, compelling, and engaging client and adviser facing materials to explain and promote our propositions and refresh materials for our existing offerings.
The particular focus of this role is to help us prepare for a new regulatory initiative called Consumer Duty. This will involve working with subject matter experts to create support material for financial advisers, to help them prepare for Consumer Duty. You will also be reviewing and refining our customer facing communications to ensure they are easy to understand and help customers make good financial decisions.
You’ll be self-motivated, a great team player and comfortable working under pressure and to tight deadlines. Your ability to prioritise, with support from your manager, and where needed act with a sense of urgency will be vital for this role.
You’ll ensure content is appropriate for the audience, considering what their level of understanding is, what the challenges are, and how to communicate the key messages. You’ll do this by translating technical content drafts into clear and engaging content, suitable for the intended audience.
You’ll be able to adapt to Quilter’s tone of voice easily, and with support from the lead copywriter you’ll apply relevant behavioural science techniques to ensure content is as engaging as possible and delivers the required outcomes. We are currently working with a leading behavioural science consultancy to create a Customer Comms Toolkit, and you will be trained on how this can help you in your role.
You’ll understand the differences between different content media, and can tailor content appropriately – across media such as website, brochureware and email.
