## Description

We’re looking for an experienced copywriter to work on one of the UK’s most-loved household brands, John Lewis. Your role will be split between the business's financial arm, John Lewis Money and the Retail/Brand copywriting team.

You’re adaptable. Equally at home translating complex financial information into clear, compelling, accessible copy as you are writing head-turning headlines, irresistibly clickable emails, persuasive web content and engaging POS.

You have a keen eye for detail, a genuine flair for creative writing, and ideally, you’ll have a background in financial services and knowledge of FCA regulations too.

**Responsibilities:**

-   Under the direction of the Lead Copywriter, you’ll deliver great copy in response to briefs across multiple channels and platforms, following the brand and tone of voice guidelines 
-   You'll ensure financial copy meets all relevant regulatory, legal, and compliance standards, ensuring it is clear, fair, and not misleading.
-   Manage your day-to-day workload effectively across multiple fast-moving or ad-hoc briefs, maintain clear communication and ask for guidance on priority order when capacity is tight.
-   Follow established studio copy processes, including highlighting copy changes, managing tracked amends, and implementing reviewer feedback cleanly.

## Requirements

-   Outstanding writing skills and the ability to craft engaging content and messaging – short and long form.
-   Demonstrable experience using these across multiple channels/platforms.
-   Experience in financial services marketing and communications, plus a sound understanding of financial promotion principles is desirable.
-   Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to interpret business requirements and briefs and turn them into engaging written content and messaging.
-   Strong organisational and time-management skills, with a proven ability to manage multiple briefs and prioritise effectively under pressure.
-   Familiarity with workflow systems (e.g., Asana) and time tracking tools.
-   Portfolio showcasing examples of your great copywriting, including examples of brand and direct response campaigns.
