<p><strong>JOB PURPOSE</strong></p>
<p>This is an embedded role working directly within the marketing team of a UK Award winning fintech, based at their offices in Canary Wharf.</p>
<p>We are open to either a 6 month fixed-term contract, or freelance, with a view to go permanent. </p>
<p>As a Copywriter, you’ll write and shape onsite and CRM content. You will work closely with key stakeholders to produce high-quality marketing copy that showcases our clients’ voice and furthers their brand story. </p>
<p>You will be working closely with Sr. Copywriters to follow and improve upon creative standards, processes, and guidelines to maximise quality and minimise churn. This role requires a genuine passion for the craft of copywriting, an affinity for brand storytelling, and a keen eye for detail.</p>
<p><strong>WHAT YOU’LL DO:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Lead the end-to-end copywriting across complex, multi-touchpoint CRM programmes — including email, push, SMS, in-app messaging, and lifecycle automation flows — for a portfolio of clients.</li>
<li>Translate CRM briefs and customer journey maps into sharp, strategically-grounded copy that drives measurable engagement and conversion.</li>
<li>Own and evolve client tone of voice within the CRM channel, ensuring consistency and distinctiveness across every touchpoint in the customer lifecycle.</li>
<li>Partner closely with CRM Strategists and Data teams to interpret audience segmentation, behavioural triggers, and A/B test results — and use those insights to sharpen copy performance.</li>
<li>Set and uphold creative standards across the CRM output, reviewing and providing structured, constructive feedback on junior copywriters' work.</li>
<li>Lead copy concepting in creative brainstorms, bringing well-developed CRM-specific ideas that balance creative ambition with commercial reality.</li>
<li>Proactively identify opportunities to improve client communications through competitor analysis, industry trends, and emerging CRM best practices.</li>
<li>Collaborate with Designers, Creative Directors, and Client Services to ensure copy and creative are always working together — not just coexisting.</li>
<li>Act as a senior creative voice in client-facing conversations, confidently presenting and defending creative rationale.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>WHAT YOU BRING:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>5+ years of copywriting experience with a significant portion dedicated to CRM — email, lifecycle, push, SMS, and in-app copy at scale.</li>
<li>Demonstrable expertise in writing for customer lifecycle programmes — you understand the difference between acquisition, onboarding, retention, and win-back, and you write accordingly.</li>
<li>Strong grasp of CRM strategy fundamentals: segmentation, personalisation, behavioural triggers, and how copy intersects with automation logic.</li>
<li>Experience working closely with CRM or marketing technology platforms (e.g. Braze, Klaviyo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, or similar).</li>
<li>Agency or in-house brand experience — ideally with exposure to fintech</li>
</ul>
