Job Introduction

If you enjoy creating impactful communications for a wide variety of marketing collateral and international communication campaigns, then we want to hear from you.

Working as part of our in-house creative team, you’ll be producing a range of different copy for a global organisation that puts members at the heart of everything it does.

Our established Brand, Marketing, and Communications team are looking to welcome a new Copywriter into the fold. In this part-time position, you’ll be working 2 days a week (15 hours) in total. You would be expected to come in to the Leeds office at least once a week.

Role Responsibility

As a Copywriter, you’ll be passionate about curating powerful copy for a range of mediums and formats, including web, email, social media, videos, adverts, and print.

Working closely with the marketing executives, you'll need to understand the needs of members all over the world and meet briefs, reflect brand positioning, and communicate this all through ideas and words to achieve campaign and communications objectives.

Working in a fast-paced environment, you will need to produce swift and accurate turnarounds, and be comfortable working alongside agencies and freelance copywriters when required to ensure deadlines are met. 

The Ideal Candidate

• Previous experience as a copywriter working on multichannel advertising and marketing campaigns
• An understanding of what makes good copy

If you've developed copy for international markets before, this would be a real plus, as MPS is a global organisation and supports a diverse range of members around the world, from the UK to Australia, and plenty in between.

This role may suit a freelance copywriter looking for some stability in a fantastic organisation offering a host of great benefits.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, and we encourage you to apply even if you feel you do not match 100% of the technical requirements. We celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity and strive to create a work environment which ensures everyone can be heard.
