About the role
As a content marketing specialist, you'll create, curate, and optimise content to maximise awareness and attention for our routes and brand. Working Monday to Friday 08:30-17:00, your contributions will directly impact the success of our campaigns and support our content maturity ambitions, driving improvements, efficiencies, and standardisation to elevate our global presence. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping the content strategy for our newest ferry routes between the Channel Island of Jersey and the UK & France, contributing to the company's expansion and growth on a global scale. This role offers the unique opportunity to take ownership of end-to-end content creation, leveraging content automation tools and AI to maximise efficiencies while delivering high-quality content. This is a Fixed Term contract for 12 months.
You will be responsible for
Creating and optimising compelling content across various channels (social media, website, PR, digital media) to raise brand recognition, attract new passengers, and retain existing customers.
Collaborating with designers to deliver digital assets that visually align with audience and channel demands and find efficiencies by repurposing and recycling content.
Leading content planning within the route agile team, balancing route demands with global hero, hub, and hygiene framework, and support campaign teams and channel owners in identifying content opportunities.
Supporting other departments (sales, customer care) by creating standardised and self-serve copy/content and collaborate with OBS colleagues to ensure a seamless customer experience from digital to physical touchpoints.
Staying updated with social media and digital developments as well as travel trends to keep the Content Marketing function ahead of the curve.
Working towards Content Maturity ambitions, delivering high-quality and high-performing content efficiently with the right MarTech.
About you
You’re a creative and strategic thinker with a passion for storytelling and making an impact through compelling content. With a minimum of 2-3 years experience in content marketing, journalism, PR, or a similar field, you have excellent copywriting and proofreading skills, particularly for web, email, social media, advertising, and PR.
You thrive in a collaborative environment, bringing top communication and organisational skills, along with a proactive approach to teamwork. Ideally, you have experience in SEO-friendly writing and an understanding of Agile working. A second language, such as French, would be a bonus but isn’t essential.
We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
