Job Title: B2B / Technical Copywriter (Part-Time – 3 Days per Week)
Location: Manchester
Employment Type: Part-time, temporary (six months) 3 days per week (or equivalent hours across 4/5 days)

Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced B2B / technical copywriter who is accustomed to working in B2B communications to support delivery of content requirements for our marketing and PR client campaigns.

You will be responsible for developing high-quality copy across multiple channels - from demand gen campaigns, nurture flows and social copy to in-depth whitepapers and industry insight reports. Although we work in highly regulated and technical sectors, we’re looking for a copywriter who can create compelling and entertaining copy that cuts through the swathes of dry content that we see in the sectors our clients serve. 

You will work closely with client services and PR teams, strategists, designers and clients to deliver content that drives engagement, builds authority and supports measurable campaign outcomes.
