Financial / Retail Copywriter

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.

• 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.

Perks at ITG — alongside a competitive salary, here's what you can look forward to:

• Time off that works for you — 25 days' holiday + bank holidays, a paid Wellbeing Day, flexible bank holidays to honour cultural or religious observances, and the option to buy or carry over up to 5 extra days.
• Flexibility & lifestyle — Smart Working with up to 40% from home, and after 12 months, the option to work from abroad for up to 90 days a year.
• Family & life milestones — Enhanced family friendly leave, 3 extra days for your wedding/honeymoon, and an Employee Assistance Programme whenever you need support.
• Financial perks — Pension scheme, Corporate Medical Cash Plan, electric car salary sacrifice scheme, and tax-efficient payroll giving to your favourite charities.
