Company mission
To become the new standard for how organisations resolve debt - ethically & technologically.
Role
Who you are
- You’re a magician with a pen and have 2+ years of experience in a writing-focused marketing position
- You’re a self-starter, looking to take on a role where you take ownership of the content function (you’ll also get support from our Marketing Manager)
- You’re interested in the fintech space and AI - you don’t have to have experience in either sector, though it’s a plus
- You don’t think business content has to be dry (you could make a policy document sound exciting!).
- You’re a proactive problem solver, who is organised and able to communicate issues internally and externally
- You’re able to move to fast deadlines and prioritise ruthlessly - we’re still a startup!
What the job involves
- As we expand into new European markets, we’re looking for an exceptional Content Marketer to take a leading role in owning our copy across multiple channels.
- We’re working in a really exciting space where a lot of our tech is a first for the industry, and much of your work will focus on these AI breakthroughs.
- This will be a varied role spanning short form and long form, UK and EU markets. There will be a mix of B2B and B2C with a focus on B2B. We’re looking for someone who’s keen to get stuck in quickly, work autonomously, and bring new ideas to the table
- Write with flair across B2B blog posts, thought leadership pieces, case studies, whitepapers, one pagers, press releases, the website and social media content
- Collaborate closely with our Marketing Manager to build up Ophelos’ online brand presence
- Team up with the data and engineering teams to bring their work to life across written content and product demos
- Manage the content calendar and schedule publishing across different channels
- Feedback both internally and externally, focussing on data-backed proactive solutions
- Promote our company vision: a world where everyone is financially educated, empowered and equal
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Debt affects millions of consumers in the UK. Over 300 people a day are declared insolvent or bankrupt – that's equivalent to one person roughly every 4 minutes. And at the same time, 12.8 million households have less than £1,500 in savings, and 4.8 million households live without at least one essential household appliance. But the aggressive ways in which companies collect debt remains relatively unchanged from 100 years ago.
Ophelos is an early-stage startup aiming to radically alter the way consumers manage debt. Their focus is on reimagining the customer experience by interacting with households through digital platforms and truly supporting them on their journey to become debt-free and beyond.
Backed by some of Europe's top investors – who have previously backed Citymapper, Curve, TrueLayer, and Wayve – the Ophelos team of researchers, engineers and business leaders bring decades of experience working across enterprises and academia, for companies like Oracle, Monzo and IBM, and academic institutions such as Oxford University, the University of Amsterdam and the University of Hong Kong.
