Copywriter (Wednesday - Friday)

We are looking for a Copywriter to join Team OB in our Support Office.

As a Copywriter at OB, you will be the guardian of the Oliver Bonas voice. You write and edit copy for email, social (paid and organic), web, PR and advertising, turning campaigns, products and customer stories into distinctive messaging that sounds like no other brand.

You will sit in the Brand Marketing team and report to the Brand Manager, working closely with all marketing functions, the creative team, PR and our stores.

We're looking for a sharp, precise writer who can flex tone across care content, PR, marketing and social and cares as much about correct punctuation as a punchline.

Our Support Office is based in Tolworth, near Chessington, only a 30-minute journey from London Waterloo. This is a three-day-a-week role (Wednesday – Friday) with two days in the office, and are open to having conversations about working flexibly.

A bit about us …

At Oliver Bonas (OB), our values of Work Hard, Play Hard & Be Kind are integral to everything we do. Collaboration, imagination, curiosity, and teamwork are key to our success, and everyone has their part to play in making OB a special place to work.

Having fun is key, and a playful and positive approach creates an optimistic environment. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we are serious about what we do.

Our team knows their stuff. They’re confident and creative and unafraid to challenge convention to find solutions, taking accountability for their actions, but always with kindness and humility.
