We are looking for a Content Marketing Manager to join Team OB in our Support Office.

This is a rare chance to shape content for Oliver Bonas.

As Content Marketing Manager, you'll set the editorial direction and content strategy across all our owned channels, leading a small team to bring it to life. You'll decide what content we make, always connecting it back to what our customers want and need.

We're after a content marketer who's done this before - ideally in retail – someone who is equal parts strategist and maker. You'll be a source of endless creative ideas and hands-on enough to bring those ideas to life. You’ll have a strong cultural antennae, sharp editorial judgement and a clear understanding of what makes our brand so unique.

In short, we’re after a content superstar. Sound like you? Let's talk.

Our Support Office is based in Tolworth, near Chessington, only a 30-minute journey from London Waterloo. We offer hybrid working with a split of 3 days in the office and 2 days home working per week, 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.
