📍London OR Remote (UK) | £65,000 - £85,000 + Benefits

What we’re looking for:

We’re hiring a Content Strategist to join the Content team here at Monzo! We’re looking for someone who can devise holistic cross-channel content strategies, with experience defining a content approach for web, app and other comms channels, like email. 

At Monzo, we know making sense of money isn’t always easy - and content plays a critical role in our mission to make money work for everyone. We want to create meaningful content across the right touchpoints to help people untangle their financial lives. This means finding innovative and expressive ways to connect our products with real-life use cases, and identifying the right channels to distribute them.  

A large part of this role will be defining how we can use content to successfully launch new products and features, both to new audiences and in new markets. There will also be a focus on using content to deepen product attachment with existing customers, and building brand salience and advocacy.

Working closely with the Web Content Strategist, Content Editorial Lead, and Integrated Marketing Managers, you'll be responsible for delivering product-specific content strategies that can be implemented primarily on the web. You’ll also have the opportunity to adapt your content to flex across other core channels.

You’ll consider the brand’s overarching content strategy and broader objectives, but what you deliver will be determined by specific product goals, and the audience needs for that product.

For example, you might work with our Investments team, helping them build an education series around certain funds or risk appetites. Or you might advise on a video content series that builds active demand for our under 16s account. You’ll get to decide the right touchpoints and formats based on customer needs and team objectives.

You’ll also drive the strategy for new market launches, which means defining what content we put out on our website – this includes product or feature pages, our information architecture and any longer-form editorial pieces. 

Your role is to: 

  • Define how content should be used to drive business and customer objectives – you’ll work with cross-functional teams to define clear objectives for content – thinking especially about how we drive awareness, demand, consideration and adoption through well-researched content strategies and content distribution channels. 
  • Oversee the execution of your strategy – you’ll collaborate closely with the Content and Editorial Lead, Product squads, and Writers, who will help you turn your strategy into creative series that hit your goals. 

While the role is focussed on content, you'll also need to have a strong understanding of web content strategy, and how to use the channel to drive results for product launches and brand campaigns.

Some things you’ll do: 

Help Product Marketing Managers implement content into their go-to-market and growth campaigns. 

  • Work with our Creative Studio team, feeding in briefs to build out content for your channels. 
  • Review and provide guidance to Product Marketing teams for new product and feature pages. 
  • Map out user journeys, thinking about content gaps that exist and creating robust plans to address them. 
  • Document what good content practices look like, creating guides and training resources for other teams to self-serve and upskill.
  • Proactively look for ways to experiment, iterate and test our content’s impact – whether that’s on web product or feature pages or with in-app content.  
  • Understand our target audience’s pain points and customers’ challenges, and put them at the forefront of your thinking. 
  • Research what’s going on in our category and the wider digital landscape to share best practices and grow your expertise and discipline.
  • Work with our SEO lead to feed organic search insights into your strategy.  

This is for you if: 

  • You’ve got 3-4 years experience in content strategy and/or content marketing. Financial services experience is a bonus.
  • You’re a strong writer and can identify and clearly articulate what good content looks like for specific audiences.
  • You enjoy user, audience and market research and are confident leading on this for your strategies. 
  • You’ve created robust content strategies, audited and researched content specifically for the web, and been able to showcase how it’s driven results. 
  • You care about words and where we put them – thinking about how content can create consistent brand experiences throughout user journeys.
  • You understand how content can factor into product lifecycles – supporting market launches, demand, consideration and growth.
  • You can embed yourself into cross-functional teams to quickly pick up context on new audiences and financial products. 
  • You’re proactive at spotting and sharing opportunities to use content in unique and compelling ways to drive forward the right customer outcomes. 

This isn’t for you if: 

  • This is your first time working in this role – we need someone to hit the ground running. 
  • You only want to work on one product area – we need someone that’s comfortable and confident working across products to problem solve and help implement content strategy. 
  • You’re not comfortable writing or editing – while this role isn’t a writing one, at times you’ll be expected to muck into content creation and oversee content production before it’s published.
