About the role
As a content marketing specialist, you'll create, curate, and optimise content to maximise awareness and attention for our routes and brand.

This is a Fixed Term contract for 12 months.
You will be responsible for:
* Creating and optimising compelling content across various channels (social media, website, PR, digital media) to raise brand recognition, attract new passengers, and retain existing customers.
* Collaborating with designers to deliver digital assets that visually align with audience and channel demands and find efficiencies by repurposing and recycling content.
* Leading content planning within the route agile team, balancing route demands with global hero, hub, and hygiene framework, and support campaign teams and channel owners in identifying content opportunities.
* Supporting other departments (sales, customer care) by creating standardised and self-serve copy/content and collaborating with OBS colleagues to ensure a seamless customer experience from digital to physical touchpoints.
* Staying updated with social media and digital developments as well as travel trends to keep the Content Marketing function ahead of the curve.
* Working towards Content Maturity ambitions, delivering high-quality and high-performing content efficiently with the right MarTech.
About you
You’re a creative and strategic thinker with a passion for storytelling and making an impact through compelling content.

You thrive in a collaborative environment, bringing top communication and organisational skills, along with a proactive approach to teamwork. Ideally, you have experience in SEO-friendly writing and an understanding of Agile working. A second language, such as French, would be a bonus but isn’t essential.
