As our Internal Communication Channel Copywriter, you will be a key part of our internal communications team. You need to have a flair for communications that are not only beautifully written, but thoughtfully crafted to inform, involve and inspire. 

Guided by our Internal Communications Manager, you will be responsible for creating clear, engaging and beautifully written communication, so people have the awareness, understanding, commitment and opportunity to play their part and become brand advocates. You’ll also be a hawk-eyed proofreader, quick to spot and fix a mistake. In a nutshell, you will blend your skills with our unique brand personality to deliver first-rate copy for all our internal communication channels, such as our intranet, Yammer and email. 

Depending on the team, most of our roles offer flexible working and you will work remotely temporarily due to COVID-19.

• Working with closely with Corporate Affairs, business stakeholders and external agencies to develop and deliver best-in-class communications.
• Being fully accountable for deliverables to often to tight deadlines 
• Developing strong working relationships with your colleagues and other teams across the business.

You need to be this kind of person…

• Passionate about providing unparalleled levels of service and convenience for customers
• Able to work and learn quickly in a fast paced, fun and dynamic environment
• Prepared to stick at something – we get nervous if someone has jumped from job to job as we want people who are prepared to learn and grow
• Care about doing a great job and exceeding expectations with the quality of what you do

And... we are a bank so risk is a part of everything we do. We love people who take responsibility, do the right thing for customers, colleagues and Metro Bank and have the courage to call out any concerns.

We always support colleagues to develop their skills. But to be successful in this job you really do need to already be able to do most of these wonderful things...

• Understand the risks associated with your job and what that means for you, Metro Bank and all our stakeholders
• We need you to have experience working as an internal Communications Assistant, Content Writer or Associate Copywriter 
• To be amazing in this role, you need to have the ability to translate complex products, procedures and processes into simple and easy to understand messages and have superb written skills
• An English or Journalism degree would be beneficial 
• You’ve got to have lots of new ideas, love improving things and bringing people with you

Important Footnote Diverse teams really are the best teams. We know that candidates (especially women, research tells us) may be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box.  We also know that ‘normal’ office hours aren’t always doable, and while we can’t accommodate every flexible working request we are happy to be asked.  So if you are excited about working with us and think you can do much of what we are looking for but aren’t sure if you are 100% there yet… why not give it a whirl? Please note that sometimes we may close a job earlier for applications if we are inundated with amazing candidates.. Good luck!
