The opportunity

Group SJR is in an exciting phase of growth, combining the agility and culture of a boutique with the scale and capability of a global network. We’re looking for a versatile, self-starting Content Editor with a social-first mindset to join our growing team.

Who we are looking for:

This is a dynamic role focused on multi-channel content production. You are a natural storyteller, who is as comfortable writing snappy social copy or ideating and scripting videos as you are translating technical B2B subject matter into compelling, high-impact content. You embrace new trends, and harness new formats and distribution methods that amplify viewers and keep the conversations going.

In this role, your primary client will be a major, global energy firm.

Who you are:

• Social-first thinker: You understand how audiences consume content today. You think both visually and narratively and can ideate and execute campaigns at pace.
• Creative and strategic: You’re excited about bringing original stories to life, ensuring every piece of copy, from a 5-word ad banner to a 5-page report, ladders up to the client’s strategic goals.
• A B2B translator: You pride yourself on your ability to break down technical subjects and make them accessible and engaging for your audience.
• Versatile and agile: You thrive in a fast-paced environment, seamlessly pivoting from creative copywriting to deep dive explainer content.
• Journalistic instincts: You have experience in or around publishing and know what makes a good story, how to write a great headline, and how to create a powerful hook

What you’ll do:

• Social Content (both paid and organic): Ideate, write, and review social media campaigns
• Video Content: Develop story ideas, develop questions, participate on shoots, script the final product and work with the video editor on the final film
• Editorial Articles: Researching, ideating and writing editorial content - articles, explainers, whitepapers and more - turning complex subject matter into compelling stories
• Executive Thought Leadership: Prepare and conduct interviews with SMEs. Draft articles, talking points and strategic messaging.
• Event content: Create tentpole content around key events - prepping questions, providing coverage, and developing films, articles, social content
• Proofreading: Edit copy for grammar, style, structure, POV and accuracy.
• Trend watcher: Stay abreast of emerging industry trends and topic areas relevant to clients, with an aim to be ahead of the curve on innovative storytelling.

What you’ll bring:

• At least 3 to 5 years’ experience in B2B copywriting, journalism, or creating social-first editorial content (with a strong preference for experience in the energy sector).
• Exceptional writing and editing skills, with the ability to adapt tone of voice seamlessly from authoritative thought leadership to punchy marketing copy.
• Demonstrated experience in social-first campaigns, including multi-format multi-channels asset creation, and preferably digital display advertising.
• Experience in generating creative concepts and stories that bring B2B subject matter to life in interesting ways that drive audiences to act.
• A collaborative mindset, comfortable working hand-in-hand with strategists, designers, video editors, and client services teams.
• Strong interpersonal skills, confident in conducting interviews with senior subject matter experts and presenting ideas directly to clients.
• Quick thinking, flexible and comfortable managing multiple streams while being able to produce a large volume of high-quality work on tight deadlines

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office an average of four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.
