  Content Copywriter 6 month Fixed Term Contract
  Northampton and Glasgow

  
  As a Barclays Content Copywriter, you will focus on handling the delivery of a multi-year project that’s simplifying online content for colleagues. You will be working with a team of in-house copywriters and content managers and our partner agency to write, edit and build exceptional content to engage and inform colleagues in over 30 countries.

  
  Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive, and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.

  At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.

  • Developing outstanding quality content for colleagues and managers published on our global hub
  • Delivering project and BAU tasks, working with copywriters, content managers, designers and stakeholders
  • Creating and updating content in AEM (Adobe Experience Manager)
  • Managing the development of global content guidelines, consistently using a user-friendly tone of voice
  • Quality assurance and editing content written by fellow copywriters
  • Simplifying the complex, using credible language and insight to create seamless user journeys
  • Providing reasoned, open feedback and respond positively to feedback from stakeholders
  • Reviewing and assessing content requests and existing content from a colleague usability perspective

  What we’re looking for:
  • Excellent writing skills, preferably across different industries
  • Focus and attention to detail, including the ability to review your own and peers' work
  • The ability to act speedily, decisively and flexibly, using sound judgment to deliver engaging content with pace and precision
  • Collaborative and great communicator comfortable following processes and working in an active creative team

  Skills that will help you in the role:

  • Excellent copy editing and writing skills, with an excellent grasp of English language and eye for grammar
  • Extensive copywriting experience in a commercial setting across any industry, but preferably finance
  • Advanced Content Management Systems (CMS) experience, preferably Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)
  • Excellent stakeholder management and interactive skills

  Where will you be working?

  Northampton was the birthplace of Barclaycard in 1966 and we've been based in Pavilion Drive since the building opened in 1997.
  We purchased the building from the landlord in early 2018 as a sign of our commitment to investment in Northampton. Plans to further develop this Campus-style location are under way to allow for a real collaborative work environment. Based just off the A45 it is easily accessible by both car and bus routes.

  Our new state-of-the-art Campus, right in the heart of Glasgow is a hub of creative collaboration. A place where everyone can bring their true selves to work and reach their full potential. Home to 5,000 of our colleagues, our Tradeston campus will support the community in more ways than one - by creating thousands of new career opportunities and celebrating local artists. A short walk from Central Station on the south of the Clyde, it will be a key location for the Barclays business that will deepen our ties with the city and its communities.
