Beyond’s Marketing Team is looking for an energetic, detail-orientated and creative Copywriter to join the Brand Team. We are a dedicated team that is constantly looking for ways to bring our brand purpose, to Leave our world a better place, to life through the delivery of extraordinary guest experiences. At the heart of our brand is See what lies beyond: the invitation we want every guest to feel, remember and carry with them long after the journey ends.

&Beyond is built, almost entirely, on the strength of remarkable people who give passionately to their roles, have the guest experience at the core of their focus daily and care deeply for the sustainability of our communities and environment. Every single &Beyonder makes a meaningful difference to our success and our contribution to the world. For this reason, we choose &Beyonders very carefully, as they are the strength and the future of the company.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Copywriter will support the Group Narrative Lead in delivering clear, engaging and brand-aligned written content across &Beyond’s guest and trade, marketing and sales, digital and social channels. This is a mid-level role suited to a writer with 2–5 years’ experience who is confident working across different forms of marketing and advertising copy. The role requires strong writing ability, excellent attention to detail and a willingness to learn the depth, nuance and tone of the &Beyond brand.

The Copywriter will help turn product and trade campaigns and other business requirements into polished copy that is accurate, useful and compelling.
