Job Details

Why us?

We strive to simplify some of the most complex and daunting consumer marketplaces, to genuinely improve the lives of our users.

Across our platforms - uSwitch, Money, and Bankrate - we give millions of people the tools, data, and insight to save thousands of pounds per year by taking control of their utility bills, gadgets, and finance products.

And now we’re looking to help consumers with one of life’s most stressful experiences: getting a mortgage, buying a house, and connecting up all their new utilities and devices!

We believe in being great people to work with: we are very passionate about our own work, but we think that it’s important to make time to help others with their work - so that the entire team gets better every day.

We are entrepreneurial - we believe in challenging the status quo and solving problems our users will face tomorrow.

Perhaps most of all, we are inclusive: no matter who we are, where we come from, or which project we work on, we are one team with one dream: improving the lives of our users through awesome experiences.

The role

As the Mobiles Writer, you will work in an agile, multi-disciplinary team of developers, designers, and commercial people to create content that brilliantly meets our users’ needs.

Together with the Mobiles Editor, you will be in charge of writing guides and features that help our users learn about mobile phones and networks, and empower them to make the best choice when buying a new handset or switching provider.

What you will be doing:

  • Maintaining and updating content so that it’s always accurate and helpful
  • Planning, researching, and writing consumer-friendly guides and features - mostly focused on mobile phones and networks
  • Measuring and evaluating the success (or failure!) of the content you produce, and reporting on your findings to the Mobiles Editor and other stakeholders
  • Working with the Mobiles Editor and other stakeholders to plan and deliver content that supports larger campaigns (commercial content, popular handset launches, MWC, etc.)
  • Collaborating with the broader Content community across uSwitch, Money, and Bankrate to develop best practices, share successes and failures, and to elevate Content as a discipline across the company


Requirements

The things we look for in you:

  • Experience as a digital content creator or journalist, ideally in an agile, multidisciplinary setting
  • Experience writing about technical or complex topics in an easy-to-understand manner
  • Experience writing good, clean copy to tight deadlines
  • Experience working autonomously - you can take a single question and turn it into a guide or feature with little or no oversight
  • Exposure to mobile phones and the UK’s mobile network providers
  • Exposure to SEO best practices and writing content for SEO
  • Exposure to data/analytics, and using it to inform content creation
  • Exposure to photo editing and manipulation
  • Exposure to social media (posting updates, using it as a source of news, keeping up to date with social media best practices, etc.)
  • Passion; eagerness to provide as much value as possible to our users; going the extra mile to improve yourself and your colleagues; and a bias towards getting things done!


Benefits

What we’ll give back to you:

We want to give you a great work environment, bonuses, and contribute to both your personal and professional development. Some of these benefits include:

  • A competitive salary and bonus package
  • A healthy learning and training budget, as well as the chance to go to conferences around the world every year
