Senior Content Creator

Do you have a track record of creating content that really performs?

Are you confident shaping content strategy while also getting stuck in to make things yourself?

Do you take pride in launching quickly, learning fast, and owning results?

At Octopus Money, we believe better money decisions lead to better lives. We’re on a mission to help more people feel confident about their financial future – and we need a content creator who can help us show up in the world with bold, brilliant content that cuts through.

This is a great step-up opportunity for someone ready to grow into a more senior content role – someone with sharp instincts, fluent in social-first storytelling and with the drive to make things happen. You’ll be at the centre of our brand and marketing team – amplifying our message and making sure we’re fast, focused and prolific in turning ideas into content that performs.

About Octopus Money

At Octopus Money, we’re on a mission to make money advice accessible to all – because the right advice can turn your life dreams into reality.

The facts are alarming: half of Brits reach retirement age without enough money to live the life they want, financial stress is a leading cause of poor mental health and only 8% of us have access to 1-to-1 advice.

There’s plenty of information out there, but most of us just wish that someone we trust would tell us what to do with our money!

With Octopus, you get a personalised plan and a friendly expert to help you make it happen. We combine advisers, coaches and technology to understand your situation and recommend the right steps for your savings, investments, pensions and more. Then, we make it easy to invest in a custom portfolio, managed by experts.

We believe everyone deserves personal, 1-to-1 advice with their money.

What You’ll Do As a Content Creator

• Own our content strategy – Set the editorial direction, shape the content calendar and make sure what we publish is aligned to brand and business goals
• Lead with insight – Use performance data, audience research and platform trends to constantly evolve how and where we show up
• Own our social playbook – Know what works on LinkedIn, Meta and TikTok – and create content that feels native, relevant and high-performing
• Collaborate across the business – Work closely with marketers, designers and our team of personal finance experts (the face of our content) to create content that gets seen and shared
• Raise the bar on brand voice – Bring consistency, creativity and clarity to everything we create – across email, video, long-form and more
• Move fast and learn fast – You’ll test, ship, tweak and repeat – not wait for perfection
  
  
  

What You’ll Bring

• At least 3+ years experience in similar roles (Ideally, you’ve worked in a brand that serves a 35-50 year old audience)
• You’ve already created content that performs – and you’re ready to take on more responsibility for strategy as well as delivery
• You’re prolific, proactive and thrive in fast-paced environments – full of ideas and able to move with urgency and focus on the ones that matter
• You’re comfortable with ambiguity and autonomy – able to take a loose idea and turn it into something great without waiting for a perfect brief
• You understand social platforms deeply and know how to create content that plays to their strengths
• You have an experimental mindset – you love testing new formats, learning quickly, and evolving as you go
• You care about financial wellbeing – you don’t need deep FS industry experience (in fact, we’re not here to follow the traditional FS playbook) – but you should have a personal interest in the space and be excited by our mission to help people feel more confident about their money

About Octopus Group

Octopus is a group of companies which invests in the people, ideas and industries that will help to change the world.

We want everything we do, whether that’s in financial services or energy supply, to have a positive impact on the people it touches. The energy supply business - Octopus Energy is the #1 rated UK energy supply business, and the only one to be recommended by Which? three years in a row.
