Are you a communications superhero, ready to join our team and deliver something amazing?
We are Benefex, a technology business in the heart of Southampton enjoying a period of rapid growth. There’s never been a more exciting time to join our communications team, to help spread the word on the amazing world of employee benefits.
To be successful in this role, you’ll be a keen writer with a love of content, a keen eye for detail, and at least a year’s copywriting experience. This doesn’t have to be in a pure copywriting role, but you do need to be able to demonstrate substantial writing experience across a wide breadth and depth of styles. Ideally, that experience would be from an internal communications or marketing role.
We support our brilliant portfolio of customers when it comes to communicating with their employees. Whether that’s creating content for brochures, posters, email campaigns, videos or leaflets – you name it, we’ll write it. You’ll have the chance to create sub-brands and concepts for our new customers’ benefit schemes, and you’ll work with our in-house design team to bring your copy to life.
You'll also be supporting on the delivery of our communications plans and strategies. That could be sending emails to our customers' employees promoting their benefits scheme, joining customer calls, and organising merchandise and collateral for print.
In this customer-facing role, you’ll work at pace, supporting some of the biggest and well-known brands both nationally and internationally. You’ll be comfortable working in a fast-moving and occasionally pressurised environment and will be able to demonstrate high levels of autonomy.
In return, you’ll get to work somewhere truly amazing. As a business, we’re passionate about the employee experience – not just that of our customers’ employees, but of ours too. While this role will be worked predominantly on an office or hybrid basis, we are looking for someone who is able to attend the Southampton office on a minimum of 1 day a month basis. Oh, and cake. Did we mention the cake? There’s a lot of cake. We love cake.
Our benefits:
Competitive salary based on grade and experience.
Flexible work – fully office based or be a hybrid worker
✈️ 25 days holiday plus your local bank holidays
Your birthday off
❤️ Two half day wellbeing days
Healthcare cash plan
Employee Assistance Plan
Income Protection and life assurance
Pension scheme
When it comes to how and when you work, we want all of our Benefexers to have the flexibility they need to find a working pattern that works for both them and the business, and we'll work with you at offer stage to do just that. Whether you're looking for hybrid working, part time hours, or anything else, we've got people doing all of this and more. We don't want the hours you're able to work, or the location you're able to work from, to be a barrier to anyone joining the Benefex team.
