The role

Personal branding is really making a statement in the marketing world. We are looking for a creative copywriter to take control of our directors’ digital presence to show them as leaders in the space and to make people realise that not everyone with ‘chief’ in their title is serious and unrelatable.

We want you to be able to show off their personality and their skills to ultimately drive leads, attract the best talent in the industry and keep the current team at Kairos in the know.

Responsibilities

• Write clear, attractive copy with our directors distinct voice for LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram - don’t worry our directors have a personality so you will be able to have fun with it.
