Content Writer - 3 Month Contract

At Horizontal Digital, we hold ourselves to one key belief :  You’re only as good as your

worst customer experience. This mantra is what drives our digital consultancy to think

beyond the easy answers and instead create websites, apps, portals and other

experiences that solve customer needs for Fortune 500 companies in intuitive and

empathetic ways. And we make this lofty standard a reality by fusing strategy, data,

design and technology together to arrive at solutions that set the bar higher for

Everyone.

We use these values to fuel superior results :

Lock arms

We forge relationships that make our impact 1,000x stronger. This means working

across departments and engaging both our clients and our communities to deliver the

greatest good.

Show hustle

We’re not ones to sit on our hands and wait. Instead, we anticipate opportunities,

collectively roll up our sleeves and find ways to execute the exceptional.

Embrace change

From new technologies to workplace philosophies, we welcome the unexpected and

constantly anticipate what’s next.

Elevate empathy

We listen before we take action. This means understanding a variety of perspectives

and holding ourselves to a higher standard of accountability.

Never settle

We motivate each other to push past the easy answers and collectively arrive at bigger,

more inspiring ideas.

But enough about us. Let’s talk about you

We’re looking for a Content Writer / Copywriter who can bring language to life - across sectors, formats and platforms - and help global brands connect with their audiences at every stage of the digital journey.

About the Role

As a Content Writer / Copywriter, you’ll craft thoughtful, human-first content that meets users where they are, across websites, platforms, campaigns and product journeys.

You’ll work across diverse clients and industries, adapting to different brand voices, compliance needs, and localisation standards, and ensuring content supports not just storytelling, but searchability, scalability and performance.

You’ll collaborate closely with content strategists, UX designers, marketers and technologists to craft messaging that not only works across platforms, but works with the platform, especially Sitecore, Content Hub and emerging tools like SitecoreAI.

• Voice, Structure & Messaging

• Translate structured content fields into natural, persuasive copy, fit for both machine and human readability.

• Write with an understanding of modular content models, structured data and tagging for reuse and personalisation.
• Align content to Sitecore and Content Hub capabilities (e.g. components, assets, content types).
• Contribute to content migration, QA and authoring for digital builds.
• Search-Ready Writing (SEO / AEO / GEO)
• Craft content optimised for search, considering keyword strategy, E-E-A-T principles, and natural language search.

• Collaboration & Iteration
• Work in lockstep with UX, Strategy, Tech and Design teams to deliver joined-up experiences.
