As an exceptional Senior Copywriter & Editorial Lead, you believe in the power of great writing. You'll own BauWatch's written voice across Europe, crafting high-impact copy that strengthens our brand, supports sales and generates demand across 11 European markets. From advertising headlines and website copy to email campaigns, customer stories, thought leadership and sales collateral, your words will shape how customers experience our brand.
Beyond creating exceptional copy yourself, you'll lead our editorial planning across Europe, ensuring content is delivered consistently, efficiently and to the highest editorial standard. You'll collaborate with our Country Marketing Teams, Digital, Segment and Product teams to ensure every piece of content is customer-focused, engaging and aligned with our brand voice. You'll also build and lead a trusted network of freelance copywriters across Europe, ensuring every piece of copy, whether written in-house or externally, meets the same high editorial standards and brings our brand voice to life.
English is our master language across the business. Every campaign, website page and customer story starts in English before being translated and adapted across 11 European markets. You'll play a key role in ensuring our messaging doesn't lose its impact in translation by providing clear copy, editorial guidance and optimization for local adaptation. This role isn't responsible for translating content. It is responsible for ensuring that great English copy remains great in every language.
