Curiosity and creativity at the heart of everything you do? Content Editor

About us

At Shaped By, we believe there’s an unbreakable connection between creativity and tangible business results. We exist to help B2B-focused businesses uncover their authentic truth and become the boldest versions of themselves. As an agency, we put our people first – fostering a culture of respect, flexibility, and collaboration – while focusing on product before profit to ensure every creative output meets the highest standard.

Our vision is simple yet ambitious: “To be the global champions for creative thinking and design excellence in the B2B world.”

We’re a tight-knit team that loves to push creative boundaries in a niche but sizeable core target market: high-growth technology brands that are shaping the future of business. We do this while also championing the well‑being of our people through friendly working hours, robust benefits, and genuine opportunities for professional growth.

The Role

This position is a crucial addition to our new business and marketing team, focusing primarily on editorial content creation – not for our clients, but for our own marketing purposes.

Where does the editorial aspect come in? Well, part of the agency’s new website will be a content ‘hub’ that will be home to a constantly growing and evolving variety of content that showcases our thinking, our opinions and our expertise.

Reporting to the Marketing Manager, and collaborating closely with individuals and teams across the agency, your editorial mindset and passion for writing will play a vital role in making this hub the fulcrum of Shaped By’s marketing activity – raising the agency’s profile, attracting new clients, championing the opinions and perspectives of our senior leaders, and supporting the sales pipeline with high-quality, on‑brand communications.

We are preferably looking for someone with at least some content marketing experience. But what we’re after more than anything is a passion for storytelling, a journalistic approach to uncovering truths and insights, and a genuine flair for the written word.

If you can demonstrate this, then in return you’ll get bags of opportunities to take ownership of the agency’s verbal brand, and play with it across a variety of channels and content.

Oh, and we don’t mind at all if you use AI as a sparring partner – as long as the end result is unmistakably you and undeniably Shaped By.
