We are seeking a talented Senior Copywriter to join our Copy team and contribute to Harrods' e-commerce creative vision, delivering exceptional product descriptions that enhance the customer experience and drive conversions.

As a Senior Copywriter, you will play a key role in ensuring the highest standards of quality and consistency across all copy on Harrods' website. Working closely with the Copy Manager, you'll manage and mentor a team of Copywriters whilst maintaining the Harrods brand tone of voice and style.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing a team of Copywriters; supporting with their daily tasks and guiding their development.
• Writing and sub-editing high-quality product descriptions, with a focus on luxury and high-value items - overseeing up to 40 descriptions per day.
• Maintaining and updating the house style guide in collaboration with the Copy Manager and Copy Lead to ensure consistency across the site and product descriptions.
• Acting as a key touchpoint for internal teams such as trade and buying; ensuring the accuracy of all product information online.
• Collaborating with the Studio team and business-wide stakeholders to streamline internal processes and support on larger business initiatives and projects.

This is a hybrid role with office hours from 9 AM to 5:30 PM, Monday to Friday. You will be required to work in the office a minimum of three days per week —every Wednesday and two additional days on a rota basis — while the remaining days will be remote.

You will have strong communication skills and the ability to lead and motivate a team within a fast-paced environment. You'll possess excellent time management and organisation skills, alongside impeccable spelling and grammar skills. You will have a keen eye for detail, knowledge of terminology, and awareness of e-commerce trends to aid you in confidently writing across all core categories. You'll also have proven experience in product copywriting, editing, and managing people.

Harrods is one of the world's leading luxury department stores and we're becoming a destination for top designers, and the most sought-after brands from around the globe. Our combined mission is to make visiting our iconic Knightsbridge store one of the world's most inspiring shopping experiences.

Help us make the impossible possible for our customers and we'll do something remarkable for you. As well as offering a friendly environment to inspire your best work, we provide abundant opportunities and support to build an exceptional career across the varied specialisms of our business.

In return you'll receive an excellent benefits package, including a company pension, flexible working, 25 days' holiday, and your birthday off, up to 33% in-store discount (including across our food hall and restaurants) and a season ticket loan.
