Content Manager

JENKI is a modern matcha brand built on respect for craft, clarity of flavour, and the belief that small daily rituals can make a meaningful difference. From farm to community, everything we do is guided by quality, creativity and care.

Our journey began with a frustration: the matcha available in the UK didn’t reflect the depth, freshness and vibrancy we’d experienced in Japan. Too often it was bitter, clumpy or overly sweet, prepared without the attention it deserves. We set out to change that - sourcing exceptional matcha, treating it with respect, and making it part of everyday life.

From our first market stall to multiple bars across London, JENKI has grown into a brand and community centred around thoughtful preparation, considered ingredients and a calm, modern approach to hospitality.

In 2025, JENKI was named Matcha Brand of the Year. We’re still early in our journey, and we’re looking for people who want to help shape what comes next.

The Copy & Content Manager plays a central role in shaping how JENKI shows up in the world.

As the guardian of the JENKI voice, you will be responsible for creating and overseeing clear, compelling and culturally relevant content across every customer touchpoint - from bars, to  , emails to packaging, digital campaigns, partnerships and product launches.

This is a mid-weight, hands-on role for someone who loves writing and idea creation, but who can also think strategically, manage priorities, and guide others. You will report into the Marketing Director and work closely with teams across the business, as well as directly managing our Social Media Manager.

Your work will help translate JENKI’s values of quality, innovation, education and experience into content that feels modern, accessible and distinctly JENKI.
