Content Manager – Retail

Fixed-term Maternity Cover

London (office-based)
· Full-time
· 12-month fixed-term contract (maternity cover)

Sum Up’s retail channel covers everything a shopper or retail partner sees before they choose Sum Up: packaging, in-store displays, Amazon listings, retail landing pages, co-branded materials and event content. With major launches ahead, including Tap to Pay, new hardware and Sum Up’s first consumer proposition in retail, this role is the one place where messaging, production and sign off come together before anything goes live.

It’s a rare mix of strategy and craft: setting the retail narrative, then writing, briefing and quality checking the content that makes each launch land with the right audience, on time and on brand.
