Since 2013, we’ve helped millions of people around the world invest safely in crypto. We do this by cutting through the hype and supporting customers at every step of the way. All products and cryptocurrencies on our platform must first meet stringent legal, risk and technical security standards.
Transparency is key for us. Luno stores all crypto on a 1:1 basis and we have rigorous processes in place so you can be confident your investment is secure. We’re available in more than 40 countries around the world and we work closely with respective regulators in all of these markets to be fully compliant, as we believe this is the best way to help everyone, everywhere, invest safely.
The Role In A Nutshell:
We’re looking for a Head of Content & Copy to take ownership of all written communication at Luno. This is a hybrid role that combines hands-on writing with strategic oversight: you’ll be shaping our editorial vision and brand voice, while also producing high-quality copy across CRM, press releases, campaigns, and product touchpoints.
You’ll lead and mentor a small but mighty team of writers, ensuring consistency and creativity across everything we say, from app notifications to long-form thought leadership. The ideal candidate blends editorial judgement with marketing savvy, has experience in financial services or crypto, and knows how to make complex ideas simple and compelling for everyday investors.
Your Mission Will Be:
- Define, refine, and protect Luno’s tone of voice across all markets and channels.
- Write and edit copy for high-priority initiatives including CRM, PR, campaigns, website, and product marketing.
- Provide editorial oversight of all copy outputs across the marketing team.
- Partner with product, design, and marketing leads to ensure copy enhances both user experience and brand storytelling.
- Manage and mentor a team of two copywriters, setting priorities, giving feedback, and fostering growth.
- Develop and maintain content guidelines and playbooks to scale consistency across global markets.
- Stay on top of industry trends, crypto adoption narratives, and customer behaviour to inform our content strategy.
- Ensure compliance with regulatory and legal standards in all markets.
A Little About You:
- Extensive experience in content, copywriting, or editorial, ideally with a blend of agency and in-house brand work.
- Strong track record writing across a range of formats, from social media posts to long-form articles and press releases.
- Experience in financial services, fintech, or crypto with an understanding of consumer behaviour in investment products.
- Excellent editing skills and an eye for detail; you can spot inconsistencies a mile away.
- Comfortable balancing hands-on writing with people management and strategy.
- Ability to translate complex financial and technical concepts into clear, engaging language.
- Collaborative mindset with the ability to work across creative, marketing, and product teams.
