As a Strategic Writer, you will be a core member of our close-knit, multi-disciplinary creative team, working alongside designers,
technologists, and deal leaders to conceive and deliver compelling end-to-end deal narratives. You will play a pivotal role in shaping
how our solutions are articulated—bringing clarity, structure, and persuasive storytelling to executive-level audiences.
If you are passionate about crafting high-impact narratives, thrive in fast-paced environments, and enjoy working on high-stakes
pursuits, this role is for you.
Work You’ll Deliver
The Strategic Writer synthesizes complex inputs—including technical architectures, commercial
models, client strategies, and competitive insights—into clear, persuasive narratives for large strategic sales opportunities.
You will:
• Develop overarching deal narratives and messaging frameworks
• Write and refine executive-level content for proposals, presentations, value propositions, case studies, and supporting
assets
• Partner with designers to ensure written and visual storytelling are tightly integrated
• Translate highly technical content into clear, client-centric language without losing credibility or nuance
• Work at pace under tight, client-driven deadlines, often across multiple concurrent pursuits
• Champion the use of AI-assisted writing tools to accelerate drafting, editing, and content iteration while maintaining
quality and consistency
The team operates much like an external agency, requiring flexibility, resilience, and comfort working in fast-moving,
high-pressure environments.
What We’re Looking For
• Exceptional written communication skills with a strong command of structure, tone, and narrative flow
• Proven ability to craft executive-level messaging for senior client audiences
• Strong strategic thinking—able to connect business outcomes, technology, and client value into a coherent story
• Confidence working directly with senior stakeholders and subject-matter experts
• AI-forward mindset: comfortable using AI tools to support ideation, drafting, and refinement
• Ability to manage ambiguity and deliver high-quality outputs against tight deadlines
• Strong collaboration skills across global, multi-disciplinary teams
• Meticulous attention to detail combined with the ability to see the “big picture”
• Comfort receiving and incorporating feedback from both creative and non-creative stakeholders
Preferred Technical and Professional Experience
• Experience writing for consulting, technology, or professional services environments
• Familiarity with large-scale digital, cloud, data, AI, or transformation programmes
• Experience contributing to or leading responses for complex RFPs or strategic bids
