Copywriter

Location: London hybrid

Salary expectation: £48,396 to £55,644

Application deadline: Mon 9th March

This is a full-time role

This is your chance to use words to drive change — turning complex global campaigns into clear, compelling stories that move people to act.

Greenpeace UK is an independent national/regional organisation within the global Greenpeace campaigning network, which acts to change attitudes and behaviour, to protect and conserve the environment and to promote peace. The global network of Greenpeace organisations comprises 26 independent national/regional Greenpeace organisations with presence in over 55 countries across Europe, Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, as well as a coordinating and supporting organisation, Greenpeace International.

As part of our in-house Creative Studio, you’ll help shape how Greenpeace shows up in the world. From high-profile campaign messaging to major reports, supporter communications and advertising copy, your words will inform, inspire and mobilise.

A strategic and audience-led writer, you’ll translate complex political and scientific issues into powerful narratives that cut through. Working collaboratively with designers, creative producers and campaigners, you’ll ensure that copy and visual storytelling work seamlessly together — delivering work that is bold, rigorous and unmistakably Greenpeace.

You’ll lead the planning and execution of major editorial projects, take ownership of high-stakes campaign materials and supporter communications, and help evolve and safeguard our house style and tone of voice across the organisation. Whether drafting web copy, shaping scripts for multi-channel outputs, or interviewing contributors for our supporter newsletter, you’ll bring clarity, creativity and precision to everything you produce.

This is a role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving creative environment, enjoys working from idea through to execution, and understands how language can be used strategically to influence audiences — from committed supporters to political decision-makers.

Location: Islington, London. This role offers hybrid working, with regular attendance in the office to collaborate with the Creative Studio team. Reasonable adjustments as well as specific office-based needs will be considered for those with long term health conditions and disabilities.

You’ll have

  • Significant experience of writing, editing and proofreading within an in-house creative team or agency environment.
  • A track record of leading high-quality copy and editorial projects across multiple formats — including major reports, high-volume supporter communications and campaign materials.
  • Experience of turning complex or technical information into clear, persuasive and audience-appropriate narratives.
  • Strong collaboration skills and experience of working closely with designers and creative teams from concept through to delivery.
  • Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • A deep understanding of tone of voice, brand consistency and ethical storytelling.
  • A commitment to accessibility, inclusion and continuous improvement in written communications.
  • An interest in campaigning, environmental justice and non-violent direct action.

Deadline: Mon 9th March
