Stevenage with Hybrid Working
At the IET, making our world a better place starts by creating a better place for our people.
At the IET you’ll have more than just a job. Our work is exciting and challenging, connecting the people who solve the problems that matter. It means working with us has real meaning and impact, and you’ll grow – professionally and personally – in ways you never thought possible.
We’re also making significant investments in our people, including providing a modern, vibrant workplace and embracing hybrid working.
What you'll be doing
As our Content Development Executive, you'll be at the heart of our storytelling efforts, crafting engaging, high-quality content that propels our communications, brand, and marketing campaigns to new heights. You'll be the mastermind behind writing, editing, and adapting content across various formats – think articles, social media posts, case studies, and videos. Your creativity will ensure our content resonates with our audience, aligns with our brand voice, and is optimised for digital channels. Plus, you'll play a crucial role in content planning, collaborating with key stakeholders, and supporting the final delivery of assets through image selection and basic design tasks using tools like Canva.
What we hope you can bring to the role
We're on the lookout for someone with a proven track record in content creation across digital and print platforms. Your exceptional writing and editing skills will shine as you adapt tone and style to fit different formats and audiences. A strong grasp of digital content optimisation, including SEO best practices, is a big plus, as is familiarity with social media platforms. Experience in conducting interviews, developing case studies, and collaborating with multiple teams will set you apart. You'll also need to be highly organised, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple content projects independently.
