Junior Brand Copywriter  

Title Junior Brand Copywriter (Internal Comms) Department Design and Comms Location Manchester (Old Trafford), Hybrid Reporting to Head of Brand Copy  Salary £28,000 

Role Purpose Do you know the difference between an internal update people actually read and one they scroll past on autopilot? Are you the kind of person who can turn “Quick reminder” into “Okay, fine, I’ll read this”?, or perhaps write an Insta caption that makes even a calendar update feel like a moment? If you’re nodding your head, keep reading. 

PHMG is entering a defining growth chapter. We are newly employee-owned, so you are not just doing the work, you have a stake in what it builds, certified Great Place to Work, and moving beyond our audio heritage into a broader suite of client communication tools. Big milestones are coming this year, and joining now means your words help shape how it feels from the inside. 

As our Junior Brand Copywriter, you will write the copy that keeps people connected, informed and excited. Company events. Culture moments. Leadership updates. You will treat tone of voice as non-negotiable, and you will know when AI helps you move faster without letting it flatten originality, accuracy, or the brand. 

Responsibilities • Create high-quality internal content across key channels, including Workvivo posts, internal newsletters, internal updates and event comms, with clarity doing the heavy lifting. • Partner with People, Culture and internal stakeholders to strengthen internal messaging, balancing warmth with what people need to know. • Write internal posts that earn attention and participation, including headlines, hooks and CTAs that feel sharp, relevant and human. • Help develop, protect and evolve internal tone of voice, keeping it consistent across every touchpoint. • Build excitement around what’s happening at PHMG, from launches and milestones to everyday wins, making it easy for people to understand what matters and why. • Support high-visibility moments with confident copy, including scripts for events and content shown company-wide, yes, potentially on the big screen at Victoria Warehouse.  

Skills and Experience

• Proven copywriting experience in a commercial environment, with internal comms, employer brand, or culture content in the mix. • Strong brand communications skills, with the ability to apply tone of voice consistently across formats and audiences. • A great portfolio or examples that showcase your talent across formats, particularly internal posts, captions, announcements and event comms. • Confident short-form writing skills, especially social-style captions that stop the scroll and sound like a person, not a poster. • Strong editing and proofreading skills, with a sharp eye for detail and accuracy. • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with confidence working across teams and stakeholders. • Ability to meet deadlines and thrive in a fast-paced environment, without losing the plot or the punctuation. 

Success Measures • Internal engagement improves over time, with stronger reach, reactions and participation driven by iteration and better storytelling. • Copy is on-brand, clear, and delivered on time with minimal rework. • Company events and key moments are better attended and better understood because the comms builds real momentum. • Tone of voice is embedded internally and recognised as consistent and distinctive. • Stakeholders trust your work because it is accurate, audience-first and easy to use. 

Why PHMG We work with almost 40,000 clients worldwide, including Coca-Cola and Samsung, plus thousands of SMEs who are just as serious about growth. Try finding somewhere else with that mix. It means you will be part of a business with real momentum, and your internal comms will help people feel it. 

We’re known for craft and creativity, but we’re building something even bigger. After 27 years reaching the pinnacle of audio branding, we’re now expanding into new products and services. This year is a major acceleration point, with big milestones and announcements ahead, making it a rare moment to join and help shape what comes next. 

This is the storytelling engine behind a business in motion. You will be the sharp edge of how the business feels on the inside, how people stay connected, and how culture shows up on a random Wednesday as well as the biggest night of the year. 

You will also be joining an in-house team shaped by people who have worked at some of the most prestigious agencies. You get the high standards and sharp feedback, with the upside of being in-house: you can build consistency, develop a voice over time, and see the long-term impact of what you make, rather than waving goodbye the moment the campaign ends. 

What you can expect  You will get a strong benefits package, a smart pension scheme and life insurance, plus wellbeing support like Help@Hand and a free PureGym membership. You will also get a holiday allowance that goes up by one day for each year of service. You will work from a modern office with creative spaces, breakout areas and a bar, and you will join a culture that actually shows up for its people, from the seasonal gala to socials and teams like football and netball. Most importantly, you will be trusted to bring ideas, challenge the brief, and push the work from good to genuinely great, building a portfolio you are proud of while your writing gets tested at real scale. 

So, if you are reading this thinking, “I could write a better job description,” we should probably talk.
