Where you’ll work :

At OVO, we understand that a one size fits all approach doesn’t work for everyone. That’s why we created the OVO Way of Flexibility.

All our roles are hub based (Bristol, Glasgow or London), providing a dedicated space for collaboration, connection and teamwork. You’ll also have the flexibility to work from home.

Everyone belongs at OVO

At OVO, we are on a mission to solve one of humanity’s biggest challenges, the climate crisis. And we know it takes all of us to change the world. That’s why we need diverse people from all abilities, gender identities, ethnicities, ages, sexual orientations, life experiences and backgrounds to join us.

Teamworking for the planet

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. So, naturally, the team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Here’s how :

Our Corporate Affairs, Brand & Marketing team are the face and voice of OVO. We determine how we show up in the world, responsible for everything from our brand platform to social media. Our focus is to help the business deliver on its common goal – making energy work for people and planet, and making sure consumers and external stakeholders understand that as well we all do.

Creative strategy and comms planning is a fundamental function within the Brand & Marketing department – upstream visibility, synthesising strategic priorities and key messages from across the business into a clear, actionable and ongoing plan for the OVO Brand, before turning this plan into inspiring briefs for our best-in-class in-house design studio to bring to life through channels.

The goal is always to build positive associations with consumers and inspire them to join us on our mission. To do that, they need to easily understand what we offer, how it benefits them and their home, and how they can decarbonise and save energy.

What we do can split into three key areas :

• What we can say : Keeping a macro one-view of all the messages we can claim. Taking an immediate and more long-term view on how these may evolve.
• What we should say (and when) : Aligning commercial goals, product pipelines, customers needs, competitor movements and external factors across each quarter to build an impactful comms strategy.
• How and where should we say it : Collaborating with channel-leads to define a holistic plan, before partnering with stakeholders to translate that into insight-laden creative briefs

This role in a nutshell :

You will report into the Head of Comms Planning (based in London), but work closely with the entire brand team, as well as be seen as an extension of the creative and design studio. You’ll work closely with all of them to help broaden visibility of the ever-changing landscape of the business, adhering to efficient processes and initiatives and acting as the creative oracle for effectiveness and the power of creativity.

This is an exciting and broad-reaching role which requires someone organised, strategic and creative. This role would suit someone naturally curious who considers themselves a bit of a ‘swiss army knife’ in terms of their skill-set but looking to sharpen their strategic thinking and planning skills.

Your key outcomes will be :

You’ll be a successful Integrated Creative & Comms Strategist here at OVO if you…
