- Provide publication-ready content to Internal Communications, Creative, Digital, and PR.

- Maintain editorial quality, factual accuracy, version control, and alignment with Shift’s messaging and tone of voice.

- Support issues and crisis communications through research, drafting, and message development.

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

- Exceptional writing and editing skills.

- Strong editorial judgement and attention to detail.

- Ability to simplify complex information and identify the key message.

- Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills.

- Highly organised with strong project-management capability.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
