Copywriter

If you’ve got a passion for puns, a love for wonderful wordsmithing and a craving for colourful copy, we want to hear from you. We’re looking for a talented Copywriter to join our Copy Team.  

Working across Greene King’s portfolio of brands, you will be responsible for creating compelling copy across a whole host of creative formats, from emails and web pages to paid media and printed menus. Life in Marketing is busy and fast-paced, but you’ll be more than comfortable working on multiple projects (and with different tones of voice) at the same time. You’ll also have pinpoint accuracy when it comes to proofreading, and you’ll always be on the look out for beautiful words and phrases to bring to your role.  

Join us at Greene King the country's leading pub company and brewer, where our mission is to pour happiness into lives and become the pride of great British hospitality. We have something special, deeply rooted in our 220-year brewing and pub history, creating the business we are proudly known for today. Still today our 39,000 strong team are the guardians of what’s wholly British, the pub experience.
