Job Description

Role OVO-View

Team: OVO Solar & Heating

Location: Hybrid - London (Notting Hill) up to twice a week

Salary banding: £55,000 - £65,000

Experience: Mid-level/Expert

Working pattern: Full-Time

Reporting to: Head of Revenue

Sponsorship: Unfortunately we are unable to offer sponsorship for this role.

Where you’ll work:

Depending on the needs of your business area, we expect hub based people to be in the office at least once a week, and to go to OVO Connection events in-person.

You’ll be assigned to the closest one of our three hub offices, Bristol, Glasgow, or London; unless your role requires field-based work. Each hub has accessible spaces to park your laptop, is designed to inspire people, help them connect and bring big ideas to life.

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:

This role sits in a fast paced and autonomous corporate venture called OVO Solar & Heating, whose remit is to re-establish and grow OVO’s renewables business. The business was launched in March 2025 on a highly innovative Franchising business model, and within 4 months outpaced OVO’s best ever monthly solar sales. By the end of 2027, the unit is expected to be one of the largest solar & heat pump installation companies in the UK.

This role in a nutshell:

As a Content & Brand Manager, you’ll level-up how OVO Solar & Heating presents itself to customers - clearly, credibly and at scale. This is a 12-month contract role and reports directly to the Head of Revenue.

Your key outcomes will be:

Brand & narrative ownership

• Refine our UVPs and ensure they’re clear across all customer touchpoints (e.g. website, email comms, quote pack, marketing campaigns, etc.) - make them bold, engaging and consistent
• Hold the pen on our comms plan - what we talk about, when and where - including seasonal campaigns, channel strategy, etc.

Content strategy to drive growth

• Define the strategy for how we use content to drive growth
• Create engaging content for chosen channels
• Run activity across selected channels e.g. Meta, Youtube, LinkedIn, Blogs etc.
• Longer term, deliver larger campaigns + stunts with the wider OVO energy

Asset building to support growth initiatives

• Support content creation (visual + written word) for marketing campaigns, partnerships, and digital collateral across the Revenue, Product, Tech & Operations teams

Facilitate Franchisees to do local marketing well

• Maintain a playbook for what “good” looks like in local marketing
• Provide templates, guidance, and guardrails for franchisees
• Act as an advisor and sounding board for local teams
• Monitor quality and ensure compliance with contractual terms

A successful Content & Brand Manager at OVO…

• Pragmatic, resourceful and fast-moving - happy to operate in an ambiguous environment and make judgement calls
• Delivery focused - biased toward shipping complete, usable outputs, not just ideas or drafts.
• Customer-first mindset - optimise content for clarity, customer understanding, and commercial impact
• Enabler by default, enforcer by exception — support, unblock and accelerate in almost all cases, only policing where there is clear and significant risk
• Demonstrable experience in fast moving start-up environments (ideally B2C)
• Content creation capability, producing high-quality written and visually appealing assets (e.g. ad banners, customer comms, social posts, website copy, etc.)
• Experience executing multi-channel marketing initiatives, with the judgement to prioritise the channels and messages that drive commercial impact
• Comfortable operating as an individual contributor working across multiple stakeholders (e.g. internal teams, franchisees, product, etc.)
