We're looking for a Senior Stylist to set and hold the styling tone of the season across everything we shoot - campaign, e-commerce and content. This is a role for someone with a strong visual eye and a real point of view. You'll work closely with the Creative Director and Head of Design to translate the seasonal design story into styling that feels considered, current and unmistakably Monsoon or Accessorize - then make sure that tone carries consistently from a campaign hero image through to a cut-out on a marketplace listing. Our in-house studio produces all e-commerce, campaign and video content across three brand streams, plus assets for third-party retail partners and marketplaces.

We'd love to hear from you if you're calm under shoot-day pressure, collaborative with your team, and have a sharp eye for detail. You bring ideas to the table, give clear, considered feedback and always keep the bigger seasonal picture in mind - seeing every project through to the finish!

About Us Sokin is a next-generation B2B financial services provider, enabling businesses to make and About Us Sokin is a next-generation B2B financial services provider, enabling businesses to make and receive global payments with greater speed, lower cost, and total transparency. Our mission is simple: we're simplifying global business - so businesses thrive wherever they Choose To Grow. We Deliver Services Across Global payments and receivables Foreign Exchange (FX) Treasury management Finance reconciliations We are rapidly expanding, with established presence in EMEA, APAC, and North America. Backed by a strong global infrastructure and industry-leading partners, we are redefining how businesses move money worldwide. Our clients span industries from sports and entertainment to logistics and travel, and our community is growing fast. As we continue to scale, we're building a team of exceptional people who share our ambition to transform the future of global payments About The Role As Director of Content, you will own Sokin's global content strategy and the operating model behind it. You will turn our company strategy, product innovation, customer insight and market expertise into a distinctive body of work that builds authority with CFOs, treasurers, finance leaders and the wider fintech ecosystem. You will lead a distributed team across London, Dubai and New York, spanning content strategy, writing, production and video. You will set the editorial bar, decide where Sokin should lead the conversation and build a high-output production system that delivers quality at pace. This is not a role for someone who only manages a calendar or commissions work from a distance. You will be a hands on leader: shaping big ideas, editing important work, developing senior voices and helping the team turn complex financial subjects into content people actively choose to read, watch and share. Key Responsibilities Content strategy and narrative Set and continually evolve Sokin's global content strategy, editorial point of view and priority narratives. Translate business priorities, product direction and customer problems into a focused editorial agenda for CFO, treasury and finance audiences. Create a clear architecture across thought leadership, product storytelling, customer proof, campaigns, executive content. Identify the topics Sokin has the authority to own, and build recognisable franchises and formats around them. Protect a consistent voice while ensuring content remains useful, specific and relevant across markets. Editorial leadership and production Lead the end-to-end development of flagship work, from the original insight and brief through writing, editing, production and distribution. Work closely with the social team to translate core editorial ideas into platform-native content that earns attention across channels. Use audience behaviour and performance insights to strengthen future commissioning, creating a clear feedback loop between what the team produces, how it is distributed and what resonates. Set a high editorial and creative bar across long-form, short-form and video content; give direct, constructive feedback that improves the work. Personally shape and edit high-value pieces including reports, executive narratives, major launches, customer stories, scripts and opinion-led content. Develop a repeatable system that turns one strong idea into multiple valuable formats rather than simply increasing output. Team and operating model Lead, coach and develop a distributed team of content producers and writers and video specialists across London, Dubai and New York. Define clear roles, standards, workflows and decision rights so the team can move quickly. Plan capacity and balance major strategic bets with the day-to-day needs of the business. Build a modern, AI-enabled content operation that improves research, repurposing, localisation and workflow efficiency while keeping human judgement and originality at the centre. Manage specialist agencies, freelancers and production partners where external expertise adds value. Distribution and commercial impact Work closely with Brand, Social, Product Marketing, Demand Generation, Regional Marketing, Communications, SEO and Web to connect content with the full customer journey. Ensure distribution is considered from the brief, with a clear audience, channel role and intended action for every major asset. Use audience, engagement, search and commercial data to understand what is working; stop low-value activity and invest further in formats that earn attention and influence demand. Build a measurement framework that connects leading indicators such as reach, returning audience and engagement quality with business outcomes including product consideration, influenced pipeline and brand authority. What success looks like Sokin has a clear and distinctive editorial point of view that its priority audiences recognise. Flagship content earns attention outside Sokin's existing network and becomes useful to CFOs, treasurers and finance leaders. Senior leaders are known for credible, differentiated perspectives in the areas Sokin wants to own. The team operates with clarity, speed and consistently high standards across locations and formats. Content is demonstrably contributing to audience growth, product understanding, brand authority and commercial demand. AI and smarter workflows increase the team's leverage without producing generic or low-quality work. Requirements 10+ years of experience leading content in a fast-growing B2B technology, fintech, financial services or similarly complex category. Evidence that you have built or significantly evolved a content operation, not only inherited and maintained one. A strong portfolio of distinctive work across editorial, thought leadership, campaigns, executive storytelling and video. Exceptional editorial judgement: you can find the sharp idea, simplify complexity, improve a draft and recognise when work is not good enough. Experience leading and developing multidisciplinary teams, including people working across different locations and time zones. Strong knowledge of content distribution, SEO and audience development, with the ability to connect content choices to commercial outcomes. A practical understanding of how AI can improve the content system, paired with a clear belief that technology does not replace taste, expertise or accountability. Comfort operating in a regulated environment where speed, accuracy and good judgement all matter. We are an equal opportunities employer committed to creating an inclusive work environment. As a growing global startup, we value agility and flexibility in our working culture. If you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, please let us know.

This role requires that you are resident and have the right to work in the UK. About NEON NEON is a not-for-profit organisation that exists to help social justice movements win. We build capacity and infrastructure to accelerate the transition to a new economy. We work across a wide range of progressive issues including climate, housing, healthcare and migration. Across our three hubs (movement building, communications and operations) we support a network of over 1000 movement organisations working towards political and social justice in the UK. This role is anchored within NEON s Comms Hub. Established 10 years ago, the Comms Hub is a powerful, effective, pillar of the UK s progressive communications infrastructure. The Hub convenes, networks, and books progressive spokespeople into the media at scale (averaging 1,500-2,000 media bookings a year), produces clear, usable tested messaging guidance that cuts through, and trains comms professionals (around 500 people annually). Our team serves as a go-to resource for strategic comms advice and planning, and crisis-comms support for groups across the progressive movement. NEON s Comms Hub is relied on by a wide-range of organisations: from grassroots campaigners to expert insiders. The Comms Hub has five programmes, and Digital will be the sixth programme. Read more about the structure of the Comms Hub here, before applying. Purpose of this role The Head of Digital is an exciting new role at NEON. This role will be responsible for designing and running a flagship new digital programme, that will sit at the heart of NEON s Communications Hub. The aim of the digital programme will be to help connect, strengthen and scale the UK s progressive digital comms infrastructure. Right now, progressive movements are losing the "air game" to far-right voices who are effectively using podcasts, social media, new media platforms and smart, aggressive, experimental digital strategies to dominate and shape national debates. Working closely with our experienced Comms Hub team, and our trusted networks, this role is a unique opportunity to be part of building the digital comms networks, skills and strategies progressive movements need to take on the rising far right and win. At NEON, that would mean: convening and co-ordinating communities of digital comms experts, creators, editors and strategists; designing and delivering effective targeted digital skills training that will build capacity and confidence; supporting our 24/7 spokesperson and media booking team by setting up effective clipping and distribution programmes; and identifying opportunities to collaborate with our partners to run high-impact reactive digital strategies that shift the conversation. What you ll be doing: The successful candidate will play an active role in shaping the strategy and focus of this programme, as well as the sequencing of the roll out of key workstreams. However, this role is likely to be anchored around the following key responsibilities. In this role, you will: Lead the strategy development and delivery of the new digital comms programme, alongside the Co-Directors of the Comms Hub. Set up and manage a supportive, reactive social media unit within our existing Spokesperson Network, with the support of our Media and Messaging teams. This unit will clip interviews and create original content for our established network of spokespeople, and help to secure bookings in new digital-first media outlets. Work closely with the whole Comms Hub team, to design and convene a powerful co-ordinated network of progressive creators and influencers. Built from our existing spokesperson pool, as well as new networks, members of this digital creator network will be individuals with the backing of social movements and the reach, potential and positioning to shape the national debate. Together with the Heads of Messaging, Training and Media, you will help to provide this network with hands-on training and strategy support, evidence-based messaging, and traditional and new media booking opportunities. Design and oversee a strategic, effective suite of digital training offers, designed to upskill influential progressive spokespeople, movements and groups, at scale. This will include shaping our existing training programmes, as well as designing and developing new offers. This could include: a half-day follow-up to our flagship 3-day spokesperson training, a one-day digital strategy training for comms teams within our networks, and shaping our bespoke, issue-specific and crisis-focused trainings to support groups dealing with online-hate or abuse. This workstream will be supported by our Head of Training, relevant Comms Hub team members and delivered with the support of external consultant trainers. Identify opportunities to trial and run effective digital experiments with partners and movement groups within the Comms Hub. For example, this could look like collaborating with a network of migrants-rights groups to create co-ordinated digital content to push-back against a far-right attack at a moment of whirlwind . Or spotting an opportunity to work with the Head of Messaging to trial a new AI-driven platform to A/B test messaging in targeted ads during a movement campaign on wealth taxes. Set up a network of consultants to support and deliver the core programme workstreams including: freelance videographers, editors, digital strategists and trainers. Provide on-going 1:1 support to our spokespeople and allied organisations, particularly during moments of crisis and whirl-wind . Provide regular insights to our partners on the digital trends shaping public opinion and national discourse. Play an active role in the wider Comms Hub strategy and day-to-day operations, including attending our weekly strategy meetings, feeding into key messaging and narrative development projects, and supporting delivery across the hub. Oversee and the digital programme s finances and budget on a month-to-month basis, and the programmes Fundraising Strategy, with the support of the Co-Directors of Comms and the Head of Fundraising. Play an active part in the wider NEON team, contributing to organisation-wide plans. Who you are: You will be someone with: 5 10 years experience in digital comms, including developing and deploying a strategy for multi-year multi-project programmes of work A track record of creating innovative, high-impact digital campaigns and content that push forward a progressive agenda Hands-on experience of creating shareable and persuasive video and digital content, campaigns and strategies that cut through, reache new audiences at scale, mobilise movements and persuade new audiences of progressive ideas A strong understanding of digital media, and a natural enthusiasm for tracking and responding to new trends in a fast-changing digital media landscape Someone who enjoys piloting new approaches, experimenting with new techniques and quickly jumping on opportunities to tell compelling progressive stories online. Experience developing the tone, positioning and personal brand of an organisation, spokesperson or individual online. A strong understanding of the news agenda you ll enjoy being plugged in to how online conversations are changing, and be able to quickly jump on opportunities to tell a compelling alternative progressive story. Experience collaborating with creators, influencers, and a range of partners to deliver creative, hard-hitting campaigns, grow reach, drive action and really change minds A strong understanding of different audience types, and experience adapting messaging and using digital testing methods to assess impact and improve performance. Experience designing and running effective, inclusive training for diverse groups of people, with the ability to help others land powerful, shareable content too. Politically aware and motivated by progressive causes, with a commitment to centring anti-oppression in your work and helping ensure people especially those from marginalised backgrounds stay safe online and get their voices heard. Excellent team-working and relationship-building skills, with experience building networks, making connections and working across differences. Experience of fundraising, including building and maintaining funder relationships and making a compelling case for projects to a range of stakeholders. We know that people from certain backgrounds and identities are often excluded in progressive movements and we re committed to doing what we can to correct this. So: We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Disabled people and those who identify as working class or have done so in the past. We know the work goes way beyond "diversity", it's about making the space inclusive too. So we are continuously working on that at NEON. So far this includes tangible things like a flexible work policy so people have genuine flexibility around where and when they work and a 28 hour week as standard; a gender-neutral parenting/leave policy, an anti-oppression strategy which is held at senior level given how important it is to the organisation. It also includes the day-to-day work of creating psychological safety for everyone at NEON and celebrating the wisdom of black, indigenous, queer, Disabled and other cultures in the way we work and behave . click apply for full job details

Right now, progressive movements are losing the "air game" to far-right voices who are effectively using podcasts, social media, new media platforms and smart, aggressive, experimental digital strategies to dominate and shape national debates. Working closely with our experienced Comms Hub team, and our trusted networks, this role is a unique opportunity to be part of building the digital comms networks, skills and strategies progressive movements need to take on the rising far right and win. At NEON, that would mean: convening and co-ordinating communities of digital comms experts, creators, editors and strategists; designing and delivering effective targeted digital skills training that will build capacity and confidence; supporting our 24/7 spokesperson and media booking team by setting up effective clipping and distribution programmes; and identifying opportunities to collaborate with our partners to run high-impact reactive digital strategies that shift the conversation. What you ll be doing: The successful candidate will play an active role in shaping the strategy and focus of this programme, as well as the sequencing of the roll out of key workstreams. However, this role is likely to be anchored around the following key responsibilities. In this role, you will: Lead the strategy development and delivery of the new digital comms programme, alongside the Co-Directors of the Comms Hub. Set up and manage a supportive, reactive social media unit within our existing Spokesperson Network, with the support of our Media and Messaging teams. This unit will clip interviews and create original content for our established network of spokespeople, and help to secure bookings in new digital-first media outlets. Work closely with the whole Comms Hub team, to design and convene a powerful co-ordinated network of progressive creators and influencers. Built from our existing spokesperson pool, as well as new networks, members of this digital creator network will be individuals with the backing of social movements and the reach, potential and positioning to shape the national debate. Together with the Heads of Messaging, Training and Media, you will help to provide this network with hands-on training and strategy support, evidence-based messaging, and traditional and new media booking opportunities. Design and oversee a strategic, effective suite of digital training offers, designed to upskill influential progressive spokespeople, movements and groups, at scale. This will include shaping our existing training programmes, as well as designing and developing new offers. This could include: a half-day follow-up to our flagship 3-day spokesperson training, a one-day digital strategy training for comms teams within our networks, and shaping our bespoke, issue-specific and crisis-focused trainings to support groups dealing with online-hate or abuse. This workstream will be supported by our Head of Training, relevant Comms Hub team members and delivered with the support of external consultant trainers. Identify opportunities to trial and run effective digital experiments with partners and movement groups within the Comms Hub. For example, this could look like collaborating with a network of migrants-rights groups to create co-ordinated digital content to push-back against a far-right attack at a moment of whirlwind . Or spotting an opportunity to work with the Head of Messaging to trial a new AI-driven platform to A/B test messaging in targeted ads during a movement campaign on wealth taxes. Set up a network of consultants to support and deliver the core programme workstreams including: freelance videographers, editors, digital strategists and trainers. Provide on-going 1:1 support to our spokespeople and allied organisations, particularly during moments of crisis and whirl-wind . Provide regular insights to our partners on the digital trends shaping public opinion and national discourse. Play an active role in the wider Comms Hub strategy and day-to-day operations, including attending our weekly strategy meetings, feeding into key messaging and narrative development projects, and supporting delivery across the hub. Oversee and the digital programme s finances and budget on a month-to-month basis, and the programmes Fundraising Strategy, with the support of the Co-Directors of Comms and the Head of Fundraising. Play an active part in the wider NEON team, contributing to organisation-wide plans. Who you are: You will be someone with: 5 10 years experience in digital comms, including developing and deploying a strategy for multi-year multi-project programmes of work A track record of creating innovative, high-impact digital campaigns and content that push forward a progressive agenda Hands-on experience of creating shareable and persuasive video and digital content, campaigns and strategies that cut through, reache new audiences at scale, mobilise movements and persuade new audiences of progressive ideas A strong understanding of digital media, and a natural enthusiasm for tracking and responding to new trends in a fast-changing digital media landscape Someone who enjoys piloting new approaches, experimenting with new techniques and quickly jumping on opportunities to tell compelling progressive stories online. Experience developing the tone, positioning and personal brand of an organisation, spokesperson or individual online. A strong understanding of the news agenda you ll enjoy being plugged in to how online conversations are changing, and be able to quickly jump on opportunities to tell a compelling alternative progressive story. Experience collaborating with creators, influencers, and a range of partners to deliver creative, hard-hitting campaigns, grow reach, drive action and really change minds A strong understanding of different audience types, and experience adapting messaging and using digital testing methods to assess impact and improve performance. Experience designing and running effective, inclusive training for diverse groups of people, with the ability to help others land powerful, shareable content too. Politically aware and motivated by progressive causes, with a commitment to centring anti-oppression in your work and helping ensure people especially those from marginalised backgrounds stay safe online and get their voices heard. Excellent team-working and relationship-building skills, with experience building networks, making connections and working across differences. Experience of fundraising, including building and maintaining funder relationships and making a compelling case for projects to a range of stakeholders. We know that people from certain backgrounds and identities are often excluded in progressive movements and we re committed to doing what we can to correct this. So: We particularly welcome applications from marginalised groups, especially people of colour and other ethnic minorities, people who identify as LGBTQIA, Disabled people and those who identify as working class or have done so in the past. We know the work goes way beyond "diversity", it's about making the space inclusive too. So we are continuously working on that at NEON. So far this includes tangible things like a flexible work policy so people have genuine flexibility around where and when they work and a 28 hour week as standard; a gender-neutral parenting/leave policy, an anti-oppression strategy which is held at senior level given how important it is to the organisation. It also includes the day-to-day work of creating psychological safety for everyone at NEON and celebrating the wisdom of black, indigenous, queer, Disabled and other cultures in the way we work and behave . click apply for full job details
