Brand guidelines and quality governance

• Act as a brand guardian across the business – reviewing work, flagging inconsistencies, and making sure everything we put out meets the bar
• Bring an impeccable eye for detail and strong copy editing and reviewing skills to every piece of work that crosses your desk
• Partner with design, content, and product teams to embed brand standards into day-to-day ways of working

Stakeholder management

• Work closely with product, marketing, comms, and commercial teams to make sure brand thinking is embedded early – not bolted on at the end
• Build strong, trusted relationships across the business, helping teams take their work from good to great
• Present brand strategy and rationale clearly to senior stakeholders
• Influence and brand authority – bringing people along on the brand journey, helping them to realise that brand is there to help, not hinder
• Delivering brand training and onboarding sessions to different teams

AI and brand

• Champion the use of AI tools to help OVO stay on brand at scale – from reviewing copy and assets to supporting teams working at speed
• Help establish AI as a practical, everyday tool that supports brand consistency across the business
• Work with relevant teams to identify where AI can strengthen brand governance without compromising quality or creative judgment
• Explore ways that we can bring together more skills, gems and workflows that implement AI across the business, helping to create on brand content
