Spun out from the University of Oxford in 2017, Opsydia is a specialist laser technology company harnessing decades of academic excellence and experience in adaptive optics that enable the writing of features in transparent materials. Our writing technology has gone on to provide functionalities across many scientific and industrial areas.
Our technology provides a platform for functional devices in transparent materials such as optical glass and diamond, with several disruptive applications ranging from datacoms, quantum to sensing devices.
The Role
Working across our R&D, Engineering, Sales and Business Development teams, you will be responsible for delivering engaging technical communications that translate complex concepts into clear, compelling content for customers, partners, prospective employees and internal stakeholders.
You will create and manage a range of content including articles, case studies, presentations, newsletters, website updates, social media communications and marketing materials, helping to showcase Opsydia's technology, innovation and expertise.
A key part of the role is working with teams across the business to capture technical developments, project successes and customer impact, turning these into effective stories that strengthen our brand, support commercial growth and enhance employee engagement.
You will also lead the planning and coordination of exhibitions, conferences, and internal events, ensuring every interaction reflects the professionalism, innovation and culture of the business and that the team have the appropriate materials and collaterals fit for purpose.
In addition, you will support internal communications, helping to bring the company's vision, strategy, brand and values to life, reinforcing Opsydia as both a technology leader and a great place to work.
You will conduct market and competitor research, support campaign planning and performance reporting, and ensure communications, marketing and event activities are delivered efficiently and effectively.
