About The Role
Hippo Digital is recruiting for

Content designers ensure that people get the information they need, when and where they need it, in a format that's right for them.

As an intermediate consultant specialising in content design, you'll come to Hippo with strong content design skills and some experience of advising others on how to produce user-centred content.

In return, we'll provide exciting opportunities to develop further within your profession and as a consultant with clients.
