Who are we looking for?
We at Cognito Amsterdam are looking for a Content Producer with experience and/or a strong interest in financial services, particularly fintech. With a few years of experience, you are not only a magician with words but also are able to excel in organizing, structuring, and managing content projects. You have a genuine curiosity for news and know how to pull the right strings to help our clients get noticed. You are a native English speaker or have professional English copywriting skills.
What will you do?
As a Content Producer you will work closely with clients and colleagues as well as being responsible for coordinating and managing various accounts. This includes overseeing the entire content process, from client contact and initial concept to delivering a complete, high-quality product, conducting research, interviews, and benchmarking. Therefore, you will ensure that the work is delivered on time, within budget, and up to Cognito’s standards.
In addition to client work, you will be involved in growing Cognito in the Netherlands and internationally. This includes not only our own PR and marketing but also strategic aspects: Where are the opportunities? What can we improve operationally? Which developments—like AI—should we capitalize on? And last but not least, you will celebrate our successes, from publications or new projects to Friday drinks and our famous team outings.

- Proactively pitch on behalf of clients for by-line articles and opinion pieces.
- Monitor, analyze, and report on client and industry-related news.
What we offer:
- Cognito is a full-service agency, meaning you will be involved in a mix of digital marketing, content creation, and PR activities.
- Ample responsibilities and the freedom to fulfil them in your own way.
- Depending on your work experience, we offer a salary of €3.200 to €4.800 gross per month.

- Apple MacBook as a work laptop and an Apple phone.
- An office located at Spaces Zuidas, which allows you to work in an inspiring place in the building and in other cities.
- The opportunity to work from offices worldwide, getting to know all 100+ Cognito colleagues.
- Cognicon: a multi-day gathering of all Cognito colleagues that takes place every two years. In September, we went to Lisbon!
- A creative and diverse culture: our team in Amsterdam alone consists of 7 nationalities and we speak 10 languages together
