Senior Copywriter

We are X, bigly labs, Dis‑Chem’s high‑performance innovation hub; a place where bold ideas meet data, design, and radical customer focus to reimagine what healthcare can be. Our mission is to power the future of healthcare by lowering costs, unlocking new possibilities, and improving access to healthcare for all South Africans. We do this through cutting‑edge digital solutions that deliver smarter, more human, and truly patient‑focused experiences. Here, your work is not limited to a whiteboard; it becomes real. It drives decisions, shapes experiences, and moves healthcare forward. We are driven by one big question: How do we use data and today’s technology to build breakthroughs to better health? There’s only one question left: are you ready to make healthcare smarter, and actually mean it? We’re looking for a Copywriter with strong experience in CRM, lifecycle, email, or customer engagement writing, someone who can move comfortably between short‑form messaging (push, SMS, microcopy) and longer educational or narrative content. You write with clarity, empathy, and purpose. You can take a complex healthcare or retail concept and make it simple enough for someone reading on a rushed morning. You understand how tone, timing, sequencing, and behaviour all shape how messages land. You’re excited about crafting useful, trustworthy content that genuinely helps people, whether it’s onboarding someone into a new service, improving medication adherence, or supporting a customer through a tricky moment in a journey.
