About the role
*Open to hiring remote across North America — we also have offices in NYC, San Francisco, and Seattle
We're looking for a mid-to-senior copywriter to partner with an art director inside our new and growing in-house creative department. You'll concept and write at a high level across brand campaigns, product marketing, advertising, web, social, and events. About 75% of your time you'll develop campaigns and big ideas alongside the art director, reporting to the CD. The remaining 25% you'll work independently on copy-driven projects like product copy.
This is a hands-on making role with real creative ownership. You won't be filling in templates — you'll be concepting campaigns, writing scripts, shaping brand voice and creative standard for a rapidly growing company. We don't ideate and hand off. We execute on our own work.
What you’ll do
- Partner with the art director to develop creative concepts and campaigns from brief through execution
- Write across all formats: advertising, brand, web, product, video scripts, social, email, event materials, editorial
- Concept campaign ideas — not just headlines, but systems that work across channels
- Help shape and evolve the brand voice and messaging
- Contribute to creative presentations and pitch decks for sales teams
- Work independently on copy-driven projects (web, product, editorial) when not paired
- Give and receive feedback generously — the work gets better through iteration
What you’ll need
- 5-8 years in copywriting, with agency experience strongly preferred
- A portfolio that shows both big conceptual ideas and strong craft across formats
- Ability to write long and short — you're as comfortable with a manifesto as a social post
- Experience working as part of a creative team (writer/AD pairing)
- Comfort moving fast and across multiple projects simultaneously
- Curiosity about design, art direction, and visual storytelling — you think in ideas, not just words
- Experience in brand and product contexts is a plus
