We’re looking for a Senior Copywriter to join our internal brand creative team! The first in this role, you’ll be a leader in establishing our brand voice, writing to engage our community, and translating our mission to every touchpoint in the user journey. We will look to you to bring our brand to life in words.

Ideal candidates will have a strong portfolio of creative copywriting; experience creating and evolving brand style guidelines; and comfort in a fast-paced, collaborative, and creative environment. You should love words and crafting approachable, human, and engaging copy across both marketing and product channels. Experience working in a high-growth startup environment, and/or affinity for the creative and design communities, are both a plus.

Most importantly, in this role, you’ll join a smart, kind, creative team championing our mission to connect lifelong learners. The team is excited to see how you can share your talents to drive impact with our community, company, and mission at large.

*Please note that this job is based out of our home office in New York City.

What you'll do:

• Brainstorm and develop creative strategies to accomplish brand goals
• Refine and evolve our voice, tone, and style guidelines
• Edit written materials for brand consistency
• Write effective, engaging, human copy for marketing assets (such as campaign slogans, landing pages, emails, paid ads, social media)
• Partner with product and design teams to create effective copy that shapes a superior customer experience (such as homepages, microcopy, and onboarding flows)
• Create systems and processes that empower all teams (marketing, product, community, original content) to communicate in a clear, compelling, and on-brand voice
• Take ownership of improving processes over time, using both data and judgement to achieve new levels of excellence, beauty, and effectiveness

What you'll need to be successful:

• An impressive portfolio of consumer-facing, creative copywriting, ideally demonstrating range across agency, startup, and content work
• Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading skills
• Ability to own, improve, and execute against creative briefs
• Working knowledge of basic marketing and SEO best practices
• Superior organization and communication skills
• Superior attention to detail
• Strong interpersonal effectiveness in collaborating across teams, editing others’ work, and championing brand consistency

Why you're excited about us:

• Impact: You’ll build an authentic, engaging relationship with our community of 7 million+ creators.
• Growth: You’ll have the opportunity to wear many hats and take on more responsibility over time.
• Our team: We have a passionate, talented team that is a lot of fun to work with.
• Our mission: We’re doing work that matters – connecting lifelong learners around the world and empowering them to pursue their creativity.
• Flexibility: We believe that doing your best work means living a full life. That means different things for everyone, so we optimize for trust, invest to support remote teams, have an unlimited vacation policy (with a required minimum!), and encourage work-life balance.
