Senior Copywriter
JOB OPPORTUNITY
Senior Copywriter
Are you a seasoned writer who knows how to take any topic and create something fabulous? A natural wordsmith who never fails to strike the perfect balance between clarity and creativity? If so, we have a dream opportunity for you!
We’re looking for the right senior copywriter with 5+ years of experience to join our team here in Washington, NJ. By “right,” we mean someone with the talent, ambition and attitude to wake up every day and create something out of nothing. This can be anything from a company name or tagline to content for a blog or brochure. We’re looking for someone who knows how to engage and connect with readers, with a proven ability to meet deadlines and budgets.
We’re a close-knit crew, so the ability to thrive both independently and as a team player is a must. One minute you might be sharing ideas with another writer and the next, you’ll be touching base with an illustrator to discuss visual concepts for a naming pitch on your schedule. You will get to see your writing and your ideas come to life right in front of you. When one of our illustrators creates a new logo, you get to know that the name and concept started with you. Or, when one of our graphic designers puts the final touch on a brochure, you get to see your words in bright, shiny colors. It’s all done here—and it all starts with your ideas.
This is a full-time, in-house opportunity to join our team in Washington, NJ. The entire team works virtually on Fridays.
We’re All About
- Having fun as a team. Yes, we work very hard for our clients. But that’s exactly why we take time to pause and recharge! From baking competitions (we’re foodies!) to go-kart racing, there’s always something to look forward to on the KickCharge calendar.
- Helping each other learn and grow. While you’ll primarily work with members of our content team, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to collaborate and learn from our graphic designers, account executives and logo illustrators. We’ll harness what you already know and teach you everything we know pertaining to brand messaging, naming, social media and much, much more.
- Keeping it casual but professional. No need to dress to the nines when you’re here (unless that’s your style!). We have a very laid-back and casual culture. As long as you act professionally toward your teammates and our clients, we encourage you to dress comfortably.
And Of Course…
- A competitive salary
- Plenty of PTO and holidays
- 401(k) plan with a stellar company match
- Health and dental benefits
- Your own space in our 5,200-square-foot office (right behind a Dunkin’, we might add)
- Summer Fridays (The fun kind!)
On Any Given Day, You Might
- Craft unique, custom content for print materials, blogs, press releases and websites.
- Brainstorm and research to help name a company or develop a tagline.
- Assist with internal initiatives by writing/editing brochures, web pages, emails, social media posts and more.
- Delve deep into a client’s creative brief to familiarize yourself with their background, story and goals for their project.
- Proofread another writer’s copy and revise your own copy based on internal and external (client) feedback.
- Virtually meet with a client to ask questions, build rapport, reconnect on a project and establish the client’s brand voice.
What We’re Looking For
- A self-starter with a predisposition to go the extra mile and continually demonstrate initiative.
- An experienced and talented writer who is confident in their abilities, but also receptive to feedback from management and clients.
- A content veteran who feels comfortable making decisions, taking ownership over a project and mentoring junior-level writers.
- A natural passion and talent for being creative.
- Kindness toward your teammates, our clients and yourself!
- A team player who is ambitious but humble. We’re not looking for the perfect person—just the perfect attitude.
- Solid written and verbal communication skills. Both are equally important to us!
- A can-do mindset and a self-motivated individual with the ability to juggle multiple projects.
- Someone who takes pride in their work and pays meticulous attention to detail.
- The ability to meet deadlines and manage a fluctuating schedule.
- An eagerness to continually learn new skills and leverage the ones you already have.
- Familiarity with Microsoft Word and Excel. (Asana is a huge plus!)
- A great sense of humor and someone who likes to joke around and laugh throughout the day!
