• Act as the senior copy lead on the account, contributing mentorship and support to mid-level writers.
• Contribute to messaging frameworks, UX writing, content hierarchies, and brand storytelling.
• Work closely with designers and participate in copy/design collaboration (Figma familiarity is helpful).
• Bring a strong editorial POV to creative brainstorms, reviews, and feedback loops.
• Adapt tone and structure based on audience and channel requirements.
• Communicate clearly and effectively with internal stakeholders and client teams.

WHAT YOU BRING:

• 3–5 years of experience as a copywriter, preferably within a creative agency or in-house brand team.
• Strong B2B experience—especially within tech, platform, or business services.
• Exceptional communication skills and the ability to translate complex ideas into clear, engaging narratives.
• Proven ability to manage a high volume of work efficiently and accurately.
• Experience guiding or mentoring junior writers is a bonus.
• Bachelor's degree in a related field (communications, marketing, creative writing, etc.) is a plus.
• Familiarity with Figma or other collaborative design-copy tools is helpful
