Job Summary

Own the creative copy leadership across Lumē and Mando, shaping voice and storytelling through multi-channel campaigns while guiding production and team growth.

  • Lead copy across consumer touchpoints and define a living brand voice for both brands.
  • Mentor two Senior Copywriters and elevate craft through structured feedback and crits.
  • Partner early with the ACD and Brand leads on strategy and concepting to land ideas that resonate in production.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Concept original campaign ideas across social, digital, in-store, and activations in close partnership with the ACD Art Director — bringing strong copy thinking and voice strategy to every brief.
  • Own the copywriting across all consumer-facing touchpoints: packaging, retail, digital, social, and campaign — with a consistent, evolving brand voice for each brand.
  • Manage and develop two Senior Copywriters through structured feedback, regular crits, and documented growth goals that raise the overall level of craft on the team.
  • Help define and document the copy voice for both Lumē and Mando as the brands continue to evolve — building guidelines the broader team can use independently.
  • Write for and direct video and content production — not as an editor, but as the creative lead ensuring the copy and concept land correctly through production partners.
  • Sitting in on a brief kickoff with the Brand and Marketing leads for Lumē's next campaign — asking the questions that reframe the strategy before a single line gets written.
  • Running a concepting session with the ACD Art Director, building off each other’s thinking until an idea emerges that neither of you would have landed on alone.
  • Reviewing a batch of social copy from one of your Senior Copywriters — giving feedback that's specific enough to actually improve the work, not just your version of it.
  • Partnering with the Social team on a platform-native content series, working together early enough to shape both the idea and how it lives on each channel.
  • Writing three headline directions for a Lumē product launch yourself, killing two because the third is actually right — then briefing your team on how to extend it.
