Job Summary

Own the full lifecycle of short-form copy for social and digital across paid and organic, crafting hooks, tone, and multi-format assets while collaborating with creative teams and staying ahead of trends.

  • Own the copy from brief to final asset
  • Pitch ideas beyond the brief
  • Evolve the brand voice across platforms

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Concept and write scroll-stopping copy across exisiting and emerging social platforms — understanding the distinct voice, format, and audience behavior of each.
  • Craft thumb-stopping hooks, opening lines, and visual anchors that earn attention in the first 1–2 seconds of content.
  • Translate brand strategy and creative briefs into sharp, on-brand short-form copy for paid and organic social, display banners, digital OOH, and in-feed video.
  • Go beyond the brief — proactively pitch ideas, creative territories, and copy experiments that push the work further than what was asked for.
  • Collaborate closely with Art Directors, Designers, CDs, and Project Managers on projects of all scales, ensuring copy and visuals land as one unified idea.
  • Maintain and evolve the brand’s social voice, keeping consistency across always-on content while staying responsive to cultural moments, trends, and reactive opportunities.
  • Write and contribute to compelling creative decks for internal and client-facing presentations — because how you sell the idea matters as much as the idea itself.
  • Stay plugged into food culture, CPG trends, meme formats, and platform algorithm shifts — translating those insights into timely, relevant copy.
  • Continuously raise the bar for writing quality, developing yourself and elevating the people around you through shared craft.
  • Embrace and evolve your creative process alongside emerging AI tools — using them to move faster and think bigger, not replace your instincts.

Requirements

  • 4–6 years of copywriting experience at a creative agency, social-first studio, or in-house brand team — with a portfolio spanning multiple tones of voice across multiple brands.
  • A demonstrable command of short form copy craft: you understand that a caption is not an afterthought, a headline is not a label, and character count is a creative constraint worth respecting.
  • Comfort writing for video scripts and on-screen text — understanding how copy lives in motion.
  • Proven experience writing for social and digital platforms, with fluency in how copy performs differently across paid vs. organic and native vs. boosted formats.
  • Sharp instincts for what makes content stop the scroll — whether that’s a provocative question, an unexpected POV, a cultural reference, or a dead-simple truth said in a fresh way.
  • Excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills with an obsessive eye for detail.
  • A proactive, self-starting mindset — you bring ideas without being prompted, flag opportunities before they’re missed, and take ownership from brief to final asset.
  • Strong time-management and organizational skills; you can juggle multiple briefs simultaneously without letting quality slip.
