Job Description
Codeword is a communication agency that helps brands create breakthrough comms, content, and community experiences.
We’re a fast-moving team of writers, editors, designers, strategists, videographers, PR mavens, and even a few traditional marketers.
Our incredible roster of global brands trust us to launch their startups, run multi-channel campaigns, grow their user bases, and lead comprehensive PR and marketing initiatives. We're storytellers and brand engineers, and we love big ideas that serve a real purpose.
Codeword is a remote-first agency, with physical offices in NYC and SF that we won’t make you visit.
This is a contractor opportunity starting in December and running through May 2027.

- We’re a friendly team, we look after each other, and we grow our careers together.
