Job Scope

Our client's Brand Creative team is looking for a talented writer, editor, and creative leader for their Motors category. You're a natural storyteller who can concept, write, and shape brand-building copy no matter the form-from video scripts and social posts to landing pages and headlines. You're also a shrewd editor who knows how to apply our brand voice to all forms of written work, and can deliver feedback to external partners effectively and politely. You have boundless creativity and curiosity, a customer-first lens, and rock-solid concepting skills. A background in motors is a huge plus, but not critical as long as there's passion and capability for fast, on-the-job learning.

Responsibilities:

• Oversee the work of senior copywriters within the Brand Creative team, and serve as steward for the client's Motors voice across all touchpoints.
• Review and uplevel the work from multiple external agencies; projects range from full-funnel media campaigns to onsite banners to event booths.
• Concept and develop creative for video, social, onsite, offsite display, and more.
• Write pitch-perfect, on-brand copy that's tailored to our enthusiast motors audience.
• Collaborate closely with marketing, social strategy, the business team, events team, and other partners to bring campaigns to life.
• Present copy and creative to key stakeholders with clarity and professionalism.
• Serve as a leader within the Motors vertical and the point person for creative (alongside the Motors Art Director).
• Occasional travel to Motors events and video/photoshoots is expected.

Required Skills:

• Bachelor's degree in English, Creative Writing, Journalism, or a related field.
• A minimum of 5+ years writing, editing, and concepting in the marketing, advertising, or media world, with the portfolio to prove it.
• The ability to study, learn, and apply our POV, brand voice, and nuances immediately and to successful effect.
• Facility with Google docs, slides, and sheets; familiarity with Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and Monday a plus.
• A creative vision, razor sharp writing and editing skills, and the ability to offer endless iterations on one subject.
