Senior Copywriter

Writing is the ultimate exercise for the creative mind. Take what you're reading right now, for example. It's interesting (so far), right? Have you ever seen a job description written like this? We're guessing you haven't and here you are, still reading it. That's the power of choosing the right words.
At Cox Enterprises, we're looking for a Senior Copywriter to join the Ideabar team (our in-house creative agency) and produce words that intrigue and inspire. Whether you're coming up with concepts for an advertising campaign, crafting a manifesto, or guiding content strategy for a global brand, you'll take your creativity and imagination for a spin every day.
What's In It For You?
We're glad you asked, because we love our answer and think you will too. Here's a little taste of our best-in-class benefits package and award-winning employee culture:

• We all have lives and responsibilities outside of work, and we respect that. We have an exceptional work/life balance at Cox, with accommodating work schedules and flexible time-off policies.
• Our talent is paid what they're worth with a competitive salary package and top-notch bonus & incentive plans.
• We help you prepare for the future with a 401(k) (that well generously match), life insurance and disability insurance.
• You'll enjoy a generous suite of healthcare benefits with various deductible options, along with pharmacy benefits, Flexible Spending Account & Health Savings Account options, counseling for mental wellness and more.
• Want to volunteer in your community? We encourage that, and even offer paid hours for you to do so.
• Looking to grow your family? Rest assured you'll have access to our inclusive parental leave policies, plus comprehensive fertility coverage and adoption assistance.
• Our employees enjoy discounts on computers, entertainment, travel and more.
• Continuing education and professional development are important, and at Cox we offer both.
• We all love our pets whether they walk, crawl, fly, swim, or slither and were happy to supply insurance for them as well.

The above is just a taste. We have a veritable smorgasbord of benefits at Cox, giving you the freedom to pick and choose what works best for you and your family.
