About the Role

We’re looking for a junior copywriter who can write irresistible advertising copy along with smart UX/UI copy. You’ll be joining our “copy pod” of three — soon to be five — writers; our work spans Albert’s product/UX, growth/marketing, organic content/social media realms, even customer service text messages — so you’ll have to be interested in all of them. (But it’s okay to have a favorite.) You’ll be jumping into brainstorms with the entire marketing team and writing fresh, funny, effective ad copy for Facebook, Instagram, and beyond. Plus TV and radio ad scripts! You should be comfortable writing both independently and collaboratively.

You might also occasionally contribute to our newsletter, The Post, and our Knowledge Center. On the more technical side, you’ll be responding to “copy requests” to help product designers and engineers create sharp UI copy.

All in all, this is a great opportunity to grow a portfolio of both creative copywriting and UX writing.

Things you’re good at:

  • Collaborating — and being creative.You’re an indispensable part of our brainstorms, contributing ideas alongside every member of marketing, including designers, writers, strategists, and sometimes the CEO.
  • Listening, reading, communicating.If something’s unclear, you know what questions to ask.
  • Juggling multiple deadlines.You’ll be collaborating on projects across departments, all with different timelines. You know how to manage your own workflow.
  • Paying attention to detail.You spot a typo from a mile away.
  • Speaking to millennials and Gen Z.You know how to write for our core audience.
  • And writing, of course.You love to play with words. Your writing has a sense of humor without sacrificing clarity, power, or empathy. You thrive on the fine boundary between writing in a professional style and maintaining a “real,” engaging voice. Sometimes our copy experiments with absurdism and sometimes it’s meat-and-potato sales performance. You have the range.

Requirements:

  • At least two years experience writing for a brand or agency
  • Experience working on a team in a quickly changing, deadline-driven setting
  • A portfolio of your writing is a must — playful, compelling, of various lengths

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity
  • Health, vision and dental insurance
  • 401k match
  • Free lunch
