Who You Are
You are a conceptual creative who understands that great brand work begins with a great idea and is brought to life through exceptional craft. You excel at turning business objectives, customer insights, and brand strategy into integrated campaign concepts that work across every channel and touchpoint. You are equally comfortable shaping a creative brief alongside Strategy as you are writing a manifesto, a film script, or a single line that defines a campaign.
You are an uncommon combination of big-picture thinker and meticulous writer. You approach every project with 360-degree campaign thinking, building ideas that are flexible enough to live across film, social, digital, out-of-home, web, and live experiences, and focused enough to remain clear and recognizable in each one. Copy is your craft, and you hold it to a high standard.
As Senior Copywriter, you will contribute to anything and everything that represents the Justworks brand. Projects range from brand campaigns and product films to conceptual website copy and fully realized brand experiences. You will lead projects from strategy through final copy, and you will collaborate closely with filmmakers, strategists, designers, animators, and producers to bring your creative vision to life.
