As a Senior Copywriter at ezCater, you’ll be part of a small but mighty (and growing) in-house creative team. You’ll play a central role in our customer marketing across digital, email, collateral, out-of-home and more. You’ll also be joining us at an exciting time as we refine our brand to complement our company’s growth.

If most of this sounds like you, we’d love to talk:

You’re a writer. A thinker. An idea person. A communicator. 

You’re a craftsperson who can write with clarity and warmth (a little humor is always welcome, too).

You’re someone who knows when to use a complete sentence. And when to use a fragment.

You’ll be excited to learn what makes our customers tick, and write to their needs in every channel.

What You'll Do: 

Reporting to our Principal Writer, and working alongside Design and Video within the Brand team, you will:

• Come to know our personas on both sides of our marketplace — their wants and needs, their fears and frustrations, how to reach them, and what they need to hear.
• Understand our brand, our products, and our messaging inside and out, figuring out what we want and need to say, and when and how to say it.
• Write short - and long-form copy that is on-brand, concise, persuasive, and action-inspiring — ads that grab attention, landing pages that convert, and emails that people open and read.
• Experiment with messaging and prove which words work. Celebrate the wins, learn from the flops, and never stop improving.
• Help clarify and evolve our brand voice.
• Elevate the quality of writing throughout ezCater.
• Learn from -- and teach -- a first-rate team of creative professionals.

What You Have: 

• 5-7 years of experience writing copy and conceptual work for B2C and B2B companies
• Inventiveness, so what you write is engaging even while it’s plainspoken’
• Strong conceptual and critical thinking skills
• Deep knowledge of and appreciation for language and the power of words to communicate the essence of a brand and build relationships with customers
• The capacity to think multiple steps ahead, so what you write is compelling in the moment but also furthers the lifelong conversation we’re in with our audience
• A “get it done -- right” mentality, where your natural attention to detail is balanced with a history of delivering high-quality work on deadline
• The ability to collaborate and share ideas, then work autonomously and manage your time and projects
• An eagerness and willingness to accept and apply constructive feedback — we all love learning from each other here
• The ability to communicate clearly, thoroughly, and succinctly orally and in writing – you can describe and defend a concept
• The ability to actively contribute to strategic brainstorming and campaign development
• A portfolio that shows off your thought processes and writing chops
