As a Senior Creative, Brand Narrative Copywriter, you will define how our brands speak across the Vail Resorts portfolio. Copy is how our brands come to life. We care deeply about craft, voice, and the power of language to shape how people feel, remember, and return. This is not a production‑only writing role. In addition to writing campaign copy, you will lead brand voice, shape narrative systems, and connect strategy to storytelling across channels, seasons, and guest touchpoints.
You are a conceptual writer and systems thinker who understands how modern brands live in the world. You know when to lead with emotion, when to be clear and direct, and how words work alongside design, media, and experience to create impact.
