A Career at HARMAN

As a technology leader that is rapidly on the move, HARMAN is filled with people who are focused on making life better. Innovation, inclusivity and teamwork are a part of our DNA. When you add that to the challenges we take on and solve together, you’ll discover that at HARMAN you can grow, make a difference and be proud of the work you do every day.

About the Role

We’re not just writing copy — we’re shaping how the automotive industry experiences the future of in-cabin technologies. As HARMAN Automotive evolves into the leading supplier of in-cabin user experiences, we’re looking for a Copywriter who can translate complex product and technology narratives into clear, compelling, and emotionally resonant stories.

In this role, you’ll focus on business-to-business communications: crafting copy for customer presentations, product demos, events, and brand storytelling that help OEM partners understand the value of our innovations. Your words will make the technical feel human and the complex feel simple — inspiring trust and excitement in our vision.

Your Team

You’ll join HARMAN Automotive Design — a global, award-winning team of UX/UI, Industrial, Communication, and Motion Designers. We work across Germany, the US, China, Korea, and Japan, uniting creative disciplines with a shared focus on design excellence and real-world impact. You’ll collaborate daily with designers, project managers, engineers, and marketing colleagues to ensure our message is as strong as our design.

• Craft storytelling for experiential journeys, including HMI demonstrations, concept showcases, and innovation roadmaps
• Support senior leadership in developing speeches, award submissions, and strategic narratives
• Create copy frameworks, guidelines, and templates to ensure consistent communication across global teams
• Present your work to internal stakeholders and external clients, aligning them to the creative vision and adapting when needed

• Proofread and edit all deliverables to ensure clarity, accuracy, and professional quality

• 4–6 years of professional copywriting experience, ideally in agency, tech, or automotive environments

• A portfolio showcasing strong writing for presentations, campaigns, or product storytelling
• Excellent verbal communication and presentation skills, with confidence in client-facing settings
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to deliver under shifting timelines and priorities
• Curiosity and a culturally aware perspective, bringing creativity and relevance into technical storytelling
