Requirements

The perfect candidate doesn’t exist, but you might be just who we’re looking for.

For this mid- to senior-level role, we’re looking for a Copywriter who can work at a high international level and extremely proficient in the English language with excellent grammar and wordplay. Secondary languages are a plus!
Next to English, you can talk tech and advertising and are able to share work that showcases your ability to work for high-end consumer brands.
Producing quality work out of creative briefs and thin air alike, you’re experienced creating copy-based work with clever lines and insights we can build campaigns around.
You combine creative and critical thinking; your analytical approach enables you to ask the right questions to waterproof copy from a strategic/conceptual perspective.
You can capture ideas in copy that’s clear and compelling at the same time: convincing without bullshit, cheesy puns or esoteric language (after all, the cognoscenti have no need for grandiloquence).
While you might be tired of the word, your skills in storytelling allow you to create scripts for videos ranging from 6 seconds to 6 minutes.
As a Copywriter, you are the change you want to see in the word: you improve what is said, not just how.
Your attention to detail is close to annoying: typos, inconsistencies and questionable punctuation marks have little chance getting past your cursor.
As part of a constructive feedback loop, you can give and handle critique without making it or taking it personally.
You can present your work like a pro and feel comfortable communicating with clients.
You can make a case for your copy, rationalising your choices and considerations to win people over with your words.
You’re comfortable jumping in and out at any stage of a project—from first ideas to final words—delivering solid work, even under tight deadlines.
You have a great sense of personal responsibility and eagerly go the extra mile if that’s what it takes to make good great.
