Job Description:
We're looking for a senior writer to help build and define a brand voice from scratch. This is the first dedicated brand writer for the team, and the work spans everything from sharp campaign language to rigorous long-form editorial-always with clarity, taste, and intellectual seriousness.
- This is not a demand-gen, CRO, or SEO-first role.What you'll do (day to day)
- Write across brand touchpoints: campaign concepts & taglines, headlines, ads, web copy, newsletters, decks/presentations, scripts, and print
- Produce long-form editorial and thought leadership (roughly 800-1,500 words) that advances clear ideas without oversimplifying
- Develop event naming and experiential/environmental copy (signage, wayfinding language, event systems, booth/activation copy)
- Translate technical and policy-adjacent topics into accessible writing for mixed audiences (technical non-technical)
- Partner closely with design to ensure language and visual direction reinforce each other
- Help establish and maintain brand voice and messaging frameworks
- Edit and elevate writing produced internally or with external partners
- Manage multiple projects in an environment where priorities can shift-without sacrificing craft
- Must-haves
- 10 years writing experience in brand writing, editorial, or content design
- A strong editorial sensibility (you read widely; you care about language; you can distinguish clear writing from merely correct writing)
- Primarily editorial publication experience (e.g.,NYT/FT/WSJ/WIRED/Atlantic/Monocle/Kinfolk-type environments). Publication credits are a plus; editorial rigor is required.
- Portfolio that shows range and quality across formats, including:
- Short-form brand copy (campaign lines, headlines, ads)
- Long-form editorial/thought leadership (800-1,500 words)
- Voice consistency across multiple channels
- Demonstrated ability to write about complex, technical, or policy-adjacent subjects for non-specialist audiences without flattening the nuance
- Comfort collaborating with designers, strategists, and senior stakeholders
- Experience creating or maintaining voice/tone guidelines or messaging frameworks
- Bachelor's degree
- Nice-to-haves
- Experience writing in or adjacent to AI, technology, research, policy, or mission-driven organizations
- Experience working with (or within) a creative agency / brand studio
- Experience with event naming systems, experiential/environmental copy, and brand activations
- Genuine interest in the societal implications of advanced technology and a bias toward intellectual honesty in communication
