Elevate a major retailer’s brand storytelling as a Freelance Copywriter! Craft compelling narratives that resonate with millions of shoppers across diverse platforms. This is your chance to make a real impact on how a retail giant connects with its audience.
As a key member of the creative team, you’ll be the voice that brings seasonal campaigns and brand stories to life. 

The ideal candidate is a proactive and experienced storyteller who can quickly jump into a fast-paced environment and deliver high-quality content across a variety of platforms. This is a hands-on role that requires a blend of conceptual thinking and day-to-day execution.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate closely with the creative team, taking direction and turning it into fresh, effective copy that aligns with our brand’s voice.

Who You Are

• A seasoned writer with a strong portfolio showcasing your work on a variety of digital and social platforms that tell a story.
• Someone with experience writing for home or style brands is preferred, but a proven ability to write about style in general is essential.
• A conceptual thinker who can develop big ideas and campaigns, but is also comfortable with the day-to-day writing demands of a large organization.
• An agile team player who is not only a great writer but can also efficiently manage a high volume of work.
• Experienced in writing for video, with an understanding of how to craft a narrative for social media.
