Job description

Stereo is a culturally charged creative agency. We’re a team of 60+, based in London and San Francisco, with a reputation for delivering exciting work for both the lifestyle and service sectors.

We’re on the hunt for a Lead Copywriter to join our growing team. You will work closely with designers to concept, create, and oversee copy output for one of our biggest clients — a dream client for many writers. Success in this role will require you to adhere to strict copy guidelines while maintaining their famously inspiring and irreverent tone of voice.

The ideal candidate will have solid experience in conceptual copywriting, with a flair for hands-on long and short form copywriting. We’re looking for a writer who truly wants to write — whether it’s a manifesto, campaign headline, or email. You should hold your own writing to the same high standards you expect from your team.

A passion for the worlds of sport, fashion, and culture is essential. If you have the knowledge and experience to back this up, we want to hear from you.

TYPICAL ACTIVITIES

1. Writing and overseeing copy — from campaign ideation to rollout across digital and physical media.
2. Flexing tones of voice with ease — creating hype around a sneaker release or writing a long-form piece about the beauty of a morning run.
3. Collaborating creatively with designers, developers, and other writers on 360 campaigns.
4. Creating compelling copy that adheres to Nike’s tone of voice, legal, and translation considerations.
5. Working closely with clients in a collaborative manner.
6. Reviewing copy and leading a team of writers.

SKILLS REQUIRED

• Experience working with global brands.
• A passion for writing and conceptual thinking.
• Flexibility and creativity in response to feedback.
• Attention to detail.
• Strong interpersonal skills and a proactive, collaborative attitude.

• Day off on your birthday
• Summer hours in July & August (half-day Fridays)
• Closed over the Christmas period
