Job description

Overview

You’ve crafted headlines, taglines, social posts, calls to action, website blurbs, and countless other bundles of words with a smile, a nod, and the occasional pained grin. You’re a copywriter who can flip between English and Spanish without losing the rhythm. You love what you do so much you can do it in two languages. You have enough experience to have a few battle scars, but not enough that you’re cynical. You keep an eye on the business as well as your craft. You get excited about great ideas and fight to make them come to life. If that sounds like you, let’s talk.

As an On-Call Copywriter, you’ll :

• Write copy for a wide range of media, including social, web, print, radio, and video.

• Support public and private sector clients who tackle issues like energy efficiency, climate change, child welfare, and more.

• Think strategically while developing ideas and concepts for projects and campaigns.

• Make deadlines. Seems obvious, but it’s a thing here.

You’ll need:

Professional Skills

• Cultural nuance and linguistic accuracy in transcreated content—not just translated.

• Excellent organizational skills, with solid attention to detail.
