Job description

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration, and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions. Edelman is looking for an Senior Copywriter to help us make things that culture will love. Our growing creative teams are the masterminds behind some of the world’s most talked about work. Whether launching an eBay sneaker shop, fighting for intersectional environmental justice with TAZO Tea, or creating a hotel for the world's most devoted Taco Bell fans, the work we create is designed to capture attention and get people talking. It’s not enough to be culturally relevant—our briefs demand that we change culture around us. Now we need a strong copywriter who can help unlock more of those weird, wild ideas. What kind of creative work will you do? We’re glad you asked. Because our work doesn’t really fit inside any kind of standard PR/Advertising/Communications/Marketing box, there’s no “standard” creative brief here. This is not a plug-and-play role. As an earned-first agency, we shape our ideas around the story we want to tell—not the media plan. What we sell in shifts with every brief – one day it's a reactive TikTok idea, the next it's a 360 campaign with PR, influencer, digital, and brand film components. We’re looking for sharp thinkers and culture junkies who thrive in creative chaos. This is a chance to work with a best-in-class creative crew that’s picked up wins all the way to Cannes. If you’re ready to do the best work of your life—we’d love to meet you. To land this gig, you need to have a passion for people and helping others solve problems. Our culture is what sets us apart from traditional ad agencies, and it’s why so many stay with us awhile. At Edelman, our most valuable resource is you – our people – with a diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and smarts (with heart). We support one another, encourage each other, and we’re looking for individuals who want to contribute to our culture. In order to be considered for the role, you MUST present a digital portfolio with your application. No portfolios will not be considered! You should be:

A social-first thinker fluent in TikTok, Instagram, apps we’ve never heard of, and niche internet subcultures
Strategic and collaborative, with a proven track record of big ideas and big wins
Experienced in 360 campaigns with an earned-first mindset
Obsessed with making smart, standout, award-winning work
Ego-free, self-starting, and deeply team-oriented
BONUS: a sports fan, specifically an NFL geek

Responsibilities:

Work in partnership with an Senior Art Director, and with the direction of creative leadership to concept and plan execution of integrated campaigns and programs across a wide range of media and platforms, especially social, digital, video, experiences, and content.
Concept and write campaign ideas for client projects and new business pitches that are earned-first and social by design.
Work in concert with a wide range of specialties including account, strategy, project management, and influencers.
Develop tactics that bring creative concepts to life and achieve program objectives.
Manage multiple jobs simultaneously, managing and providing direction to other team members as needed.
Work closely with a project manager and production partners to schedule projects and coordinate production.
Prepare and present client creative presentations and drive client approval process.
Work effectively with external vendors and internal colleagues to complete projects within timeframe and budget

Qualifications:

At least 4 years of experience in marketing, advertising or social media
A bachelor’s degree, preferably in English, Advertising, Communications, or related major

Portfolio and capability expectations:

A killer online portfolio with proven recent examples of social, traditional, earned, digital, and experiential campaigns
Previous roles in advertising, copywriting, and a portfolio of ideas and executions demonstrating strong use of copy, tone, and voice across multiple channels and platforms, as well as long and short copy formats
Strong, persuasive presentation skills to sell in creative work to internal and external stakeholders
Experience maintaining client contact as needed, building camaraderie to develop trusting relationships
The ability to collaborate with PMs and other departments to lead and move projects forward, assisting with budget and schedule development, and potentially managing junior creatives’ work
Ability to prioritize and manage work, adhering to critical project timelines while maintaining a high-level of craft and detail in a fast-paced environment
A professional-level mastery of industry-standard software and writing tools including MS Word, PowerPoint, as well as a working knowledge of Adobe Creative Could and Figma
On-site production/writing experience for events, activations as well as video, digital, and social platforms
Pride in your previous work and the ability to speak to it clearly and concisely during the interview process

Compensation and benefits:

$72,000 - $115,000 a year

An employee’s pay position within the salary range will be based on several factors including, but not limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, travel requirements, revenue-based metrics, any contractual agreements, and business or organizational needs.
