ABOUT US

At HUB International, we are a team of entrepreneurs. We believe in protecting and supporting the aspirations of individuals, families, and businesses. We help our clients evaluate their risks and develop solutions tailored to their needs. We believe in empowering our employees to learn, grow, and make a difference. Our structure enables our teams to maintain their own unique, regional culture while leveraging support and resources from our corporate centers of excellence.

HUB is the 5th largest global insurance and employee benefits broker, providing a boundaryless array of business insurance, employee benefits, risk services, personal insurance, retirement, and private wealth management products and services. With over $5 billion in revenue and almost 20,000 employees in 600 offices throughout North America, HUB has grown substantially, in part due to our industry leading success in mergers and acquisitions.

About Us

Communication & Design, often referred to as C&D, is a specialty practice of HUB. We are a team of creative professionals consisting of writers, designers, consultants, project managers, and web and app developers. Our team creates multi-channel campaigns that include print, digital and web-based projects. Most of our work focuses on Employee Benefit Communications, whose aim is to engage employees and make their benefits information easy to understand. If you’ve ever received a work email letting you know you only have two days left to enroll in health insurance, that’s us! Now we’re looking for an experienced temporary writer to come help keep our work fresh, inclusive and fun.

Our writers need to write grammatically correct copy – but it’s just as important to engage your inner whimsy and creativity to ensure employees want to read our deliverables. Your mission is to make insurance easy to understand and even – dare we say? – fun.

Our team of professionals embraces humor, creativity and individuality. Our team members include pet lovers, crafters, Netflix couch potatoes, board game collectors and more, so don’t hide your spark! We’d love to know what makes you tick.

Our Ideal Candidate

We are looking for people who are friendly and communicative, who possess a high attention to detail, are creative and organized, and can multi-task. If you can meet strict deadlines and work well under pressure in a fast-paced environment, this is the place for you. Proficiency in Adobe InDesign and WordPress is highly desired.

A day in the life of a writer

• Write clear, concise and grammatically correct copy.
• Peer review communications for style, substance, grammar, spelling and editing, as needed.
• Update documents in Adobe InDesign and WordPress.
• Develop and maintain a clear and consistent brand voice for each client.

Our expectations for all team members:

• Willingness to dedicate extra time and attention to complete tasks, when required.
• Be yourself and work toward the overall improvement of who we are and what we do at HUB.
• Be ready to lend a helping hand when needed and be ready to ask for help when needed!

LANGUAGE SKILLS

Excellent written and oral communication skills. Ability to compose clear and concise correspondence.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

• Remote professional office environment (office equipment including a laptop with the requisite software and/or phone will be provided).
