Copywriter

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Define and document how we sound across social, web, print, and OOH.
• Turn dense engineering, brand moments and partnership activations into copy with a point of view, across headlines, body, manifestos, launch films, and campaign lines.
• Write social copy that cuts through and holds its own on quick turnaround timelines.
• Name new systems, platforms, and capabilities, and maintain the naming architecture in partnership with Product Marketing, Division Leads, Comms, and Design.
• Take a half-formed brief, a technical deep dive, and a room full of opinions, and come back with a strategic position and the words to express it.
• Drive scriptwriting in close partnership with the Anduril Design Dept. to inform treatments for video-driven campaigns.
• Work with Product Marketing, Design, Communications, Government Relations, and Recruiting so the voice stays consistent from a product page to a billboard to a job post.
• Create voice guidelines, messaging frameworks, and reusable copy systems that let other writers and non-writers produce work that sounds like us.

Job requirements

• 5+ years of copywriting experience at a top-tier agency, in-house at a recognized consumer brand, or a combination of both.
• An expansive portfolio showing work for major brands. Work in technical, hard tech, aerospace, or engineering categories is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to translate sophisticated technical subject matter into human copy that hits hard, without diluting the underlying truth, importance, or impact of the technology.
• Range across formats and surfaces: social, long-form, film, OOH, web, and product naming.
• Proven ability to take ambiguity and return strategic clarity, including framing the problem when nobody has framed it for you.
• Self-starter with the judgment to identify what needs writing and go write it, rather than working from a queue.
• Comfort working at speed alongside engineers, designers, and executives, and taking hard feedback on the work.
• Grit.
