[Hiring] Senior Copywriter @Funday

Role Description

As a Senior Copywriter you will report directly to a Creative Director and work closely with the creative team. Your role will be varied and may change from day to day. One minute you’ll be concepting a 360° campaign; the next you’ll be crafting social ideas that tap into culture and make waves. We’re a small group scattered around the globe and everyone gets their hands dirty. You’ll always be part of a team that has a passion for great work, including creatives, strategists, technologists, and producers who will help you push the work forward.

Location: You’ll work remotely from BC, AB or ON.

• Develop an understanding of business objectives and audience demographics to create targeted content for our clients
• Process information supplied by internal and external stakeholders and translate it into effective creative work
• Lead concept ideas alongside our art and creative directors
• Translate concepts into full campaigns across a variety of mediums, from digital, social to TV and out-of-home
• Work on multiple projects simultaneously
• Maintain high standards of copywriting and quality control

Qualifications

• 5+ years in a copywriting role in an agency environment
• Portfolio demonstrating your copywriting and storytelling craft; must include digital and socially minded work samples
• A strong understanding of advertising and marketing principles, especially in a digital environment
• Exceptional written and oral communication skills
• Ability to demonstrate an outstanding degree of accuracy and attention to detail in all work
• Ability to write in a range of voices and styles for varied projects with diverse audiences
• Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously and juggle diverse writing demands
• Deep understanding of culture and how it fits into a brand’s world; with the ability to bridge the gap between culture, community, and brand storytelling

Requirements

• Portfolio: Don’t forget to include your portfolio - if there isn’t a portfolio, we won’t consider your application.
• Where you live & can work matters: If you live in Canada, are able to work here, and you are in one of these provinces: BC, AB, or ON - please apply! Otherwise, we’re sorry, we’re not set up to support staff outside of these regions.
• Cover Letter: If you have something to share that’s not obvious on your resume, submit a cover letter; otherwise, save yourself some time and don’t.
• Lots of postings - only 1 role: We post the same role in multiple locations to help us cast a wide net. Applying to each location for a posting will not increase your chances.
• This posting is for an existing vacancy we are looking to fill immediately and not a prospective future role (i.e. we’re saying this isn’t a ghost job).

Benefits

• We believe you won’t perform at your best if you’re not having fun.
• We believe that this creates the best client + agency relationships, and is the best way to make great work.
• We believe in respect, inclusivity, kindness, equity, and equality.
• We want to make a positive impact.
• We believe that collaboration is the fun part of being at work.
• We strive to create a culture in which “we” is more important than “me”.
• Apart from loving terrible fun puns, we’re a start-up, and we're growing fast – which means you’ll have a chance to make your mark and grow with us.
• We’re also almost 100% remote, and that might not appeal to everyone – but if you value flexibility, it’s perfect.
