The Citizenry is looking for a talented Senior Copywriter to freelance 15-20+ hours/week with our in-house creative team. 

You are a storyteller at heart, with a knack for crafting language that inspires. All of our designs are inspired by distinct cultures and ethically crafted by master artisans in far-off destinations; it’s your job to bring those stories to life. 

Being a strategic thinker is critical. You must know how to keep a core idea intact and write multiple versions of it. This is a fast-moving business where a change in copy can have a massive ripple effect. You should have a baseline understanding of online marketing best practices including email campaigns, SEO, SEM, and keyword targeting.

The Citizenry’s creative team is based in Dallas, TX. While it’s a plus to be in this location, this role can be based anywhere in the U.S.

THE JOB

The ideal candidate has a background in retail, e-commerce, and/or product copy. Bonus points for working with a leading, digitally-charged brand that’s paving the way in its respective industry. Here are just some of the projects you’ll be charged with:

  • Work with Marketing & Ecommerce teams to develop copy for key site initiatives and collection launches
  • Collaborate with Product Design team to learn the ins and outs of new designs and craft compelling product descriptions
  • Learn the stories of our artisan partners and write narratives to help people understand the people and processes behind each design 
  • Write copy for in-package experience – from packing slips to thank you notes, you will craft clear, concise copy that turns a customer into brand advocate 
  • Dive into the day-to-day of email at The Citizenry, producing fresh, thoughtful, on-brief copy for 2-3 campaigns/week
  • Hop in to craft copy for various marketing channels when time allows, including social posts, direct mail, press pitches, events, in-store signage, and paid media 
  • Roll up your sleeves and fill in gaps when needed (after all, we are a startup)

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor’s degree is required
  • 2-5 years of experience with a strong digital portfolio 
  • An eye for the details – no typos or grammar slips here  
  • Flexibility to write quickly and efficiently on tight deadlines
  • Knowledge of SEO, SEM and online marketing strategies
  • Receptive to direction and capability to apply feedback to creative work
  • Ability to multitask and juggle competing priorities
  • Passion for the job and The Citizenry’s brand vision
