This is the first dedicated brand writer for the team, and the work spans everything from sharp campaign language to rigorous long-form editorial-always with clarity, taste, and intellectual seriousness. This is not a demand-gen, CRO, or SEO-first role. What you'll do (day to day) • Write across brand touchpoints: campaign concepts & taglines, headlines, ads, web copy, newsletters, decks/presentations, scripts, and print • Produce long-form editorial and thought leadership (roughly 800-1,500 words) that advances clear ideas without oversimplifying • Develop event naming and experiential/environmental copy (signage, wayfinding language, event systems, booth/activation copy) • Translate technical and policy-adjacent topics into accessible writing for mixed audiences (technical non-technical) • Partner closely with design to ensure language and visual direction reinforce each other • Help establish and maintain brand voice and messaging frameworks • Edit and elevate writing produced internally or with external partners • Manage multiple projects in an environment where priorities can shift-without sacrificing craft Must-haves • 10 years writing experience in brand writing, editorial, or content design • A strong editorial sensibility (you read widely; you care about language; you can distinguish clear writing from merely correct writing) • Primarily editorial publication experience (e.g.,NYT/FT/WSJ/WIRED/Atlantic/Monocle/Kinfolk-type environments). Publication credits are a plus; editorial rigor is required. • Portfolio that shows range and quality across formats, including: • Short-form brand copy (campaign lines, headlines, ads) • Long-form editorial/thought leadership (800-1,500 words) • Voice consistency across multiple channels • Demonstrated ability to write about complex, technical, or policy-adjacent subjects for non-specialist audiences without flattening the nuance • Comfort collaborating with designers, strategists, and senior stakeholders • Experience creating or maintaining voice/tone guidelines or messaging frameworks • Bachelor's degree Nice-to-haves • Experience writing in or adjacent to AI, technology, research, policy, or mission-driven organizations • Experience working with (or within) a creative agency / brand studio • Experience with event naming systems, experiential/environmental copy, and brand activations • Genuine interest in the societal implications of advanced technology and a bias toward intellectual honesty in communication Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
