Sr. Copywriter

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions.

Edelman is looking for an Senior Copywriter to help us make things that culture will love. Our growing creative teams are the masterminds behind some of the world's most talked about work. Whether launching an eBay sneaker shop, fighting for intersectional environmental justice with TAZO Tea, or creating a hotel for the world's most devoted Taco Bell fans, the work we create is designed to capture attention and get people talking. It's not enough to be culturally relevant—our briefs demand that we change culture around us. Now we need a strong copywriter who can help unlock more of those weird, wild ideas.

What kind of creative work will you do? We're glad you asked. Because our work doesn't really fit inside any kind of standard PR/Advertising/Communications/Marketing box, there's no "standard" creative brief here. This is not a plug-and-play role. As an earned-first agency, we shape our ideas around the story we want to tell—not the media plan. What we sell in shifts with every brief – one day it's a reactive TikTok idea, the next it's a 360 campaign with PR, influencer, digital, and brand film components. We're looking for sharp thinkers and culture junkies who thrive in creative chaos.

This is a chance to work with a best-in-class creative crew that's picked up wins all the way to Cannes. If you're ready to do the best work of your life—we'd love to meet you.

To land this gig, you need to have a passion for people and helping others solve problems. Our culture is what sets us apart from traditional ad agencies, and it's why so many stay with us awhile. At Edelman, our most valuable resource is you – our people – with a diversity of backgrounds, ideas, and smarts (with heart). We support one another, encourage each other, and we're looking for individuals who want to contribute to our culture.
