Remote Marketing Copywriter wanted (retail) | $43 to $51 per hour

COMPANY/PUBLICATION: WAYFAIR

Wayfair is home to one of the retail industry’s largest in-house creative agencies. The Creative Group is a world-class team of brilliant minds, comprised of many disciplines – designers, copywriters, stylists, editors, cinematographers, directors, producers, and more. Our work fuels all forms of on-site and off-site marketing and communication with our consumers, from email to direct mail, to site work, social, and beyond.

Wayfair Professional, Wayfair’s platform for interior designers, contractors, and a wide range of businesses, is seeking a full time Marketing Copywriter (remote okay!) with proven experience writing for a retail audience and a strong interest in furniture and design. We use data-driven insights to guide our work, but we also believe in a healthy dose of spirited storytelling as we strive to transform the e-commerce landscape. If that piques your interest, keep reading.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Under the guidance of the Creative Director, ACDs, and in close collaboration with your design partners, concept and write short- and long-form copy across marketing channels and brand touchpoints, such as omni-channel campaigns, email content, case studies, editorial site content, advertising, service communications, and beyond.
• Use Wayfair’s wealth of performance metrics and other data (especially customer insights) to guide smarter creative decisions.
• Live in lockstep with your cross-functional partners. You'll be responsible for maintaining seamless communication, understanding and influencing their priorities and goals, and effectively producing creative that supports (and furthers) those objectives.
• Do all of the above in a fast-paced environment where deadlines are daily and the volume of work is high. It’s not a small or easy task, but it’s a fun and rewarding one.

WHO YOU ARE:

• Minimum 3 years experience writing for a retail audience (either in-house or at an agency). Ideally, you’ve worked with both digital and print.
• Deeply obsessed with home furnishings, interior design, and style, with a sincere interest in the retail industry and the core industries we serve.
• Proven ability and experience writing knock-your-socks-off short- and long-form copy.
• Passionate about the creative process of writing as well as the mechanics and finer points of proper grammar, syntax, and punctuation.
• Endlessly curious about the customer – their passions, needs, and pain points.
• An expert collaborator and someone who works well with other writers and designers, as well as cross-functional business partners.
• Strong ability to articulate your ideas and opinions and self-advocate, with proof points to ground them.
• Known for your meticulous attention to detail, ability to multitask, and a strong belief that an organized Creative is a successful Creative.
• For consideration, an online portfolio or samples of your work are required.

The pay for this position is $43-$51.
