About You
We're on the hunt for a Senior Copywriter to join the OneDayOnly creative team, someone who's not just good with words, but dangerously good. This isn't your average agency gig. It's the kind of role that reminds you why you fell in love with writing in the first place.
You take your craft seriously, but not yourself. You solve problems, crack clever lines, and turn vague briefs into sharp, effective copy. You're proactive, collaborative, and confident enough to bring big ideas to the table and generous enough to share the spotlight. Your writing doesn't just sound good; it works. You know how to turn browsers into buyers and followers into fans. And yes, you'll get a staff discount because writers deserve nice things too.
Responsibilities
- Own and evolve the OneDayOnly tone of voice; you'll know it so well, you could ghostwrite our inner thoughts.
- Write across every touchpoint: web, email, banners, product descriptions, campaign concepts, and the occasional customer service gem.
- Partner with the social media team to craft scroll-stopping content for Facebook, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).
- Contribute to campaign ideation, concept development, and brand storytelling for major projects.
- Ensure all content is polished, proofed, and ready to perform.
- Collaborate with designers, strategists, and marketers to develop smart, effective creative that stands out from the crowd.
- Champion creative consistency and quality across all brand communications.
Requirements, Skills, & Qualifications
- A relevant degree or diploma in Copywriting, Creative Writing, or Marketing.
- 5+ years of experience as a copywriter, ideally within a marketing or advertising agency.
- A strong portfolio showcasing conceptual and executional range.
- Proven ability to adapt tone and style across channels and formats.
- Excellent command of language, grammar, and the subtle art of persuasion.
- Exceptional attention to detail, you'd notice if a comma went missing in a 3,000-word product feed.
- Highly creative and strategically minded.
- Strong time management and organizational skills, you know how to juggle, prioritize, and deliver without dropping the ball.
- Self-motivated, collaborative, and able to take initiative.
- Familiarity with a wide range of content platforms from digital to radio, and everything in between.
- Curiosity and openness to working with AI tools to enhance ideation, efficiency, and creative output (no, it's not replacing you, it's just making you even more of a powerhouse).
- Punctual, reliable, and consistent because great ideas still need great follow-through.
