What you’ll do: 

• Proactively conceptualize and strategize new, intriguing, and effective campaigns 
• Craft exceptional copy, setting the bar for creativity and passion while distilling key messages down to their essence and staying on brief
• Work directly with clients, lead presentations, own deck copy, help with new business work, contribute to conceptual brainstorms, and more
• Develop standards, systems, and best practices for social content creation, as well as maintain monthly content calendar 
• Pivot quickly and seamlessly between brand voices, and effectively manage timelines and turnaround
• Be ahead of the curve with digital trends, language, platforms, and resources to achieve the best performance
• Be the first to know about emerging social media platforms/technologies and how our competitors are using them
• Be the first to experiment with new features across platforms and educate the team on your learnings
• Leverage SEO knowledge to ensure your work reaches the right audience
• Become a key member of a highly collaborative team of creatives, including other copywriters, designers, animators, developers, and more

You’ll be:

• Experienced in all areas of digital copy (social, site, advertising) with the ability to think through user journeys across channels
• Demonstrably skilled in writing for all platforms, working for multiple clients on tight deadlines
• Well-versed in creating and owning social strategies and calendars
• An expert in best practices across social platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, etc.) and digital media
• Confidently able to speak to the nuances of brand voice and easily able to shift between brands
• A strategic thinker who is focused on delivering solutions for our clients that go above-and-beyond the brief
• Comfortable managing the priorities and needs of multiple time-sensitive projects, as well as self-motivated with exceptional follow-up skills
• Someone who thrives in a collaborative team environment, willing to go above and beyond to help your colleagues succeed

What you’ll get: 

In addition to working with some really awesome brands and appreciative clients, we’ll be thrilled to have you as a key member of the team, and excited to nurture and grow your skills. We all love what we do at thelab—we pride ourselves on craftsmanship, thoughtfulness, and flexibility. We’re inherently curious, like to solve problems, and are as passionate about teaching our craft as we are about making great work. We aim for work/life balance and keep a fairly reasonable schedule. Most of all, we’ll care about you, the work you do here, and the career we’ll help you grow.

We offer an environment that is:

• an awesome place for you to grow and learn.
• open-minded and inclusive
• up to date with our technology because we believe the best work gets made when we evolve our skills together.
• large enough so you get an amazing variety of work but small enough so we stay flexible and work with smaller brands and startups too—we even have a few products of our own.

What our interview process looks like:

1. We’ll schedule an initial phone interview so we can get to know you, answer any questions you may have, and see if we might be a good fit for you and vice versa.
2. From there, we’d want to bring you in for an onsite interview and would email you details about a general architectural problem beforehand.
3. At the onsite interview, we’re looking to understand your thinking process—not your knowledge of algorithms. That’s why we won’t be asking you to do whiteboard problems, but instead, we’ll ask you to explain your high-level approach to the architectural problem we shared, articulating it to both an experienced and junior dev.
