Junior Copywriter

Junior Copywriter

Help write the brand that defines the future of food. We're hiring a copywriter to work across sales, internal communications, social, and brand. You'll write a lot, learn fast, and sharpen your craft inside a team building a category-defining voice from the ground up. This is a high-volume, high-growth role for a writer early in their career who wants reps that matter.

Essential duties & responsibilities:

• Write across the brand
• Draft copy for sales materials, one-pagers, pitch decks, and customer-facing collateral
• Write and adapt social content — captions, community responses, short-form scripts — in our voice
• Support internal communications: company announcements, culture content, recruiting copy, and team updates
• Contribute to brand campaigns, web copy, packaging, and experiential projects as needed
• Protect and practice the voice
• Learn our brand voice deeply and apply it consistently across every touchpoint
• Make complex science feel simple, human, and approachable
• Proof, edit, and fact-check copy across teams to keep quality high
• Support a modern creative engine
• Partner with designers, marketers, and sales to turn briefs into finished work quickly
• Use AI tools thoughtfully for ideation, iteration, and production — and help test how they extend the brand voice
• Keep projects organized: manage versions, deadlines, and feedback rounds across multiple workstreams
• Grow
• Take direction and feedback well — and apply it to the next draft
• Build toward ownership of channels and campaigns over time

Ideal background:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in communications, English, advertising, journalism, or related field preferred.
• Experience: 1–3 years of copywriting experience (agency, brand, in-house, or strong internship/portfolio work)
• A portfolio that shows range — you can write a punchy caption and a clear sales one-pager
• Comfortable writing across formats and switching contexts quickly
• Strong grammar, attention to detail, and an instinct for clarity
• Curious about AI as a creative tool
• Receptive to feedback and hungry to improve
• Excited about food, science, sustainability, or culture-shaping brands

Why this role is rare:

Most junior writing roles hand you a style guide and a queue of tickets. This one puts you inside the room where a category-defining voice is being built — with direct mentorship from senior creative leadership and real ownership of work that ships.
