Content Strategists & Writers

Role Description

Nexus is seeking talented content writers with talent and culture experience to work on a range of client projects. These are contract roles to work on selected client engagements. We may also be looking for talented writers for longer-term contracts, and possibly full-time roles.

Working alongside our internal creative and account teams, you’ll help our clients bring large-scale employee-facing programs to life, with messaging tailored for executives, people leaders, and individual contributors.

Key Focus Areas

• Talent & Culture (including EVP work)
  • Articulate: Synthesize inputs from clients and our strategy team into well-organized pillars, clearly articulated with their nuances and supporting reasons to believe.
  • Express: Bring those pillars to life with powerful, stylized language.
  • Refine: Actively listen and integrate nuanced feedback from stakeholders and participants.
• Ad Creative
  • Develop digital talent attraction concepts for paid social, native, programmatic, and other targeted recruitment advertising - informed by the EVP and aimed at key job families.
  • Build creative platforms, ad copy, and post copy, including A/B and multivariate testing.
• Digital & Web Content
  • Write career-page content that brings the EVP to life with fidelity, creativity, and continuity — helping candidates understand and engage with our clients’ opportunities.

Across all three areas, strong digital writing chops and SEO fluency are essential.

What You’ll Do

• Lead or participate in briefing, input, and discovery meetings; originate creative written concepts that respond to client briefs.
• Develop strategic content tailored to different audience segments, job families, regions, and levels of seniority.
• Create attention-getting concepts and clear direction for the design team - selling through your ideas and bringing words and art together into outstanding final work.
• Present outlines, drafts, and works-in-progress; gather client feedback and collaborate with internal teams to move projects forward.
• Partner with Project Managers and Account Managers to keep work on strategy, on vision, and on deadline.

Qualifications

• 2 to 7 years of relevant experience as an intermediate to senior writer.
• Writing experience in Human Resources, Talent & Culture, Purpose & Values, EVP, Leadership, Storytelling, Talent Attraction, or Internal Communications (client-side), and/or demonstrated B2B experience.
• Undergraduate degree in Journalism, Marketing, or a related field.
• Excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills across long and short formats.
• Strong research skills.
• Digital and SEO fluency.
• Self-direction - excellent time management and organization, able to work independently.
• A collaborative spirit - easy to work with, reliable, and ready to push the envelope with innovative, disruptive work.
• Strong French writing skills for the Quebec market are a significant asset.
• Comfort working remotely - familiarity with MS Teams, video calls, and screen-sharing is a must.

To Apply

• A short self-shot video telling us about your experience and why you’d be a great fit for this role. Applications without this component will not be considered.
• Your resume.
• A writing sample showcasing recent work in one or more of the focus areas described above - Talent & Culture / EVP, Ad Creative, or Digital & Web Content.
