Description
Reports to: Director of Strategy
Deksia is where a senior copywriter with 4-6 years of experience can grow, lead and manage a team doing great work. We work with different clients in different industries, growing fast, so this is a fast-paced environment. This growth creates lots of opportunities. Here, writing copy is fun and engaging, a constantly evolving challenge.
At Deksia, senior copywriters work with CMSs and use exceptional editing and proofing capabilities to polish original, compelling copy for various marketing tactics. Like most agencies, we have deadlines, and senior copywriters help direct projects with creative briefs and collaboration with clients, account managers and creative teams. Working with great people is a critical part of our culture.
Deksia copywriters actively understand and translate copy into the client’s brand with constructive criticism going both ways (we all want to get better, so let’s talk and fix it). Deksia gives senior copywriters a voice in how projects are scoped and quoted and a role to review work that needs client approval. If this sounds fun to you, please apply today!
