Copywriter

The world of business is undergoing a radical shift. Technology makes it easier to build products, or copy designs and features from competitors. And this is only the beginning. We're experiencing a cultural shift because there are so many viable options, people are exercising their power of choice. Today, people choose products or services that not only help them get their jobs done, but they can also choose a company for its values, its mission, and ultimately, its brand. Today, businesses need an edge.

At Typeform, our purpose is simple: we want to reinvent how brands and communities interact. We do this by building products that help brands stand out. We do this with content that inspires them to bring their best.

Typeform is a team of over 200 people representing 30 countries. We have offices in Barcelona, Spain, and San Francisco, United States.

About the role

"Can you sell me this pen?" You've probably heard this interview tactic before, but as a copywriter for Typeform your interview challenge will be, "Can you sell me this beautiful interface?" And can you do it through honest influence, not manipulative, click-baity tactics? Why is this important? Because Typeform, like any SaaS platform, is a relationship business. And we want to build long-term relationships with our community, not one-night stands.

At Typeform, our purpose is simple: we want to reinvent how brands and communities interact so that they can bring their best to every interaction. We do this through our products. We do this through our content.

And you? You're a Senior Copywriter who’s obsessed with conversions, sure, but more than that, you want to deliver the best experiences to people. You’ll bring the company’s voice and tone to life through marketing campaigns, lifecycle emails, web pages, video scripts, and pretty much anywhere else we make content. You’ll get involved at every stage of content creation – brainstorming, writing, editing, and design. You'll experiment like crazy using data analysis and optimization strategies to drive higher converting ads, landing pages, and campaigns. And you’ll do this for Typeform’s core product and VideoAsk.

Here’s Paul, our Director of Brand and Communications:

“If the internet is anything, it's a conduit for communication between people. And all communication is made up of content. You'll help us make every piece of content meaningful to the right people.”

‍You’ll report to the Head of Content as part of the Brand & Communications pillar within the Marketing team. You’ll work with key people from our Product, Marketing, and Creative teams. 
Do you have a passion for crafting phrases that move people? A strategic mind that knows how to use words to drive results?
