Copywriters belong to a cross-functional team on each project, partnering w/ designers, producers, product owners, business analysts and engineering development teams.

Deliverables include short and long copy and annotations for the web site and app.

• Ability to work independently, under tight deadlines, responding to shifting priorities, schedules, and deliverables. Willingness to write and revise copy on demand during working sessions with fellow team members and client.
• Agility with pattern matching, assessing complex requirements, and communicating nuanced details. Adaptability to dynamic processes around drafting and optimizing copy work, including changes introduced by AI tools.

• Understanding of design flows and storyboards for user experience journeys and transactions including familiarity with digital production and content management.
