THE OPPORTUNITY

Senior Copywriter

We are seeking a versatile, ideas-first Senior Copywriter to join our dynamic creative team in Detroit. This is a role for an adaptive storyteller who is much more than a digital writer.

In this role, you will partner closely with art directors and designers to shape our primary client's narrative. You should have the confidence to pitch your ideas, back up your creative choices, and execute them beautifully. If you have a passion for premium branding, love a fast-paced agency vibe, and want to see your concepts come to life, we want to hear from you.

• Multi-Channel Portfolio: A strong portfolio showcasing big-picture creative thinking and work that lives harmoniously jacross multiple media channels. (Automotive experience is a huge plus, but not a dealbreaker!).
• Tech Stack: Fluency in Figma for collaboration, Confluence for documentation, and familiarity working alongside design teams in Adobe Creative Suite.
• Collaborative Spirit: A drive to work seamlessly with strategists, project managers, and clients to bring groundbreaking work to life.
