About the Role

We are looking for a senior copywriter (freelance) who can develop ideas and bring them to life. This is a hybrid role for someone who can concept social-first campaigns, write scripts and copy, and create content across both traditional and emerging production methods.

This person should be a strong conceptual thinker and versatile writer, comfortable moving between campaign lines, scripts, and long-form storytelling. They stay current with culture and platform trends, and know how to translate a brief into ideas that feel native to social.

Experience working on sustainability, ESG, or purpose-driven campaigns is a strong plus. This is not a management role, but it does require independence, initiative, and the ability to thrive under tight timelines.

Responsibilities:

• Concept Ideas Quickly: Actively develop and iterate on social-first concepts, scripts, and copy, moving fast without sacrificing craft.
  
  
• Write Across Formats: Write social copy, campaign lines, presentation language, and narrative framing that turn stories into engaging creative.
  
  
• Collaborate Across Disciplines: Work closely with a Creative Director, Art Director, editors, and motion graphics artists to develop ideas and shape them through execution.
  
  
• Contribute in a Fast-Paced Environment: Thrive in a team built around speed, flexibility, and quick creative turnarounds, while maintaining strong thinking and attention to craft.

About You

The essentials:

• Experience: 5-8 years of copywriting experience in a top-tier agency or tech-forward creative studio. Experience working on sustainability or ESG campaigns is a strong plus.
  
  
• Strong Writing and Concepting Skills: You can develop clear, compelling creative ideas and write them well across formats.
  
  
• Comfortable Across Production Methods: You know how to make content through traditional production methods and are also comfortable adapting to new tools, like AI, as part of the process.
  
  
• Social-First Instincts: You understand how content should feel on social and know how to create ideas that are platform-aware and culturally relevant.
  
  
• Collaborative Working Style: You work well across a multidisciplinary team and know how to build ideas in partnership with different creative disciplines.
  
  
• Independence and Follow-Through: You can take a brief, find creative angles quickly, and move work forward without needing constant direction.
  
  
• Comfort with Speed and Deadlines: You do well in fast-moving environments, and you know how to keep the work strong while moving quickly.
  
  
• Client-Facing Communication Skills: You can speak clearly about ideas, explain your thinking, and contribute confidently in presentations.

At Monks, we believe in fostering an environment where a diversity of perspectives can thrive. We proactively work to design hiring processes that promote equity and inclusion while mitigating bias.
