Creative Copywriter

Salary range: $65,000 - $75,000

tmp helps B2B marketing leaders create coherence in a chaotic world. We’re looking for obsessively curious people to join us. 

You'll join 300 B2B experts across strategy, data, creative, media, client services, sales activation, and shared services. Different skills brought together in integrated teams, centred around our clients: the world’s most impactful tech companies. 

So, if you’re interested in what makes the world work, if you find solving complex problems fun, and you love making the answers as simple as possible, then we’d love to hear from you.

What we are looking for:

We’re looking for a creative copywriter to join our US team! You’re a champion of your craft. A varied, experienced writer who understands how to take a brief and run with it. You’re curious and can build on the thinking of others, applying your own strategic thinking, and you articulate it all with precision. 

You get a kick out of coming up with a great line. You understand the power of a creative concept. And, you have an appetite to grow your proficiency in both.  

Whether it's a headline, a manifesto, a website or a billboard—you can take direction and work with designers to make sure the idea, writing and the visuals tell a story together.  

You’d like to take point on your own projects. You’re comfortable presenting your work to clients, and you represent the copy space in your team. You don’t wait for instruction, and you appreciate constructive feedback you can learn from.  

You believe B2B work should be just as powerful and imaginative as B2C and you’ll be part of a team that feels the same. You’ll be solving problems creatively. Ads, campaigns, brands, stories — you’ll work across it all. 

What you will do:

Collaborate 

• Work day-to-day, side-by-side with a multidisciplinary team of creative directors, art directors, designers, strategists and media specialists.
• Learn by immersion, soaking up account knowledge with every conversation and brief that comes in.
• Help the clients and the teams you work with to simplify (sometimes very) complex information.

Own your work 

• Take the lead on copy matters in executing client projects, often working with a designer as a creative duo.  
• Present your own work and offer your creative input. 
• Own your ideas and advocate for them, with a willingness to flex as required.  

 Generate ideas that:   

• Are surprising and differentiating, while still being relevant for the target audience. 
• Express the client proposition. 
• Are easy to understand, simply expressed and work in a non-written format.

 Write in a style that:   

• Uses wit, intelligence and lateral thinking.  
• Takes complex business jargon and translates it into everyday language.  
• Is easy and enjoyable to read and structured in a way that makes it engaging. 
• Is appropriate to the audience, the medium and conforms to brand requirements.  
• Is accurate and checked for spelling, grammar and syntax.  
• You may occasionally be asked to support with proofreading the work of your copy peers.

Requirements

Who you are:

• You’re interested in technology, the role it plays in everyday life and you have an opinion on AI.
• You appreciate the importance of processes and systems and will understand that sometimes we must bend the process to meet the needs of the work and our people.
• You’ll see the bigger picture and want to use your talent to build with creativity, not just deliver on what’s in front of you.
• You’re a team player and see collaboration as a superpower.  

This role is not for someone who 

• Has very recently qualified from a writing programme or course.
• Runs from teamwork or prefers to work alone.
• Lacks interest in how some of the biggest tech names in the world work.
• Is anti-AI. 

You'll love this role if …. 

• You’re interested in tech — the role it plays in everyday life and you have an opinion on AI.
• You appreciate the importance of processes and systems and will understand that sometimes we must bend the process to meet the needs of the work and our people.
• You’ll see the bigger picture and want to use your talent to build with creativity, not just deliver on what’s in front of you.
• You’re a team player and see collaboration as a superpower.

What you will need:  

• 2+ years’ full-time experience in a copy-based creative role (Agency experience preferred but not essential).
• A portfolio of work that shows your thinking and craft (which we will treat with discretion).
• An eye for detail—you set high standards for your copy and expect the same of others.
• A collaborative spirit and the confidence to own the room — with colleagues and clients alike.
• The ability to simplify the complex and make it impactful.
• Comfort switching between campaign thinking and day-to-day content — and doing both well.
• A keen sense of how creativity shows up across different platforms — and what makes ideas stick.
• Experience of working in B2B marketing is great, but B2C works too.

A sneak peek at your first three months  
What to expect  

• You’ll hit the ground running with a comprehensive induction.
• Ask questions, be curious and willing to learn.
• Learn how to process and disseminate a copy brief.
• Be prepared to read a lot. The best writers learn by immersion.
• You won’t be expected to be an expert, but you’ll retain knowledge as you go on your key accounts.
• You’ll inevitably receive feedback on your work. You’ll demonstrate that you can take this constructively and that you have learnt from it.
• You’ll have forged relationships with the wider tmp team, and it’ll feel like you were always part of it.

A note on applying:

Not sure you tick every box? Apply anyway. Research shows some people hold back unless they meet 100% of the requirements. We do not want that to be you. 

At tmp, we hire for potential, mindset, and character as much as experience. If you are excited about the role but your background is not a perfect match, we would still love to hear from you. You might be exactly what we are looking for, either for this role or another. 

Diversity equals increased creativity, which equals better results for all. We’re committed to equality of opportunity and applications from all individuals are encouraged. If you have a disability or additional need that requires accommodation, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
