About the job

A global airline brand is building out the in-house copywriting bench on its Brand Marketing team, and they're looking for a Copywriter who can move fast across a lot of surfaces without losing the voice.

This is a long-term, full-time, hybrid contract in Chicago, sitting within a small, senior in-house team that works hand-in-hand with the brand's agency partners. The projects vary: one day you're writing a caption that has to feel like it belongs in the feed; the next you're writing the through-line for an internal sizzle reel or getting the technical details right on a route announcement. If you like range, and you like being the person who actually knows where the comma goes, this is a good seat.

You Will:

Write across formats and audiences — social captions, out-of-home, influencer scripts, sizzle reel narration, event and campaign collateral

Build the through-line for internal sizzle reels from existing footage and materials, thinking visually and verbally at the same time

Flex between culturally fluent social copy and precise technical announcements — new routes, aircraft, schedule news

Edit and proofread copy from teammates, agency partners, and influencer collaborators

QC agency deliverables, including scripts and caption/SRT files, before they go live

Hold the brand voice steady across channels, stakeholders, and formats

Partner with departments across the business to get announcements accurate as well as compelling

Collaborate with the in-house content team and the brand's agencies of record

You Have:

6+ years of copywriting for well-known consumer brands — agency or in-house

A portfolio that shows range across channels, not depth in one (required to be considered)

Real command of grammar, punctuation, and style-guide discipline — you're comfortable being the last set of eyes, and you don't need one behind you

The ability to write both ends of the spectrum: culture-aware social and buttoned-up technical

Appetite for a genuinely complex industry, and the patience to become a student of it

Exceptional organization and the ability to juggle multiple projects at once

Strong collaborative energy — you work well solo and in a room

Bachelor's degree in communications, English, journalism, or a related field

Nice to have: AP Style familiarity; strategy-informed writing (the content strategy seats are filled, but thinking strategically about what you write is welcome)

Logistics:

Duration: Long-term contract; no end date defined

Hours/Week: 40

Onsite/offsite: Hybrid — Chicago-based required; two days onsite per week (Tues/Wed), downtown

Team Structure: Reports into Brand Marketing; small in-house team (one full-time lead plus a part-time social specialist) working alongside external agency partners. Interview process: hiring manager, then Creative Director

Rate: $50/hr
