REQUIREMENTS
The perfect candidate doesn’t exist, but you might be just who we’re looking for.
- For this mid-senior position, we’re looking for a bilingual copywriter with outstanding grammar and wordplay in Dutch and English (and hyperalertness for valse vrienden).
- You’re as much a tagline writer as you’re a tech writer who can shadow as a UX writer, and drop-shadow as a UI writer.
- While you might be tired of the word, your storytelling skills allow you to work on scripts that leave an impression in as little as 6 seconds.
- You understand the good, the bad and the ugly of programmatic advertising and behavioural targeting in order to create effective and engaging copy.
- Producing quality work out of detailed briefs and thin air alike, you create copy with clever lines and insights we can build brands on.
- Your copy is clear and compelling: convincing without bullshit, cheesy puns or esoteric language (after all, the cognoscenti have no exigency for grandiloquence).
- Combining creative and critical thinking, your analytical approach means you ask the right questions and make sense of briefs from a strategic and conceptual perspective.
- You have a knack for structure and organisationboth in words and in the way you workcollaborating through clear and comprehensive content matrices.
- You are the change you want to see in the word: you improve what is said, not just how.
- As part of a constructive feedback loop, you like sharing and solving critique on copy and concepts.
- Your attention to detail is close to annoying: typos, errors, inconsistencies and questionable punctuation marks have little chance of getting past your cursor.
- You’re comfortable jumping in and out at any stage of a projectfrom first ideas to final wordsdelivering tight work even under tight deadlines.
- Having a great sense of personal responsibility, you're keen to learn and push yourself to make good, great
