ROLE

We’re looking for a passionate, well-rounded, kickass copywriter to join the GoPro Creative team. The copywriter will help bring the beloved GoPro brand, and its products, to life across a variety of mediums. We’re looking for someone to roll up their sleeves and dig in on a little of everything—from advertising campaigns, product naming and channel assets to website, marketing email and sell sheet copy.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Develop copy for new product launches, both hardware and software including naming, messaging, features and benefits, etc.
  • Collaborate with designers, art directors and other writers on creative solutions for all mediums.

SKILLS

  • You take initiative, stay organized and own all work from kickoff to handoff.
  • You can write in the GoPro voice, and you’re down to get a little irreverent.
  • You’re eager to think and write conceptually and partner with creative teams on big ideas.
  • You can work with engineers and product people to turn techy concepts into easy reading.
  • You can partner with cross-functional stakeholders, take feedback and refine messaging to meet their objectives.
  • You can handle multiple projects with confidence and keep the positive vibes flowing in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment.
  • You embrace the art of brevity.

REQUIREMENTS

  • 6 to 8+ years of copywriting experience at a relevant brand or agency.
  • Portfolio or samples are required.
  • Bachelor’s degree in English, journalism, advertising, marketing or communications preferred.
  • Self-motivated and positive with strong attention to detail. A good sense of humor is a massive plus.
