Job Description

Summary

NCP COPYWRITER – Updated 10.09.24

You’re a great writer, with two superpowers: You can write for businesses talking to businesses as well as brands talking to consumers. You find that discovering creative solutions is both fascinating and equally inspiring. And the work you’ve done proves it.

You’re a concept-driven copywriter. You love starting a project from scratch as much as evolving an existing idea. You turn complex information into clear and engaging content. You bring humanity to technical spaces. And your talent knows no bounds, because you can write amazing promo campaigns, sales decks, emails, web copy and even the occasional award entry. You’re a team player. A researcher. An information condenser. A sound bite maker.

You’re extremely organized and able to juggle multiple priorities while meeting deadlines. And, you love coffee and tea and refreshers especially ones made by Starbucks and Seattle’s Best Coffee and all of the portfolio of food and beverages made under the Nestlé Coffee Partners company which will be your primary client.

In short, you are that rare ambidextrous writing talent we’ve all been looking for.
