Copywriter

About the Role

As a Copywriter, Social & Digital at Monks, your words will inform, engage, and move audiences for one of the world’s biggest CPG food companies. This isn’t a role for someone who waits for the brief—it’s for a writer who scrolls with intent, thinks in formats, and knows exactly what makes a thumb stop mid‑swipe. You’ll be part of a nimble, AI‑forward creative team, owning short‑form copy across social, digital media, and always‑on content, bringing cultural fluency and genuine craft to everything from a six‑word caption to a paid social headline.

• Concept and write scroll‑stopping copy across existing and emerging social platforms—understanding the distinct voice, format, and audience behavior of each.
• Craft thumb‑stopping hooks, opening lines, and visual anchors that earn attention in the first 1–2 seconds of content.
• Translate brand strategy and creative briefs into sharp, on‑brand short‑form copy for paid and organic social, display banners, digital OOH, and in‑feed video.
• Go beyond the brief—proactively pitch ideas, creative territories, and copy experiments that push the work further than what was asked for.
• Collaborate closely with Art Directors, Designers, CDs, and Project Managers on projects of all scales, ensuring copy and visuals land as one unified idea.
• Maintain and evolve the brand’s social voice, keeping consistency across always‑on content while staying responsive to cultural moments, trends, and reactive opportunities.
• Write and contribute to compelling creative decks for internal and client‑facing presentations—because how you sell the idea matters as much as the idea itself.
• Stay plugged into food culture, CPG trends, meme formats, and platform algorithm shifts—translating those insights into timely, relevant copy.
• Continuously raise the bar for writing quality, developing yourself and elevating the people around you through shared craft.
• Embrace and evolve your creative process alongside emerging AI tools—using them to move faster and think bigger, not replace your instincts.
• Use SEO principles to maximize copy’s reach.

• 4–6 years of copywriting experience at a creative agency, social‑first studio, or in‑house brand team—with a portfolio spanning multiple tones of voice across multiple brands.
• A demonstrable command of short‑form copy craft: you understand that a caption is not an afterthought, a headline is not a label, and character count is a creative constraint worth respecting.
• Comfort writing for video scripts and on‑screen text—understanding how copy lives in motion.
• Proven experience writing for social and digital platforms, with fluency in how copy performs differently across paid vs. organic and native vs. boosted formats.
• Sharp instincts for what makes content stop the scroll—whether that’s a provocative question, an unexpected POV, a cultural reference, or a dead‑simple truth said in a fresh way.
• Excellent writing, editing, and proofreading skills with an obsessive eye for detail.
• A proactive, self‑starting mindset—you bring ideas without being prompted, flag opportunities before they’re missed, and take ownership from brief to final asset.
• Strong time‑management and organizational skills; you can juggle multiple briefs simultaneously without letting quality slip.

• Experience writing for CPG, food & beverage, or lifestyle brands.
• Familiarity with performance marketing copy.
• Experience writing for SEO.

• Excellent, full‑coverage medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous PTO and 15 company‑wide holidays.
• 401(k) with company contribution.
• Paid parental leave.
• Work‑life balance with an emphasis on personal well‑being.
• Career growth in a disruptor space & entrepreneurial opportunities within the Monks network.
• A globally diverse & inclusive culture with employee resource groups such as S4 Melanin, Pride.
  
  Monks, Cultura.
  
  Monks, and more!
• Authentic commitment to DEI efforts and sustainable growth.

Salary Range: $65,000—$74,000 USD
