Direct Copywriter Jobs in Austin, TX (NOW HIRING)

Bumble's Creative Studio is at an exciting inflection point. We're growing rapidly, supporting Bumble Inc.'s portfolio of apps globally and we want this momentum to continue. As part of this expansion, we're looking to hire a Copywriter to be a part of our small but mighty team, working on global projects and across time zones.
In this role within the Creative Studio, you'll help develop effective and culturally relevant work for our portfolio of brands. You'll be part of a full-service, in-house, geographically diverse creative team of designers, art directors, copywriters, video editors, and producers who work hand-in-hand with external production and agency partners.
The person we're looking for is equal parts concept and craft. Someone who appreciates a big idea as much as they do a well-placed em-dash. A writer's writer who knows how to optimize copy per platform and deliver breakthrough ideas rooted in strategy.
Your work will span a wide variety of touchpoints for Bumble Inc.-from social and digital to OOH, experiential, TV, audio, and beyond-in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where your creativity and voice will play a crucial role.
This role is based in the US, reporting to the Copy Lead.
What You'll Be Doing

• Writing compelling copy across a broad range of touchpoints for Bumble Inc.'s diverse brands-spanning social, digital, in-app (ex. CRM, ASO), OOH, experiential, influencer, TV, audio, and partnership campaigns globally.
• Collaborating closely with designers, art directors, motion designers, and other creatives to ensure cohesive and engaging work across all brands.
• Contributing creative ideas and concepts in brainstorming sessions, bringing a strong point of view and a writer's instinct to the table.
• Developing copy that is consumer-centric at its core, rooted in strategy, and brought to life through culturally relevant, beautiful storytelling.
• Presenting work to key stakeholders, clearly explaining the assignment, creative rationale, and how it ladders up to business objectives.
• Optimising copy per platform to meet a range of business goals, with an understanding of best practices across channels.
• Upholding and enforcing Bumble Inc.'s brand voice and standards across all markets and touchpoints.

About You

• You hold a Bachelor's degree in a related field, or have an outstanding portfolio that speaks for itself.
• 3+ years of copywriting experience, ideally with some of it spent in-house.
• You have a clear command of copy best practices and superb writing skills.
• You have a keen cultural curiosity and your finger on the pulse of trends, insights, and culture.
• You are positive and committed with a 'can-do' attitude and a flexible approach to complex briefs.
• You have great communication skills, both verbal and written, and are confident presenting and defending your creative decisions to stakeholders.
• You're comfortable working autonomously (owning your copy) and in collaboration with others (discovering a solution together).
• You thrive in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple projects across multiple time zones and meeting tight deadlines without compromising on quality.
• You have excellent time management and organisational skills. You take full ownership of your work, down to the smallest detail.
• You are highly conceptual, delivering breakthrough creative ideas that are consumer-centric to their core.
• You are self-aware and accountable, and you bring the same care and rigour to a social caption as you do to a full campaign.
• You are passionate about our brand vision and values.
