Copy & Content Writer
Mondo, San Francisco, CA, United States
Job Details
Job Title:
Copy & Content Writer - Brand
Location:
Remote (SF/NY preferred)
Start Date:
ASAP
Duration:
6+ month contract (high potential to extend/convert)
Compensation Range:
$195/hr
This role is eligible for medical, dental, and vision benefits.
Job Description We're looking for a senior writer to help build and define a brand voice from scratch. This is the first dedicated brand writer for the team, and the work spans everything from sharp campaign language to rigorous long‑form editorial—always with clarity, taste, and intellectual seriousness.
This is not a demand‑gen, CRO, or SEO‑first role.
What you'll do (day to day)
Write across brand touchpoints: campaign concepts & taglines, headlines, ads, web copy, newsletters, decks/presentations, scripts, and print
Produce long‑form editorial and thought leadership (roughly 800‑1,500 words) that advances clear ideas without oversimplifying
Develop event naming and experiential/environmental copy (signage, wayfinding language, event systems, booth/activation copy)
Translate technical and policy‑adjacent topics into accessible writing for mixed audiences (technical + non‑technical)
Partner closely with design to ensure language and visual direction reinforce each other
Help establish and maintain brand voice and messaging frameworks
Edit and elevate writing produced internally or with external partners
Manage multiple projects in an environment where priorities can shift—without sacrificing craft
Must‑haves
10+ years writing experience in brand writing, editorial, or content design
Strong editorial sensibility (you read widely; you care about language; you can distinguish clear writing from merely correct writing)
Primarily top‑tier editorial publication experience (e.g., NYT/FT/WSJ/WIRED/Atlantic/Monocle/Kinfolk‑type environments). Publication credits are a plus; editorial rigor is required.
Portfolio that shows range and quality across formats, including:
Short‑form brand copy (campaign lines, headlines, ads)
Long‑form editorial/thought leadership (800‑1,500 words)
Voice consistency across multiple channels
Demonstrated ability to write about complex, technical, or policy‑adjacent subjects for non‑specialist audiences without flattening the nuance
Comfort collaborating with designers, strategists, and senior stakeholders
Experience creating or maintaining voice/tone guidelines or messaging frameworks
Bachelor's degree
Nice‑to‑haves
Experience writing in or adjacent to AI, technology, research, policy, or mission‑driven organizations
Experience working with (or within) a creative agency / brand studio
Experience with event naming systems, experiential/environmental copy, and brand activations
Genuine interest in the societal implications of advanced technology and a bias toward intellectual honesty in communication
Strong positive signals
Editorial leadership, magazine/newsroom/editorial studio background
Thought leadership essays, reported pieces, cultural criticism, op‑eds, books/chapters
Brand voice work: naming systems, messaging frameworks, campaign lines
Tech/policy translation (not just "software copy")
Strong negative signals
"SEO/CRO/SEM/performance marketing" as primary identity
Landing‑page conversion specialist / direct response copywriter
Pure demand‑gen / growth marketing writer with no editorial body of work
Portfolios dominated by product pages, nurture streams, ABM sequences
