Brand Copywriter Lead Marketing Los Angeles

Your Role
Sans is on a mission to build the next great consumer hardware brand, with a laser focus on products that help people live healthier lives at home. We started with a category-leading air purifier before expanding to a best-in-class countertop water purifier that actually works to eliminate harmful contaminants – and our product roadmap is just getting started.

We’re a small, ambitious team that believes deeply in our ability to create a meaningful consumer brand. We move fast, learn quickly, and consistently outperform much larger competitors.

We’re looking for a Brand & Storytelling Copy Lead to define how Sans speaks - and ensure that voice shows up clearly and consistently across every brand touchpoint. This role owns narrative, tone, and storytelling systems, translating our brand strategy into content that builds trust, authority, and long-term demand. You’ll report to our Creative Director, and work closely with Brand, Creative, eCom, Lifecycle, and Product to ensure our brand is not only distinct-but deeply understood.

The Brand Storyteller will own the words across our full organic customer journey - from organic social, to brand-forward emails/sms and the website as well as packaging.

The ideal candidate brings sharp instincts for turning complex ideas into simple, clear, compelling language. They’re balancing brand storytelling with clarity and actionability, building both systems (frameworks) and taste (great copy). They’re able to adapt voice across formats without losing consistency and elevating work through sharp, actionable feedback.
