Senior Copywriter

Pay: $77,100-$96,350/yr

Job type: Full Time


TravisMathew is a premium apparel brand that exists because we seized an opportunity—and we’re inviting you to take yours. Back in 2007, we saw there weren’t many companies whose clothing bridged the gap between performance and lifestyle, so we created our own. Inspired by the sun, surf, and sand of Southern California, we became a leading innovator in lifestyle performance apparel by making clothes for real life—plus working with premium wholesalers, building a leading e‑commerce business, and opening retail stores around the world. We invite you to join team TravisMathew.
