Where have all the good writers gone?
In a world where AI makes everyone a writer, it’s surprisingly hard to find talented folks who've been formally trained in the craft.
At Muse, we’re looking for a senior freelance copywriter to support our team.
Not a content creator with a voluminous following.
Not an employee moonlighting alongside an unfulfilling job.
Not someone passing the time while looking for a full-time position.
We’re seeking a professional freelance copywriter who understands:
Messaging hierarchy
Buyer’s journey and persona frameworks
How to shift tone with brand personality
Why it's important to “kill your darlings” in service of clarity
The right writer will have:
10+ years of agency experience
Short- and long-form writing and editing across both B2B and B2C brands
Curiosity to ask smart questions and go beyond the brief
A healthy relationship with AI as a tool, not a crutch
This role begins on a project basis, with the potential to fill in while our fabulous Associate Content Director is on leave in May/June, and may evolve into an ongoing retainer if interested.
If you’re a full-time freelance writer who takes the craft seriously, please reach out! We've got a fun and talented team who would love to work with you.
Please DM me with interest, and feel free to share with friends!
