Help Write the Brand That Defines the Future of Food.
We're hiring a Copywriter to work across sales, internal communications, social, and brand. You'll write a lot, learn fast, and sharpen your craft inside a team building a category-defining voice from the ground up. This is a high-volume, high-growth role for a writer early in their career who wants reps that matter.

Write Across the Brand

Draft copy for sales materials, one-pagers, pitch decks, and customer-facing collateral

Write and adapt social content — captions, community responses, short-form scripts — in our voice

Support internal communications: company announcements, culture content, recruiting copy, and team updates

Contribute to brand campaigns, web copy, packaging, and experiential projects as needed

Protect and Practice the Voice

Learn our brand voice deeply and apply it consistently across every touchpoint

Make complex science feel simple, human, and approachable

Proof, edit, and fact-check copy across teams to keep quality high

Support a Modern Creative Engine

Partner with designers, marketers, and sales to turn briefs into finished work quickly

Use AI tools thoughtfully for ideation, iteration, and production — and help test how they extend the brand voice

Keep projects organized: manage versions, deadlines, and feedback rounds across multiple workstreams

Grow

Take direction and feedback well — and apply it to the next draft

Build toward ownership of channels and campaigns over time

Ideal Background
Education
Bachelor’s degree in communications, English, Advertising, Journalism, or related field preferred.

Experience

1–3 years of copywriting experience (agency, brand, in-house, or strong internship/portfolio work)

A portfolio that shows range — you can write a punchy caption and a clear sales one-pager

Comfortable writing across formats and switching contexts quickly

Strong grammar, attention to detail, and an instinct for clarity

Curious about AI as a creative tool

Receptive to feedback and hungry to improve

Excited about food, science, sustainability, or culture-shaping brands

Why This Role Is Rare
Most junior writing roles hand you a style guide and a queue of tickets. This one puts you inside the room where a category-defining voice is being built — with direct mentorship from senior creative leadership and real ownership of work that ships.

If you want your early reps to count, let's talk.
