Senior Copywriter

Writing is the ultimate exercise for the creative mind. Take what you're reading right now, for example. It's entertaining (so far), right? Have you ever seen a job description written like this? We're guessing you haven't and here you are, still reading it. That's the power of good copy, if we do say so ourselves.

At Cox Enterprises, we're looking for a Senior Copywriter to join the Ideabar team (our in-house creative agency) and produce words that intrigue and inspire. Whether you're crafting concepts for an advertising campaign or guiding content strategy for a website build, you'll take your creativity and imagination for a spin every day.

What's In It For You?

We're glad you asked, because we love our answer and think you will too. Here's a little taste of our best-in-class benefits package and award-winning employee culture:

• We all have lives and responsibilities outside of work, and we respect that. We have an exceptional work/life balance at Cox, with accommodating work schedules and flexible time-off policies.
• Our talent is paid what they're worth with a competitive salary package and top-notch bonus & incentive plans.
• We help you prepare for the future with a 401(k) (that well generously match), life insurance and disability insurance.

• Looking to grow your family? Rest assured you'll have access to our inclusive parental leave policies, plus comprehensive fertility coverage and adoption assistance.
• Want to volunteer in your community? We encourage that, and even offer paid hours for you to do so.
• Our employees enjoy discounts on computers, entertainment, travel and more.
• Continuing education and professional development are important, and at Cox we offer both.
• We all love our pets whether they walk, crawl, fly, swim or slither and were happy to supply insurance for them as well.

Believe it or not, there's even more than that! We have a veritable smorgasbord of benefits at Cox, giving you the freedom to pick and choose what works best for you and your family.
