About the role

We're looking for an Atlanta-based writer to join our team as a full-time Copywriter. This individual will be responsible for researching and writing educational content on various topics related to social good.

The ideal candidate will have excellent writing skills and a desire to learn more about online marketing and SEO.

Writing is a fundamental part of this position. If the idea of writing for 40-45 hours a week doesn’t excite you, this role will not be a good fit.

Tips on applying for the writing position:

• Resumes should be submitted in Word or PDF format.
• Applications without a cover letter will not be reviewed. Links to writing samples should be included in the cover letter. We hire Copywriters from a variety of different writing backgrounds so any type of writing is suitable for the writing samples (academic, blog, journalism, creative, etc).

Nexus Marketing provides team members with additional training opportunities and the potential to grow within the company.

The Location:

Nexus Marketing is located in the heart of Atlanta on the Beltline between Krog Street Market and Ponce City Market with all of our team members located in the metro area. We have a hybrid work structure with team members working in-office some days and remotely other days.

• At least 2-4 years of professional writing or editing experience (blogging, technical writing, previous copywriter roles, grant writing, marketing writing, newspaper/literary magazine, etc.).
• Frighteningly good attention to detail. Bachelor's degree in English, Creative Writing, Journalism, or a related field.
• Strong academic performance: overall 3.8 GPA minimum.
• SEO or nonprofit experience is a plus!

What excites you (Responsibilities):

• Researching a variety of topics with limited oversight.
• Conceptualizing, writing, and editing marketing and educational content including blog articles, web pages, and downloadable resources.
• Managing and prioritizing work for multiple projects to meet defined deadlines.
• Working and communicating well within a team.

Values:

• Support a culture and environment where high performers feel challenged, are empowered, and want to work.
• Indecision is the only wrong decision. If you've got a reasonable shot at making the right call, take action.
• Demonstrate best-in-class responsiveness with quick, proactive, and thoughtful responses to clients, partners, prospects, and team members.
• Give back to your community and the causes you care about.
• Stay open to new ideas & advocate for them, but commit 100% once a decision is made.
• Treat clients, partners, prospects, and team members fairly & exceed their expectations.
