Copywriter

A few examples of your responsibilities

• Wordsmith a variety of communications, with the opportunity to focus on the areas where your copywriting passion and potential shine the brightest—including legalese, press releases, commercial campaigns, and UX/UI messaging.
• Help draft impeccably resonant internal communications, such as welcome messages for new Spooners and company-wide memos.
• Support our Spooners in an array of written formats (presentations, pitch decks, email messaging, and much more), coaching them to continuously adopt best practices.
• Work alongside our recruiters to make sure the copy we use for events, candidate sourcing, and other important initiatives is crafted to perfection.

What we look for

• Passion. You have a genuine love for the field. You investigate the subject extensively and are always up to date with the latest developments.
• Impeccable English. Your command of English is impeccable—meaning you possess a mighty vocabulary, grasp of grammar, and flair for form. Speaking Italian isn't required.
• Excellent writing skills. You understand the nuts and bolts behind creating engaging, coherent copy that can entertain, educate, and inspire different audiences, adapting according to the reader and the medium.
• Accuracy and precision. Your attention to detail is spot-on, and you’re painstakingly accurate. The quality of your output, whether in academia or at work, is consistently pristine.
• Common sense. Your judgment and intuition are sound and well grounded in reality.
• Humility. You’re down to earth, eager to listen to feedback and constructive criticism, and ready to support your team with whatever it needs to succeed.
• A collaborative nature. You can understand others and work well with them, balancing patience and assertiveness.
• Pragmatism. Far from being too academic or obsessive in your perfectionism, you understand that speed is often as important as quality when getting things done in a competitive world.
• Organization and structure. You’re meticulously organized and superbly structured, so you can handle multiple tasks and responsibilities with poise and precision.
• Diligence. You fulfill all your responsibilities to the best of your ability, regardless of how much you like the task at hand. People you worked or studied with would say you’re exceptionally conscientious.

What we offer

• Flexibility and trust. From day one, you’ll be one of the team and fully trusted. No micromanagement or clipping your wings—just the freedom and responsibility to do great work.
• Variety. You could be conjuring up copy for a wide portfolio of products and marketing campaigns, plus drafting important internal documents and countless other communications. There’s zero chance of boredom here!
• International reach. We’re a global company, and your work will have worldwide exposure.
• Continuous education. Spooners get unlimited backing for learning investments, including Italian or English lessons and things like courses, conferences, and books. There’s no permission or approval process—you’re fully trusted to use the company’s resources efficiently.
• Talented, knowledgeable colleagues. Learn from (and teach) some of the brightest and most skilled people you’ll ever meet. Your talent is going to blossom here.
• People who lift up one another. We hire for talent and leave the ego at the door. You'll find a group of truly talented Spooners who are eager to teach their secrets and to learn. Reciprocal support and respect is everything—you’re unlikely to ever encounter a more harmonious crew.
• Remote working. Spend as much or as little time in our Milan office as you choose. Many Spooners like to change up their environment and get out of the city whenever the mood strikes. You’ve always got the freedom to decide where today’s office is.
• Flexible schedule. Our regular hours are 9-6 GMT+1, with remote work allowed within GMT-2 to GMT+3 time zones.
• Relocation package. If you need to relocate for the position, we typically cover reasonable transportation and moving expenses, provide up to three months of temporary accommodation, and help you and your close family members with visa support if necessary.
• Competitive pay and access to equity in the company. Pay grows rapidly as you accumulate experience and translate it into greater impact. You can also receive some of your pay in company equity at a discounted price, thus participating in the value creation we achieve together. If relocating to Italy, you may enjoy a 50% tax cut.
