Who We Are:
Wayfair is home to one of the retail industry’s largest in-house creative agencies. Our in-house creative group is a world-class team comprised of many disciplines – designers, copywriters, stylists, editors, cinematographers, directors, producers, and more. Our work fuels all forms of on-site and off-site marketing and communication with our consumers, from TV to online video to social, email, direct mail, and more.

Perigold, Wayfair’s luxury brand, is seeking two full-time contract (5-6 months) Copywriters to take our rapidly evolving brand to the next level.

What You’ll Do:

  • Under the guidance of the Creative Director, concept and write short- and long-form copy across marketing channels and brand touchpoints, such as omni-channel campaigns, promotions, direct mail, editorial site and email content, and beyond.
  • Champion the brand's voice standards and messaging strategy to drive brand consistency and evolution. We are on a mission to become even stronger, stickier brands with raised awareness and brand affinity. Our words and content are one important part of the puzzle to get us there, and that will be your challenge.
  • Use Wayfair’s wealth of performance metrics and other data (especially customer insights) to guide smarter creative decisions.
  • Live in lockstep with your cross-functional partners.
  • You'll be responsible for maintaining seamless communication, understanding and influencing their priorities and goals, and effectively producing creative that supports (and furthers) those objectives.
  • Engage in thoughtful critiques with creative peers and cross-functional partners, both responding positively to and offering constructive feedback.
  • Do all of the above in a fast-paced environment where deadlines are daily and the volume of work is high. The pace should thrill you, not derail you.

Who You Are:

  • Minimum 3-5 years experience writing for a retail audience (either in-house or at an agency) –or even for a shelter publication (digital or print) with an understanding of marketing principles.
  • Deeply obsessed with home furnishings, interior design, and style, with a sincere interest in the retail industry.
  • Endlessly curious about the customer – their passions, needs, and pain points.
  • An expert collaborator and someone who works well with other writers and designers.
  • Strong ability to articulate your ideas and opinions and self-advocate, with proof points to ground them.
  • Known for your meticulous attention to detail, ability to multitask, and robot-like organizational powers.
