Who We Are:
Wayfair is home to one of the retail industry’s largest in-house creative agencies. The 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.
The Product Copy team is seeking a copywriter with 1–3 years of professional writing experience to create engaging, clear, and persuasive product description copy for Wayfair’s Exclusive Brands and Specialty Retail Brands (Joss & Main, AllModern, and Birch Lane). The ideal candidate is an amazing writer, analytical thinker, and detail-oriented editor with a passion for home furnishings and decor, who works well in a self-directed environment.
This is a 6-month, 40 hour/week remote opportunity. Ability to work from Wayfair's Boston office in the future is a plus. Applicants will be asked to complete a writing test.
What You’ll Do:
- The majority of your time will be spent writing product descriptions that adhere to each brand’s unique voice and SEO best practices.
- Expected writing output is 150 product descriptions/week, each of which is ~80 words.
- Determine unique selling angles for products based on product class, materials, design/style, and features.
- Review copy from your peers and give insightful and relevant feedback. Be willing to take feedback on your work, incorporate it, and learn from it.
- Collaborate with partners and team leads – maintaining open lines of communication.
- Contribute to team reference documentation and stay up to date on best practices.
- 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 of 1–3 years of professional writing experience.
- Writing experience in e-commerce/retail, product descriptions, and/or SEO preferred.
- Rock-solid writer who can independently write error-free copy.
- Strong proofreading, research, and editing skills.
- Attention to detail and 100% accuracy.
- A proven self-starter who thrives in a positive, team-driven environment.
- Ability to multi-task and manage time effectively required, as writers must manage their own workload to meet constant deadlines.
- Proficiency with the Google suite of applications.
For consideration, you must provide a cover letter detailing your interest and suitability for the role. An online portfolio or samples of your work are also required.
