About R/GA
R/GA is a global digital innovation agency specializing in digital product development, brand transformation, media, and communications for major companies. We are on a mission to help companies grow by enabling them to change, across their business, the experience they offer and the campaigns that take them to market.

Our work tends to be a fusion of what we call Stories and Systems: the narrative and the design, technology and the interface working together. R/GA is a brand but it's also a collective of atypical outsiders and misfits who drive everything we do through bold creativity and bright, strategic thinking.

About the role
R/GA are on the hunt for a future focused creative leader who can deliver world-class work that pushes the boundaries of creativity. You're fluent in concepting and collaborating and have mastered the art of writing in multiple styles for various channels. You're big on big ideas and comfortable selling your work, copy and concepts to clients at all levels. You're passionate about growing the next generation of creative talent and confidently lead teams to do the best work of their careers. You're endlessly curious and inventive. Your concepts and executions are fresh, unexpected, strategic, and always on brand.

Our copywriters think for themselves, think for others, think for our clients and most importantly, think digitally. Think about how people are interacting with new technology, from mobile devices to virtual assistants, and find new ways for people to play with our brands. Daily requirements can range from high-level thinking like concepting for campaigns, to the granular thinking behind microcopy on every single page of a website.

A Senior Copywriter may be the only writer on a project, may be supervising a junior writer, or may be working side by side with other writers.
