- A portfolio showcasing exceptional conceptual thinking and world-class execution across campaigns, brand, web, product, and launch work.
- A strong point of view on language, voice, and storytelling, with the judgment to balance consistency and innovation.
- Experience developing creative concepts, not just executing against existing briefs.
- Exceptional editing instincts and the ability to elevate others' writing through feedback.
- Experience mentoring or guiding other writers.
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, influence senior stakeholders, and balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
- Experience at a high-growth B2B SaaS, AI, or enterprise technology company (bonus).
