Edelman is looking for a Temporary Senior Copywriter to help create work that earns attention and inspires conversation. Our growing creative teams partner with some of the world's most iconic brands to develop ideas that resonate across culture, social media, earned media, and brand experiences. We're looking for a strong writer and conceptual thinker who can help bring those ideas to life for one of our leading beauty clients.
What kind of creative work will you do? We're glad you asked. At Edelman, there is no "standard" creative brief. One day you might be concepting a social-first campaign rooted in a cultural insight.

To land this gig, you need a passion for storytelling, collaboration, and solving creative challenges. Our culture is what sets us apart from traditional agencies. At Edelman, our greatest asset is our people—with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and ideas. We support one another, challenge each other respectfully, and are looking for someone who will contribute positively to our creative culture while delivering exceptional work for our clients.
