- You’re a craftsperson who can write with clarity and warmth (a little humor is always welcome, too)

- You’ll be excited to learn what makes our customers tick, and write to their needs in every channel

- Strong conceptual and critical thinking skills
- Deep knowledge of and appreciation for language and the power of words to communicate the essence of a brand and build relationships with customers
- The capacity to think multiple steps ahead, so what you write is compelling in the moment but also furthers the lifelong conversation we’re in with our audience
- A “get it done -- right” mentality, where your natural attention to detail is balanced with a history of delivering high-quality work on deadline
- The ability to collaborate and share ideas, then work autonomously and manage your time and projects
- An eagerness and willingness to accept and apply constructive feedback — we all love learning from each other here

- You’ll play a central role in our customer marketing across digital, email, collateral, out-of-home and more
- You’ll also be joining us at an exciting time as we refine our brand to complement our company’s growth
- Reporting to our Principal Writer, and working alongside Design and Video within the Brand team
- Come to know our personas on both sides of our marketplace — their wants and needs, their fears and frustrations, how to reach them, and what they need to hear
- Understand our brand, our products, and our messaging inside and out, figuring out what we want and need to say, and when and how to say it
- Write short- and long-form copy that is on-brand, concise, persuasive, and action-inspiring — ads that grab attention, landing pages that convert, and emails that people open and read
- Experiment with messaging and prove which words work. Celebrate the wins, learn from the flops, and never stop improving
- Help clarify and evolve our brand voice
- Elevate the quality of writing throughout ezCater
- Learn from -- and teach -- a first-rate team of creative professionals
Our take
ezCater is an online marketplace app that provides catering options for businesses, working with food providers who enter their menus onto the app for customers to browse. ezCater sends each store its orders and handles customer service whilst the food providers fulfill the orders.
ezCater profits by charging a small commission on all orders that restaurants fulfill. The company counts JLL, RingCentral and the San Francisco 49ers among its customers. It previously fuelled expansion through acquisitions such as online catering platform GoCater in 2018 and MonkeySoft Solutions in 2019.
ezCater has enjoyed strong growth so far, in part by focusing on meal deliveries to a growing hybrid workforce as an employee benefit. It has been eyeing an IPO for some time, though these plans are yet to come to fruition. In the meantime, it has continued to develop its technology and unveiled a new supplier diversity program to uplift small businesses owned by underrepresented groups.
