Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience as a copywriter, editor or related writing-intensive position, ideally with experience writing for a product, marketing or brand team
- Familiarity with adapting your writing style to a range of formats and purposes, including sales decks, product documentation, display ads, social media posts and email communications
- The ability to work cleanly and quickly in a deadline-driven environment
- Experience recruiting, assigning and managing other writers and editors, especially in a freelance capacity
- A working knowledge of editorial and content calendars: building them, managing them, knowing how to pivot them on the fly when something falls through, etc
- Top-notch proofreading skills and a borderline obsession with English grammar and usage: punctuation, syntax, capitalization, not just a preference for whether to use the Oxford comma but a well-reasoned argument for why you feel that way, etc
- Strategic thinking and strong problem-solving skills
- Exceptional attention to detail, complemented by strong organizational and prioritization skills
- A passion for building strong relationships with stakeholders, industry experts and partners in order to lead, define, represent and communicate our product and company vision
What the job involves
- As Senior Copywriter at FEVO, you will help ensure that an inimitable brand voice is present across every piece of content we distribute to the world, from business decks and social media posts to client training materials and case studies to the screens that clients and consumers encounter when using our product
- You will work alongside a talented team of marketers, writers and designers to help define and establish a brand that will transform the way people shop online
- Your day-to-day will include copywriting and editing across a panoply of digital and printed materials in support of FEVO’s marketing, sales and product teams
- You will act as an advocate for our various constituents (clients, consumers, investors, curious internet users), translating the sometimes onerous world of e-commerce solutions into something digestible, human and relatable
- Build a resonant and identifiable brand voice: You’ll help to ensure that every piece of content FEVO produces — from the copy on a CTA button to our biggest keynote presentation of the year — has a consistent tone, style and point of view
- Take on any copy-editing task: Press releases, sales decks, product copy, ads, social posts, employee bios, client communications, case studies, blog headlines, HR materials … when someone at the company needs copy proofed, we’re sending them your way
- Write clever, concise and compelling copy for a range of use cases: You’ll be the resident bard and storyteller for a number of other internal departments, embellishing their messaging with wit and character whenever possible
- Hit deadlines … and over communicate if and when they are unreasonable. Knowing which tasks to prioritize (and raising your hand if you don’t) is a key part of this role
- Manage people and processes effectively: You’ll contribute to the maintenance of our content calendar across both brand and product marketing needs. At times, you’ll manage editorial processes from start to finish, liaising with any key stakeholders to get necessary approvals before publication
- Recruit editorial talent: In the medium- to long-term and budget-permitting, we may need additional editorial talent to execute some projects. You should bring with you a nose for finding freelance or full-time editorial talent and the ability to both onboard and manage that talent when called upon
- Give feedback confidently and take feedback humbly: We don’t expect you to teach your teammates how to write better, but we do expect you to advise them on how to make your job and attendant workflows run at max efficiency
- Champion an audience-centric approach: You’ll prize the needs and desires of our various audiences (clients, consumers, etc.) above all, ensuring that every piece of copy they read is clear and coherent
Our take
FEVO is dedicated to making eCommerce more rooted in community. It offers customers a platform to which they invite their friends so they can purchase together. By marrying eCommerce with social media, the ticket-purchasing experience becomes more collaborative, fun and easy for customers whilst enabling brands to retrieve data to help build their own social graphs and identify valuable customers.
Since its fruition in 2016, FEVO has encountered other players in the field, including nhl.com and f1miamigp.com, but has quickly become the market leader in live events, most prominently sports. It has accrued over 600 partners, including Ticketmaster and Pacciolan, and almost 90% market share, seeing the revenue growth accelerate year-on-year.
FEVO is now expanding into retail and travel eCommerce. In 2022 it partnered with HotelPlanner, a collaboration that furthers FEVO’s goal of offering an end-to-end itinerary for customers. Alongside product expansion, FEVO has ambitious aims to expand geographically through partnerships, most notably with GoogleCloud, with current movement in the UK market.
