Company mission
To celebrate, empower and serve those who serve others.
Role
Who you are
- We’re truly obsessed with serving Healthcare Professionals (aka Awesome Humans), and the right candidate will be, too
- If you’ve been at this for a minute, maybe job descriptions with the words “rockstar” and “ninja” make you want to gouge your eyes out. We think that’s a great place to start this conversation
- You’re a Writer (with a capital W) who has opinions about the Oxford comma and em dashes
- You’re culture-obsessed (bonus points if you love The Pitt) and are wildly self-motivated, a brilliant collaborator, and suuuper detail-oriented
- Bachelor’s degree, preferably with a degree in English, Communications, or Journalism
- 4+ years of copywriting experience in an agency or in-house for a brand
- An interest in fashion
- A background in copywriting and content production
- You’re what others would describe as “very online”
- Familiarity with SEO best practices
- You’ve got a sense of humor (or three)
- You’re excellent at problem-solving on your own, but not afraid to ask questions when you need to
- You love a fast-paced environment (like…really fast paced)
- You’re looking for a company you can grow with
- You love a company with a real purpose that stands by its values
- You’re 100% Awesome. Just like our scrubs
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Copywriter who wants to join one of the most ambitious, hard-working brand teams out there
- Day to day, you’ll be writing and editing copy for assets on a global scale—think scripts, ads, emails, OOH, and more
- You’ll also be in the details—sweating over the small things like ensuring that every product description page is accurate, typos are a thing of the past, and that subject lines are so dialed in that the “mark as read” button doesn’t stand a chance
- This role reports directly to the Narrative Director
- Compose branded content that fits within creative briefs for campaigns and product launches
- Ensure copy is aligned with the brand’s 100% Awesome tone of voice within content deliverables, and leverage web analytics, customer insights, and user feedback to ensure that what we’re writing matters
- Partner with designers, producers, and project managers to align copy with visuals and ensure deliverables hit the brief
- Collaborate and craft copy for all sorts of assets. One day you’ll be writing a suite of product descriptions, the next you’ll be writing bespoke podcast ads to better connect with Awesome Humans
Application process
- Please note that submitting work samples / portfolio is a mandatory part of the application process
Our take
FIGS is a lifestyle and apparel brand dedicated to providing durable, comfortable, and stylish products for healthcare professionals. Operating on a direct-to-consumer model, FIGS ensures a streamlined connection with its audience.
FIGS' unique selling proposition lies in its Technical Comfort™, featured in its range of antimicrobial, elastic scrubs and uniforms with functional pockets. Inspired by a co-founder's friend, FIGS addresses the discomfort of traditional uniforms and the demanding hours of healthcare professionals. With around 20 million healthcare professionals in the US, FIGS has a significant potential market. However, the economic climate has led to a downturn in purchases despite customer loyalty.
In a strategic move, FIGS partnered with the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee to outfit Team USA healthcare professionals. This partnership, which includes a limited-edition collection for the Paris 2024 Games, underscores FIGS' commitment to supporting healthcare workers on a global stage.
