Staff Marketing Content Designer, Creative (Remote, Americas)

Shopify is a leading global commerce company, providing trusted tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business of any size. We make commerce better for everyone with a platform and services that are engineered for reliability, while delivering a better shopping experience for consumers everywhere. Shopify powers millions of businesses in more than 175 countries and is trusted by brands such as Allbirds, Gymshark, PepsiCo, Staples, and many more.

Millions of people around the world took that daring first step to start a business with Shopify. And we’re looking for a Staff Marketing Content Designer (Copywriter) to help lead our creative team and launch campaigns that inspire the next wave of entrepreneurs.

Responsibilities:

• Take a leading role in the concepting, pitch, and production of breakthrough campaigns.
• Own projects with significant scope, complexity, and responsibility from kickoff to launch (and handle the twist and turns along the way).
• Write for all the channels—social, radio, digital, online video, TV, print, OOH. 
• Guide the work of more junior creatives, oversee agency relationships, and help run point on productions.
• Partner closely with teams across production, media, strategy, product, and research. 
• Be a champion for the craft of advertising copywriting and creative problem solving.

• Your portfolio of work shows that you’ve done it all before…and done it really, really well. Open to both agency and brand-side. Leadership experience preferred. 
• You’re highly strategic, understand how to best approach each channel from a creative and production standpoint, and find crafty ways to get the most out of every campaign. 
• Specifically-speaking, you’re extra savvy on all things social and have created breakthrough work for small screens. 
• You’re comfortable partnering with stakeholders and other department leads at the project planning stages. Timelines. Budgets. Media. Audience. Testing. Asset needs.   
• The facts and figures matter to you. You’re always learning from past work, hunting for new insights, and know how to frame your bright ideas in a strategically-sound way.
• You go far and wide when it’s time to concept. And then sweat the details for rounds and rounds when it’s time to execute. Craft is everything to you. 
• You have superb “front of house” skills—presenting work, facilitating feedback, building consensus, following up. 
• You’ve got plenty of gumption. And perseverance. And drive. That’ll come in handy in this fast and loose environment.
• You’re also a pleasure to work with and enjoy solving creative problems with others.  

Note: You must submit a portfolio of work/work samples to be considered for this role. Please include your portfolio link and any applicable passwords with your application. 

We know that applying to a new role takes a lot of work and we truly value your time. We are looking forward to reading your application.
