Are you known for your wit? Your obsession with internet culture? Your brilliantly crafted copy? Paradowski is looking for a Copywriter to help us transform a global client’s brands into some of the most buzzworthy, charismatic and socially relevant properties on social media.

About half of your time will be spent on social content – using your storytelling skills to remix user-generated content, brainstorm memes, and write videos designed to entertain – with the rest spent engaging directly with direct messages, comments and proactive opportunities from the community.

Successful candidates will have a passion for pushing the boundaries of social media to reach client goals, collaborating with strategy, creative, and technology colleagues to turn good ideas into great ones. No surprise here, but excellent time management, written and verbal communication skills are a must.

Applicants for this role must live in the greater St. Louis region or be willing to relocate.

What You’ll Do:

Grow our client’s brands' presence and reputation across social channels
Serve as the voice of our client's brands, embodying a consistent character and tone, and understanding when it’s appropriate to adjust to meet specific channel/audience needs
Concept and write memorable social content that aligns with brand messaging and content goals
Quickly identify and act on opportunities for our client’s brands to participate in relevant social trends and respond creatively to current events
Pitch creative ideas internally and to clients
Respond to social media community interactions and proactively engage with brand audiences in a timely manner with smart, well-crafted, compelling copy
Work directly with internal teams to create and implement dynamic approaches to engagement
Escalate content as needed and ensure alerts are properly addressed

Must-Haves:

At least three years of copywriting experience, ideally with examples of comedic writing in your portfolio (or your cover letter).
An ability to think beyond “copy” and conceptually develop new ideas to set our client apart.
A passion for staying on top of emerging trends and sharing that knowledge with colleagues.
Familiarity and experience with social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest and TikTok. It’s okay if your knowledge and love varies platform to platform.
The ability to pick up new tools quickly. This position will require the use of Sprinklr, but we’ll train you on the platform.
The ability to meet deadlines while executing multiple projects.

Nice-to-Haves:

These aren’t deal-breakers – standout writing will take priority above all other requirements – but let us know if any of the following apply to you:

Familiarity with social media management tools such as or similar to Sprinklr, Emplifi, Oktopost, Sprout Social, Hootsuite, etc.
Experience with B2B and B2C social media
Experience with paid social media
Experience with crisis management and engagement escalation, including security and safety concerns
Familiarity with programs like CapCut, Canva, After Effects, Photoshop, or whatever you use to make fun, beautiful, entertaining things (you tell us!). Design isn’t a formal function of this role, but we know that social storytelling often turns great writers into hybrid creators.

Benefits and Perks:

Health & Wellness

Comprehensive health coverage with 8+ medical plan options
Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), and Dependent Care Reimbursement Accounts (DCRA) are available
100% company-paid High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) for employees

Work-Life Balance

Generous PTO with up to 20 days of vacation and 6 sick days to recharge
11 company-paid holidays plus two floating holidays of your choice
Flexible work arrangements with a hybrid model; St. Louis-based employees are currently in the office on Mondays and Wednesdays

Financial Security

401k plan with a 100% match on the first 3%, fully vested after five years
Voluntary, supplemental life insurance, short- and long-term disability coverage, and critical illness coverage

Parental & Family Support

6 weeks of 100% Paid Parental Leave for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child
Additional 6 weeks of 100% Paid Birth and Recovery Leave for the birthing parent
Lactation accommodations and additional support through various leave options like voting leave, jury duty leave, and bereavement leave

And more

There’s much more we offer to support your well-being and success. Let’s discuss when we connect.

To Apply:

Send your resumé, copywriting portfolio, or whatever your version of self-promotion looks like, to jobs@paradowski.com with the subject line “Social Copywriter.”

Selected applicants can expect 1-2 interviews with key Paradowski team members, and may be asked to complete a short, scenario-based writing exercise focused on community engagement and social concepting.
