- Collaborate with designers, strategists, account managers and other creative team members.
- Research subjects, competitors, cultural trends and audience behaviour when required.
- Edit and proofread content while maintaining strong standards of language, accuracy and consistency.
- Use generative AI for research, ideation, exploration and creative development while critically evaluating and improving its output.
- Manage multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining writing quality.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Exceptional command of written English.
- Strong grammar, vocabulary, storytelling and sense of tone.
- 5+ years of professional writing experience preferred in advertising, digital media, publishing, journalism, entertainment or branded content.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating versatility across formats.

- Ability to move comfortably between advertising copy and longer narrative writing.
- Strong conceptual and creative thinking.
- Curiosity and willingness to research unfamiliar subjects.
- Good communication and collaboration skills.
- Attention to detail and willingness to rewrite and improve work.
- A proactive approach and the confidence to suggest better creative directions when required.
- Practical understanding of generative AI tools and how they can support a professional creative workflow.
Formal qualifications in English, Journalism, Mass Communication, Advertising or related fields are welcome, but the quality of your writing and portfolio will matter more than your degree.
GOOD TO HAVE
- Advertising or creative agency experience.
- Experience with regional or national brands.
- Exposure to government, PSU or institutional communication.
- Experience with scripts, publishing, comics, graphic novels or another long-form storytelling.
