Lead Copywriter to define Harvey's brand voice and editorial standards. Own creative concepts, write high-impact copy for campaigns, product launches, website, social, and executive communications while mentoring writers and maintaining consistency across the company.
About the job
What You'll Own
- Harvey's voice, tone, and editorial standards across every customer and employee touchpoint.
- The creative thinking behind campaigns, launches, and brand initiatives, helping shape ideas before a single word is written.
- Copy across the marketing site, campaigns, product launches, social, executive communications, sales enablement, and other strategic brand moments.
- Consistency across an expanding network of marketers, product teams, agencies, and contributors, ensuring Harvey always sounds like one company.
- The continued evolution of Harvey's writing practice as the company scales.
What You'll Do
- Define Harvey's voice from first principles and create practical guidelines the entire company can use.
- Partner closely with Design, Motion, Web, Product Marketing, and company leadership to develop concepts and narratives from the earliest stages of a project.
- Write and edit across a broad range of work, from campaign concepts and product launches to website copy, executive storytelling, sales materials, and social content.
- Push beyond the brief to uncover the idea that makes the work memorable, not simply the message that needs to be communicated.
- Review, edit, and elevate copy from teammates, agencies, and cross-functional partners to maintain a consistently high creative standard.
- Serve as Harvey's internal authority on language, helping teams communicate with greater clarity, confidence, and originality.
- Help establish the foundations of Harvey's copywriting practice and mentor future writers as the team grows.
What You Have
- 8+ years of experience in copywriting, brand storytelling, or creative leadership, ideally across agency, in-house, or high-growth technology environments.
- A portfolio demonstrating exceptional conceptual thinking alongside world-class execution across campaigns, brand, web, product, and launch work.
- A strong point of view on language, voice, and storytelling, with the judgment to know when consistency matters and when the rules should be broken.
- Experience developing creative concepts, not simply executing copy against an existing brief.
- Exceptional editing instincts and the ability to elevate the writing of others through thoughtful, direct feedback.
- Experience mentoring or guiding other writers, even if not through formal people management.
- The ability to navigate ambiguity, influence senior stakeholders, and move comfortably between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
Bonus
- Experience at a high-growth B2B SaaS, AI, or enterprise technology company.
- Experience building or redefining a brand voice from the ground up.
- Experience mentoring writers or helping establish editorial standards and creative processes.
- Familiarity with legal, professional services, or other complex enterprise industries.
