About the Role
Ogilvy loves its creative talent! As a member of the Ogilvy creative team working in our Employee Experience (EX) practice, you’ll collaborate with top-notch designers, writers, strategists, UX/UI experts and all-around innovative thinkers. You’ll become an integral part of the Experience business at Ogilvy, where we create the next generation of experiences for some of the world’s most recognized and respected brands.
What You’ll Do
Our Copy Directors are player/coach roles. They bring a level of proven expertise writing for a wide range of channels for B2B communications. They have an insatiable curiosity and will adopt a deep level of subject matter expertise for their account, acting as equal parts writer and director of copy. They are also known to clients as a team lead who consults on and presents work. Copy Directors lead by example, setting the tone for what an invested team member looks like.
For this particular position, experience writing for the business technology industry is a must, and experience with B2B and field sales enablement is a plus. You’ll need writing samples that show a range of depth, formats and media, great writing chops, and excellent strategic and conceptual thinking. Bring examples of forming long-term client relationships, steering and collaborating with other writers on bodies of work—campaigns, comms and content programs, you name it, we want to see it.
You’ll be a thinker, a doer, a mentee, a mentor. You will research, concept, guide, write and review within your assigned account(s) and project teams. With strategists as partners, you’ll be asked to dive headfirst into the industry and the client’s preferences so you can ensure copy from other writers is on-brand, on-message and on-brief. You will interview client subject matter experts and round out our understanding; and you’ll guide other writers in doing so, too. As a creative leader reporting to a Creative Director, you’ll be encouraged and supported in your own growth, while being asked to develop less experienced team members and look for opportunities for their growth.
Daily, as Copy Director, you’ll safeguard our clients’ brands, ensuring correct voice and tone, while inspiring your writers and the broader creative team to push beyond the expected. You’ll partner with project managers to stay fresh on schedules and the major milestones for your and your team’s projects. Presenting work to clients, you’ll demonstrate your subject matter expertise and a true passion for the work—even the seemingly small stuff, because the little things make the difference. You’ll build on our relationships with each client through positive interpersonal interactions and excellent work. Working with people and teams across Ogilvy, and with our vendors and partners, you’ll represent both Ogilvy and your clients in delivering the best creative possible, consistently, on time and on budget.
What You’ll Need
6+ years experience as a B2B writer or equivalent
2+ years experience as a team lead with accountability for review and stewardship of content
2+ years experience writing for tech-centric clients
2+ years writing sales enablement content such as sales presentations and solution briefs or working directly with field marketing or sales to plan go-to-market content
Samples of writing and work that reflect the above
How We’ll Support You
Ogilvy celebrates its people. Fully. Enthusiastically. Unhesitatingly. We’ll empower you with the tools you’ll need to succeed. We’ll give you the autonomy to seek out new paths and better ways of doing things. We’ll support you with colleagues who are experts in their disciplines, drawn from across the Ogilvy network. And we’ll provide opportunities for you to do work of which you’ll be proud, with people you’ll be proud to call your teammates.
