About AGO

Article Group.Org (AGO) is an innovative non-profit accelerator that provides creative, strategy and technology solutions to nonprofits focused on human rights and social justice. Our mission is to connect top talent from the marketing, design, consulting and tech worlds to the world’s most vexing and persistent problems. We are a small organization based in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, with a wide network of partners in South East Asia.

About the Role

We are seeking a full time Senior Writer to help with this mission. The focus will initially be on creating content for AGO and select non-profit clients, but our work is wide-ranging and we need someone who is versatile and excited to switch from long-form editorial, to UX writing, ‘big idea’ concepting, to messaging and marketing copy, often in the same day. The ideal candidate is innately curious about complex subject matter impacting people and our planet today, and feels comfortable navigating a fast-paced work environment with multiple stakeholders. This person will report to our Content Strategy Lead. 

Core responsibilities:

• Be a passionate advocate for racial justice, social justice and human rights worldwide.
• Write content for digital channels that can further the missions of our non-profit clients and AGO.
• Be a generalist who can provide copy for editorial, long- and short-form web copy, interactive experiences, social, marketing copy, PR, presentations, etc.
• Help define AGO’s voice and tone in collaboration with Content Strategy Lead and AGO Leadership
• Collaborate with strategy, creative, engagement, development and subject-matter experts
• Have an opinion!  Bring thoughtful rationales and recommendations for the creative options you present. 
• Help create a process for creating content. 
• Celebrate diversity in thinking, cultural understanding and empathy.

Requirements

Your experience:

• 8+ years as a professional writer focused on content, editorial and/or marketing. 
• A varied and compelling portfolio of work that you played a significant role in creating.
• Life-long curiosity and a desire to learn.
• Ability to process and analyze complex information on behalf of clients.
• Self-directed and entrepreneurial.

This is a position in digital content/copywriting for a non-profit (501-c3) creative agency. We offer competitive salaries and a comprehensive benefits package including health, vision and dental insurance, a 403(b) plan, a yearly individual L&D budget, and unlimited PTO.

Our offices are located in Los Angeles and Brooklyn, and this will be an inhouse position once workplaces reopen. Although we could make an exception for an exceptional candidate, this is not a remote position.

We’re interested in candidates who are passionate about our mission. We realize those candidates may come from the world of technology, creative agency, consultancy, startups, or philanthropy—and thus use different terminology, or have different skills. Frankly, we think attracting a variety of applicants is great! If you’re on the fence about whether to apply, go for it!  We’d love to meet you.
