Are you a brilliant writer with outsized ambition who dreams of changing the world? Are you tired of phoning in copy that sinks without a ripple, and longing to build a legacy? Are you ready to experience real branding, marketing, and communications at the heart of the next great tech revolution? Want to work alongside a group of the most awesome, talented, funny, and brilliant folks you’ll ever meet?
Come work as a staff writer for ZocDoc! We’re blowing up the startup world, moving at the speed of light, and powering social good with web 2.0 virtuosity.
What you need:
| - | An utter and absolute mastery of the English language. Be able to write and edit better than anyone you know. Be the sort of person who uses semicolons in your text messages. Have an opinion about serial commas. |
| - | The hunger to be part of something huge. We need someone who can step up into a leadership role, work with all kinds of colleagues, and build a brand as it grows explosively. |
| - | Profound attention to detail; the ability to multitask and stay highly organized in an extremely demanding environment. |
| - | Strong marketing savvy and scientific curiosity. Be excited about deploying new projects and analyzing your results. |
| - | A portfolio that speaks for itself. Experience with UX copy, ad copy, and brand copy is a major plus. |
What you’ll do:
| - | Compose and edit (obviously!) beautiful copy. You’ll be in a crucial support role and work with everyone – salespeople, doctors, advertisers, executives, and more. Be great at helping people figure out what they want to say, then helping them say it. |
| - | Pilot your own projects and care about results. This is a bleeding-edge environment where staff-power is the only limit. You’ll wear tons of hats, and there will never be a shortage of initiatives for you to take. |
| - | Develop our blog. We have an incredible wealth of content; now we need someone to curate it and show the world who we are. |
What we offer:
| - | A once-in-a-lifetime experience on the ground floor of the next big thing. |
| - | Ridiculous perks. Think free, daily catered lunches, a beautiful, sunlit work environment in SoHo, arcade games, and hammocks. |
| - | Autonomy! This is a nimble, anti-bureaucratic environment where today’s concept is tomorrow’s strategy. |
| - | An incredible growth opportunity. We’re growing fast and we need leaders. |
| - | Great compensation (naturally) and gold-plated benefits. |
To apply, please submit:
| - | A cover letter and resume. |
| - | A sample of your portfolio. |
| - | A paragraph revealing your passion for grammar. Bonus points if it was a source of discomfiture for your friends or family. |
| - | A paragraph describing the best marketing copy you’ve seen in the last year. |
