You're a Senior Writer

You know the difference between ?there?, ?their?, and ?they're?. You know when it's ?its? and when it's ?it's?. You know that "a lot" is two words and that its meaning is different from "allot". But above all, you love to write-and you know the details matter.

You are one half of a creative team, developing original ideas and seeing them through from sketch to execution. You present with confidence and clarity, building trust with clients and showing them what's possible when great strategy meets bold creative thinking.

You're a collaborator. You share ideas, build on others', and help create a culture where fearless thinking thrives. You give and receive feedback with honesty and respect. You know creativity isn't built on ego-it's built on generosity and ambition.

You're someone who sweats the details, and it shows. You take pride in the work, and if an idea isn't strong enough, you can't help but keep pushing. Awards may not be the reason we do the work-but we should always make the work award-worthy.

Here, you're part of a collective. No silos. No borders. We win together, learn together, and push each other further.

What are your responsibilities?

You bring ideas to life in every medium: digital, social, film, print, and beyond. You can shift from long-form storytelling to scroll-stopping headlines. You stay on top of cultural and marketing trends, not to follow them, but to push brands into new, unexpected territory.

You're a natural collaborator. You work seamlessly with strategists, business leads, art directors, and makers to build ideas that are both bold and beautifully executed. You lead by example, mentoring future talent and guiding teams to create work that meets the highest standard.

You keep your cool under pressure. Managing multiple clients, multiple time zones, multiple deadlines without losing focus or craft. Details matter to you, whether it's a client presentation, an RFP, or final touches before delivery.

You know that great creative doesn't happen in a vacuum. You communicate clearly, listen closely and earn the trust of teams and clients by showing them what's possible when ideas are pushed to their best.

What kind of background should I have?

In addition to those required of all our senior creatives, you will need:

• 6+ years as a copywriter creating, strategically driven, award-worthy work
• A leadership style built on lifting others up and helping them succeed
• A knack for collaborating with anyone who can make the idea stronger
• A portfolio that shows your range, craft, and originality
• The confidence to stand in front of clients or colleagues and present ideas with clarity and conviction
• And most importantly, a genuine love for solving problems creatively

 

What type of person should I be?

You will be:

• A leader, a coach, and a mentor
• Patient and tactful, but unafraid to push the work
• Nurturing, while holding the bar at its highest
• Generous with your time and your ideas
• And, ready to help grow the ChangeMakers name in Canada
