Senior Copywriter

The Second Renaissance is Here. Come Join Us. 

Our mission has always been to enable creators to do what they love and get paid by the people who love them. Today, there are over 200,000 creators sharing their work on Patreon, earning over $100M per month from more than 7 million patrons across the world. We’re incredibly humbled by the opportunity to help so many creators pursue their dreams and build passionate communities around them. And we’re just getting started.

To kick our mission into high gear, we’ve recently raised a Series F funding round of $155M at a $4B valuation. That's over three times bigger than where we were just six months ago! This is proof of the incredible power and potential of creators, and of building this explosive economy. We’ve been funding the creative class since 2013 and have raised a total of $410M from the following investors: Index Ventures, Thrive Capital, NEA, Lone Pine Capital, Glade Blook, Tiger Global Management, Woodline Partners, CRV and Wellington.

As our Senior Copywriter you’ll be joining a dedicated creative team producing awesome, engaging content that gets creators excited about us. We’re looking for someone who can help build a copywriting team and get their hands dirty across web, social, paid advertising and long-form writing. 

What you will do:

• Write (a lot!) and concept big ideas within established brand guidelines for all mediums, including social, events, content, out-of-home, print, etc.
• Help champion the company's brand identity, tone, and voice both internally and externally 
• Partner with content marketing, social media, events, performance marketing, and creator partnerships to bring our brand voice to life in a non-Frankenstein way.
• Lead the copy conversation with internal partners; edit other people’s work, be a stickler for details.
• Demonstrate creative thought leadership, keeping ahead of trends and providing proactive inspiration and recommendations
• Manage a team of two amazing copywriters 

Skills and experience you possess:

• 5+ years of experience
• A great manager and mentor to other copywriters 
• Varied experience across brand, social, campaigns and everything in between.
• Great attention to detail and good grammar skills, because what’s the point otherwise?

Who You'll Work With:

At Patreon, you'll join a high-performing and highly-empathetic team of people who proudly work on fulfilling our mission of funding the creative class. Our culture of creator-first, thoughtful teammates keeps work creative, stretching, and rewarding.

Our Core Behaviors:

• Put Creators First. Patreon is nothing without our creators. 
• Achieve Ambitious Outcomes. Set, measure, and accomplish goals that deliver massive value to our creators and patrons. 
• Cultivate Inclusion. We want an environment that retains and engages the diverse teams we build.
• Bias Towards Action. When in doubt, we take the next best step, then course correct when needed. We go out of our way to fix problems when we see them. We take ownership seriously.
• Be Candid and Kind. Be extremely caring and extremely direct in all you do at Patreon, especially when it comes to giving positive and constructive feedback. 
• Be Curious. You don’t know it all, and that’s the fun part. Everything gets better when you’re curious. Things get more interesting, more clear, and more approachable. When you bring curiosity into the workplace, you’re growing yourself, your teammates, and Patreon as a whole.
