Copywriter

  • Full-time

Company Description

Huckberry is an independent online retailer and magazine for those who love adventure. We're a team of 70ish based in San Francisco, California with offices in Columbus, Ohio.

Over a million young, active professionals trust us as their leading resource for emerging brands, gear, and lifestyle inspiration.

We're independent, profitable and proud (read our story here: Bit.ly/TheHuckberryStory), and have been called "the future of eCommerce for guys." We look forward to meeting you.

Job Description

We endeavor to build the most inspiring, creative, and profitable company in eCommerce, and we're looking for someone who can turn a phrase to join our copywriting team here in San Francisco. 

Huckberry is an entrepreneurial place, and you'll wear many different hats, but your primary job will be to work with our buyers and design-production teams to bring the stories of the brands we feature to life on our shop pages, product pages, and in our industry-leading emails. 

We want someone with a strong POV that can serve up sharp and powerful writing that inspires action. 

You'll love it here if you:

  • Are into cool, emerging brands — think the "next Patagonia"
  • Can geek out over men's style AND outdoor gear
  • Thrive when juggling multiple projects at once — since we launch new sales each day, our office feels more like a newspaper room than a magazine room
  • Can work collaboratively with our buyers and design-production teams to bring brand stories and products to life
  • Know that simplicity is the end result of long, hard work — not the starting point
  • Have a growth-mindset: copywriting is simply story-telling with a scoreboard; you can sharpen your craft by learning basic consumer psychology and embracing the scientific method (e.g. A/B testing)

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 1 year+ of copywriting experience — agency experience a big plus
  • At least a cursory of knowledge of best SEO practices
  • Working knowledge of HTML and its importance for SEO
  • Highly detail-oriented and organized

  • Expert in editing, grammar and proofreading techniques

  • Upload your resume
  • Connect us to your LinkedIn profile
  • If you're active on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, we'd love a link to your accounts so we can get a sense of your digital presence and interests

  • Link us to your writing / copywriting portfolio

* Hey guys, Andy — Huckberry co-founder — here. I honestly wish I could reply to each and every one of you, but we're starting to receive an ungodly amount of applications, and carpal tunnel syndrome runs in my family. So if you don't hear back from me, please don't take it personally. We're growing like a weed and will be hiring for a bunch more positions in the near future.
