Senior Marketing Copywriter

Mercari is Your Marketplace. We make it super easy to sell (or buy) almost anything. We all have things we don’t use, never used or simply outgrew. But that stuff still has value. Mercari gives you the power to simply sell it, ship it, and earn some cash for it. Fashion to toys. Sporting goods to electronics. All the brands you know and love. Our mission is simple: to make selling easier than buying. And with 50M+ downloads in the U.S. and 350k+ new listings every day, we're just getting started.

As we begin the next stage in Mercari’s evolution, we’re looking for a Senior Marketing Copywriter who can turn a phrase in any situation – but with a particular knack for short-form copy. Snappy headlines paired with meaning-filled subheads? You’re the person everyone looks to.

In this role, you’ll intertwine business objectives and user journeys into cohesive droplets across the Mercari brand experience. You’ll closely collaborate with cross-functional peers to craft copy that grabs attention from audiences that are inundated with information.

What you’ll do:

• Own copy production and experimentation in short-form marketing channels
• Help evolve a brand voice that’s full of delight, yet clutter-free
• Coordinate and edit work by other teams – both in and out of Mercari
• Distill the behind-the-scenes complexity of promotions into accessible clarity
• Pitch ideas, foster concepts, finalize production, and be active across the process
• Collaborate with a lively array of Mercarians – marketing managers, researchers, designers, other writers, and more

Who you are:

• A creative copywriter who understands business objectives – you balance the flair of wordcraft with the goals of the brief
• A strategic thinker with a curious perspective – the kind of person who finds the better way amid established norms
• An independent voice who utilizes team dynamics – you offer help where you have expertise and seek help where you don’t

What you’ll need:

• 8+ years of experience – focused in copywriting on-site marketing, notifications, and emails
• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a field related to writing or marketing
• Proven results with A/B or multivariate copy testing
• Comfort working within design tools to refine the perfect message
• Experience creating, maintaining, and/or revising brand style guides
• A portfolio of your most effective work
