POSITION SUMMARY

This PDP Copywriter will develop compelling, brand-relevant product storytelling that lives across various online retail platforms. With an eye for detail and a passion for content writing, this role crafts thoughtful, search-engine-optimized wording that turns prospective e-commerce shoppers into engaged, brand-loyal customers.

If you've ever bought something from Amazon, Walmart.com, or your favorite brand's website, a PDP Copywriter's work helped guide you along the journey. Our ideal candidate has excellent writing and editing skills with a strong command of grammar and spelling, as well as the dependable ability to proofread one's own work and to self-edit where necessary.

PLEASE NOTE: This open role is for our part-time Flex Force bench. As a Flex Force employee, you'll work on a project-by-project basis as needed and have the flexibility to work from home, much like an independent contractor.
