About Curology

Hi there! We’re Curology, a fast-growing startup on a mission to help everyone feel at home in their skin. Because great skin shouldn’t be a luxury, but a fact of life. We make prescription skincare affordable and accessible online—matching each member with a dermatology provider who creates a custom prescription for their unique needs. We're part telemedicine startup, part skincare lab, and we’re completely focused on helping hundreds of thousands of people access expert care previously available to only a tiny percentage of the population. Check us out on Instagram , Facebook , and/or Glassdoor to learn more about what it's like to work at Curology! We have been certified as a Great Place To Work .

About You

• Strategic. You clearly express the intentions behind your ideas well before words hit the page. You can articulate marketing needs to creatives, and creative decisions to marketers.
• Detail-oriented. You’re an excellent, nitpicky editor who works quickly and has an eye for a wonky comma or strange turn of phrase. You’ll guard the brand ferociously.
• Quantitatively minded. In this senior role you’ll be responsible for making sure that creative projects ultimately meet business needs, helping shepherd the work of other creatives toward that goal. Experience working with metrics is a must.
• Collaborative. You synthesize ideas from many people and bring them back into cohesive brand guidelines.
• Conceptually gifted. Your ideas should help guide not just copy but strategy, concept, and even visual execution.
• Experienced. 4+ years of writing experience is required, and at least 1 year of management or editorial experience.

You Will

• Edit the work of more junior copywriters, monitoring when larger questions arise that should be escalated to the Director of Copy and Editorial, the brand team, legal, etc.
• Be responsible for shaping and maintaining brand voice consistency across many projects, not just your own.
• Help guide more junior creatives with insightful feedback and leadership.
• Write copy seen by millions of people. Banner ads, box design, Snapchat ads, social media, videos, product copy, landing pages, and more.
• Create A/B tests alongside the marketing team, and work to understand creative results.
