At MyFitnessPal, we believe good health starts with what you eat. We provide the tools and resources to reach your fitness goals. MyFitnessPal is looking for a Lead Marketing Copywriter to join our creative, fun, fast-moving team.

Our ideal copywriter:

• Has experience writing in the nutrition, fitness, or wellness space

• Is a compelling storyteller: Your words will empower people everywhere to engage with our product, content, and community—and feel confident that they, too, can live a happier, healthier life

• Writes conversationally in a way that connects emotionally and personally with users

• Always asks, “what’s in it for our members,” then writes accordingly

• Says more with less, and is a ruthless self-editor

• Thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

What you’ll be doing: 

• Interpret creative briefs and partner with design teammates, marketing managers, and other stakeholders to conceptualize and bring to life everything from one-off assets to full-blown campaigns

• Continually raise the bar on creativity, writing fresh copy that connects with the desired audience and drives action—for email, social, digital media ads, direct mail, video, and in-app messaging and upsell moments

• Consult brand, user, and SEO research to craft effective, targeted, benefit-driven messaging

• Provide copy feedback and guidance to contractors or jr. copywriters as needed

• Stay on top of trends through business/industry monitoring and outside resources

• Craft work that makes the technical feel human and authentic

• Maintain consistent brand voice and style across all touchpoints

• A/B test and tweak copy to increase CTR and conversion

• Live our core values in all you do:

• Be Kind and Care

• Live Good Health

• Be Data-Inspired

• Champion Change

• Leave it Better than You Found It

• Make It Happen

Qualifications to be successful in this role: 

• An online portfolio of stellar writing samples (must include social media)

• 5+ years of brand or agency copywriting experience, preferably in consumer digital marketing

• Degree in writing, English, journalism, communication, information design, or related

• Strategic, on-your-feet thinker who likes to solve problems, even when they aren’t fully defined

• Proactive communicator who thrives on a team, but works well solo

• Confident presenter who can effectively sell your work and rationale to stakeholders

• Eager to share ideas and solicit feedback from teammates, clients, and MyFitnessPal members

• Experience working within diverse cross-functional teams, including design, legal, product, and customer support

• Master multitasker who delivers high-quality copy on time, every time

• Demonstrate a continuous effort to improve operations, processes, and efficiency

• Strong interest in understanding the MyFitnessPal brand, our members, and their motivations

Note: To be considered, you must provide a link to an online portfolio with stellar writing samples including social media ((please include password)
