Senior Copywriter

EF Adventures is a fast-growing adventure travel brand offering guided group tours for active travelers who want to experience the world differently—think hiking in Patagonia, biking through the Alps, and multi-adventure trips across the globe. We’re building something special and moving quickly, and we’re looking for sharp, ambitious people to help us do it.

The Role          

This is not an execution-only role. We’re looking for a Senior Copywriter who thinks strategically, writes beautifully, and is excited to help build a brand from the ground up. You’ll own the EF Adventures voice across every channel, from high-level campaign strategy to the details of an email subject line or social caption.

On any given day, you might be shaping campaign concepts in a strategy session, writing landing page copy, refining brand messaging, or reviewing creative before it goes live. You’ll move fluidly between big-picture thinking and detail-oriented execution, collaborating closely with a small creative team to bring ideas from concept to launch.

The variety is part of the role. We’re looking for someone energized by a broad range of work, comfortable wearing multiple hats, and excited to help define the voice and creative direction of a growing brand.

All candidates must submit a portfolio to be considered.

Who You Are

• You’ve honed your copywriting craft in an agency environment and know how to move quickly, juggle multiple projects, and deliver great work under pressure.

• You have a point of view and aren’t afraid to bring it to the table.
• You’re energized by adventure travel and understand what moves someone to book a trip to Patagonia or bike through the Alps.
• You’re curious about people: you dig into consumer insights and audience data to understand what moves our travelers, then use that understanding to create work that resonates.
