Senior Copywriter
Yext (NYSE: YEXT) is building the next big thing in AI search, and the next big thing is answers.
With the explosion of information and data online, search has never been more important. However, while the world of consumer search has innovated over time, enterprise search has not. In fact, the majority of enterprise search is powered by outdated keyword technology that only scans for keywords and delivers a list of hyperlinks rather than actually answering questions. Yext, the AI Search Company, offers a modern, AI-powered Answers Platform that understands natural language so that when people ask questions about a business online they get direct answers – not links.
We have a big, audacious mission to transform the enterprise with AI search. To achieve that, we need bright minds and diverse perspectives to join our growing company and help us continue to disrupt an industry. Does this sound like you?
The Senior Copywriter will play a key role in developing and expanding the Yext brand voice across a number of strategic content initiatives, providing creativity to ensure we stand out and provoke, but also consistency so our core brand message is thread throughout everything we do. From brand and growth advertising campaigns to updates to Yext.com to promoting our Yext Talks platform, we need an experienced professional who can flex across a wide spectrum of initiatives and help Yext shine.
