ROLE OVERVIEW

Love turning things on their head? Coming up with the unexpected and challenging yourself and others to dream bigger and think differently? Well, here’s your chance.

We’re looking for a Senior Copywriter who can do all of that. As Senior Copywriter, you’ll have the opportunity to be on a team that pushes boundaries, and champions out-of-the-box thinking. Responsible for crafting program concepts that drive engagement, you’ll be working with an all-inclusive, extremely talented group that cares about producing effective, head-turning creative almost as much as they care about other people.

Fearless, passionate and imaginative, you’ll push the boundaries of strategic storytelling, marketing and concept creation — creating best-in-class experiences that build stronger human connections.

 

Responsibilities:

You are a dynamic writer, a designer of language. Keen on relentlessly pursuing big ideas that defy convention with every syllable, you excel at concepting and crafting copy that is not only engaging, but connects with consumers and invokes emotion. You are a conceptual thinker who lives for discovering the witty phrase that sums it all up, able to take an idea and build it all the way through from initial conception and brainstorms, to client presentations and final launch.

 

  • Partner with internal teams to create powerful and compelling concepts that align with strategic copy direction and brand parameters
  • Confidently present fresh perspective and big idea thinking (that’s strategically grounded) to a larger group or to our clients
  • Develop and maintain a solid understanding and working knowledge of client's business, brand, consumer, and competitive landscape to inform insightful brand engagements
  • Build, develop and create brand guidelines that help define the voice and tone of the brand and other brand products
  • Craft and adapt ideas that reach people authentically using emotional intelligence and culturally-forward diverse trends and insights
  • Present creative concepts internally and externally - while backing them up - with powerful rationale
  • Help lead and mentor junior talent to ensure projects remain on task and on strategy

 

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

  • 4+ years of creative copy/concept experience in an agency or brand space; exp. working within the financial space or with financial institutions or launching financial products a big plus
  • Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills with a positive and team-focused mentality
  • Experience in digital copywriting and guiding the user through an experience with directional, yet engaging copy
  • Experience writing scripts for tv and/or online video, podcasts, radio, etc. and knowledge of the production, casting and execution.

An Insider's view of tms

How would you describe the company’s work-life balance?

tms offers employees incredible flexibility. We all work hard to drive results, but our personal lives and passions are just as important as what we do online and at the office. Employees are encouraged to have schedules that work for them, to tune in remotely when needed, and to find time to do what they love in and out of the office.

What are tms Perks + Benefits

tms Benefits Overview

As a people-first organization, it’s important that our employees have the support they need to be successful. That begins with our comprehensive benefits program, immediately effective the first day of hire. Our medical plans are all PPO’s, offering a wide variety of higher and lower deductible plans. Employees can choose between two dental plans, and we offer vision too. On top of the benefits you’d expect, we have more unique offerings: pet insurance, organ donor leave, extended parental leave, adoption leave, legal insurance, and auto/home insurance. We also cover life insurance and AD&D at not just one times the employee’s annual salary but twice.

Employees have access to a LifeWorks wellness program. Those who participate receive points for healthy activities that can be redeemed for gift cards. That same membership includes other perks too, like discounts with popular retailers, airlines, hotel chains, etc. Also in support of employees’ wellbeing, we provide access to an onsite gym at our Chicago office and to ClassPass discounted rates. In addition to ClassPass’ library of always-on digital content, employees can book fitness classes or wellness and self-care appointments at nearby spas. And because we believe physical and mental health are equally important, we make sure our people have access to an EAP program, which facilitates the support each individual needs.

Beyond our benefits, our Hybrid Work Policy enables flexibility. Each employee can choose to work from the office or from home when they need to and work with their teams to set their own working hours. To encourage work-life-balance, we also instate office-wide Sunshine Hours from May to the end of September.

Other perks include a bonus for employees who refer new hires; an annual bonus and salary increase dependent on company and employee performance; a traditional 401(k) plan with an employer match; annual profit sharing; tuition reimbursement; and student loan repayment support.
