Ivor Andrew, an integrated marketing agency in Wheaton, Illinois, is hiring a talented B2B copywriter. This is a part-time position that can be done remotely.

Before you apply, please read the Requirements and Good-To-Haves to see if you’re a fit.

Requirements

  1. You’re not just a great writer, but a great B2B copywriter. You know how to talk to your target audience and get them to buy. Which is proven by…
  2. …your impressive portfolio! It’s filled with creative and interesting work, and it shows off your unique voice.
  3. You don’t run screaming from technical projects or assignments that could easily be perceived as boring at first glance. Our specialty at Ivor Andrew is manufacturing, an industry that’s called “fun” only when someone’s cracking a joke. It’s your job to make this stuff fun.

If you did not meet all three of these requirements, please do not apply.

Good-To-Haves

The following items are NOT requirements, but things that might push you to the top of the list.

  1. You can travel to Wheaton (a cozy town about 20 miles west of Chicago) once in a blue moon. As stated earlier, this is a remote job. But some things are best done in person, like when we’re kicking off a massive project and brainstorming initial creative. We can work around it if you can’t get here, but if you can, it’s a massive plus.
  2. You have experience writing copy for manufacturing or a similarly technical industry.
  3. You’re cool with us firing work at you non-stop when everything is on fire, and you’re also cool with us not firing work at you when there’s not as much going on.
  4. You hate La Croix and wonder why people don’t just drink water, which is healthy and free and wonderful.

How To Apply

Email luke@ivorandrew.com and be sure to include your résumé and portfolio. In the subject line, please write the name of the movie that was responsible for your single greatest theater experience. I didn’t say the best movie, but the best experience. The movie that made the entire room feel like it was screaming or laughing or crying together. Put that movie title in the subject line.

Applications that ignore this subject line instruction will be printed and used as toilet paper. Best of luck, and I hope you apply. Let’s be colleagues.
