Associate Creative Director, Copywriter

Lume Deodorant • New York, NY

8d • $118,000 - $150,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

We're looking for an ACD, Copywriter who leads with concepts and executes with craft. You'll be the voice partner to the ACD Art Director, design team, and content creation team — concepting campaigns together, pushing ideas to unexpected places, and making sure the work says something as interesting as it looks. This isn't a job where you're handed a brief and told to fill in the tagline. You're in the room when the ideas are forming, shaping both what we say and how we say it.
Neither brand is finished. Both have room to grow, tighten, and get more interesting — and we're looking for someone who sees that as the opportunity, not the problem. If you're drawn to building and evolving rather than maintaining what's already there, this is the right role.
This is a player-coach position. You'll manage two Senior Copywriters and be deeply accountable for their growth — while staying close enough to the work that your own instincts stay sharp. The work spans social, digital, packaging, in-store, and activations across two brands with different audiences. That range is the job.

Requirements

• You think in campaigns, not lines. Your instinct is to find the idea first and solve the copy execution second.
• You care as much about whether the work sells as whether it's beautiful — you understand that brand storytelling and business performance aren't in tension, and you write with both in mind.
• You have a confident, well-developed point of view on how a brand should sound — and you can defend it without being precious about it.
• You're a natural mentor — your feedback is direct, specific, and genuinely improves people's writing, not just their feelings about it.
• You're fluent in social and digital — you understand how copy lives on platforms and how to make writing that feels native, not posted.
• You operate well in ambiguity — you can take a loose brief or an unresolved problem and move it forward without needing all the answers first.
• You build trust with cross-functional partners by showing up prepared, communicating clearly, and following through.

Responsibilities

• Concept original campaign ideas across social, digital, in-store, and activations in close partnership with the ACD Art Director — bringing strong copy thinking and voice strategy to every brief.
• Own the copywriting across all consumer-facing touchpoints: packaging, retail, digital, social, and campaign — with a consistent, evolving brand voice for each brand.
• Manage and develop two Senior Copywriters through structured feedback, regular crits, and documented growth goals that raise the overall level of craft on the team.
• Help define and document the copy voice for both Lumē and Mando as the brands continue to evolve — building guidelines the broader team can use independently.
• Write for and direct video and content production — not as an editor, but as the creative lead ensuring the copy and concept land correctly through production partners.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 401k match
• Equity in Mammoth Brands
• Flexible time off and working hours
• L&D stipend
• 4 weeks sabbatical after 5 years, 6 weeks after 10 years, and 8 weeks after 15 years
• 20 fully paid weeks off for parents who give birth, or 16 fully paid weeks off for all other paths to parenthood
• Fun IRL and virtual events including happy hours, team building events, and parties on our rooftop
• Free products from our family of brands
