About The Position

PMI is looking for a Senior Brand Copywriter who is a strategic creative partner responsible for shaping the language, messaging architecture, and campaign narratives that bring PMI’s brand and product portfolio to life. This role translates audience insight, product value, and business strategy into clear, differentiated, human copy systems across campaigns, launches, web, social, lifecycle, events, enterprise, community, and partner-facing work. This is not a purely executional writing role. The ideal candidate owns the why behind the words: building messaging frameworks, creative platforms, story arcs, and voice guidance that help teams move faster while staying consistent. They are a strong hands-on writer, an audience-obsessed strategist, and a fluent AI collaborator who can direct AI tools, humanize output, and use performance learning to improve messaging over time.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in English, Communications, Marketing, Journalism, Creative Writing, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
7–10+ years of copywriting experience in brand, campaign, product marketing, integrated marketing, agency, or in-house creative environments.
Demonstrated experience leading strategic copy development for major campaigns, brand platforms, product launches, portfolio-level messaging systems, or integrated marketing programs.
Proven experience developing messaging frameworks, audience messaging matrices, brand voice guidelines, product narratives, campaign platforms, or scalable copy systems.
Strong portfolio demonstrating original creative thinking, strategic messaging development, audience-specific copy development, and versatility across channels, audiences, and brand voices.
Experience tailoring messaging across multiple audience types, including consumer, member, community, enterprise/business, partner, regional, and internal audiences.
Hands-on experience using AI tools in creative workflows, with curiosity and practical experience testing ways AI can accelerate ideation, drafting, versioning, refinement, and workflow efficiency.
Experience mentoring writers, guiding cross-functional contributors, reviewing agency work, or providing editorial leadership across teams.
Exceptional copywriting and editing skills, with the ability to develop brand-level ideas, product messaging, campaign language, and high-priority copy.
Strong understanding of brand strategy, positioning, integrated marketing, and audience-led messaging.
Audience-obsessed thinker who can translate customer insight, motivations, barriers, and decision drivers into compelling messaging systems.
Ability to tailor messaging across variety of audiences while maintaining brand consistency.
Ability to turn complex products, ideas, and business priorities into clear, compelling, audience-relevant language.
Ability to build scalable messaging systems, not just individual copy assets.
High fluency with AI-assisted creative workflows, with the curiosity and scrappiness to test new tools, identify practical use cases, and help evolve how copy work gets done.
Strong hands-on writer with the judgment to know when to create foundational language directly and when to build systems that help others execute.
Strategic thinker with strong marketing acumen, creative instincts, editorial judgment, and problem-solving skills.
Strong collaborator who can partner across Creative, Product Marketing, Integrated Campaigns, Lifecycle/CRM, Social, Events, Web, Regional Marketing, Community, Partnerships, Product, Creative Operations, and agency teams.
Comfortable with ambiguity, energized by change, and able to bring structure to complex creative challenges.
Excellent written and verbal communicator.
Fluent in English, PMI’s business language.
