Senior Copywriter

WeatherTech • Bolingbrook, IL

5d • Onsite

About The Position

We’re an in-house marketing team that operates at scale: more mediums, more projects, and more creative work published than most writers encounter in a typical role. We’re talking 360 marketing: print, digital, email, video scripts, billboards, social, and more are all on the table. The output is high; the bar is higher.

We’re looking for someone who thinks before they write. Someone who understands why a customer chooses one product over another and knows how to speak to that truth with precision. This role sits at the intersection of creative copywriting and business acumen. The ideal candidate will contribute to WeatherTech’s overall messaging direction together with the creative leadership team.

Candidates without a portfolio will not be considered. Automotive experience will be weighted heavily. Please note that this is an onsite role at our corporate office in Bolingbrook, IL.

Requirements

• 5–7+ years of copywriting experience with a portfolio demonstrating range across mediums
• Client-side or agency background (Required)
• Deep understanding of consumer psychology and purchase-driving behavior (Required)
• Ability to read a brief, ask the right questions, and deliver copy that solves for the objective
• A proactive approach to work culture, you are someone who speaks up without being solicited
• Strong strategic instincts alongside precise execution

• A sharp eye for nuance in tone, audience, and timing
