ABOUT THE JOB 

We’re seeking an experienced Copywriter to help share Anduril’s story as we continue our mission to transform U.S. and allied defense through advanced technology.

You will join a team of driven marketers and work alongside Anduril’s Design, Comms and Business Line teams to deliver clear, compelling copy across campaigns, product naming, social and more. The ideal candidate is a proven writer able to credibly translate the technical and urgent work of Anduril into copy that breaks through. They must bring a proven range of examples across industries with an emphasis on connecting company mission to product capabilities.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Define and document how we sound across social, web, print, and OOH.
• Turn dense engineering, brand moments and partnership activations into copy with a point of view, across headlines, body, manifestos, launch films, and campaign lines.
• Write social copy that cuts through and holds its own on quick turnaround timelines.
• Name new systems, platforms, and capabilities, and maintain the naming architecture in partnership with Product Marketing, Division Leads, Comms, and Design.
• Take a half-formed brief, a technical deep dive, and a room full of opinions, and come back with a strategic position and the words to express it.
• Drive scriptwriting in close partnership with the Anduril Design Dept. to inform treatments for video-driven campaigns.
• Work with Product Marketing, Design, Communications, Government Relations, and Recruiting so the voice stays consistent from a product page to a billboard to a job post.
• Create voice guidelines, messaging frameworks, and reusable copy systems that let other writers and non-writers produce work that sounds like us.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of copywriting experience at a top-tier agency, in-house at a recognized consumer brand, or a combination of both.
• An expansive portfolio showing work for major brands. Work in technical, hard tech, aerospace, or engineering categories is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to translate sophisticated technical subject matter into human copy that hits hard, without diluting the underlying truth, importance, or impact of the technology.
• Range across formats and surfaces: social, long-form, film, OOH, web, and product naming.
• Proven ability to take ambiguity and return strategic clarity, including framing the problem when nobody has framed it for you.
• Self-starter with the judgment to identify what needs writing and go write it, rather than working from a queue.
• Comfort working at speed alongside engineers, designers, and executives, and taking hard feedback on the work.
• Grit.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience writing for defense, aerospace, robotics, semiconductors, or another high-consequence technical category.
• Background that spans both consumer brand building and technical writing, for example agency brand work followed by a deep run in engineering or industrial subject matter.
• Experience building and enforcing a voice or messaging system across a fast-growing organization.
• Product naming experience, including naming architecture for a multi-product portfolio.
• Familiarity with trade compliance and the constraints of writing publicly about defense or sensitive government technology (ITAR/EAR, classification, OPSEC).
• Experience directing or partnering with in-house design and video teams on integrated campaigns.
