Copywriter

Copywriter to IKEA Marketing & Communication
What if your work could help make everyday life just a little bit better?
The IKEA vision is to create a better everyday life for the many people – and we’re always searching for new and better ways to do it. We gather insights about life at home, learning about the needs and dreams of people all over the world. And we use our home furnishing knowledge to create products and solutions that will enable more people to live the life they want.
At IKEA Marketing & Communication, we create world-class creative communication based on real needs, and help the IKEA brand reach and inspire more people. Located in Älmhult, Sweden, we’re a melting pot of many different nationalities and cultures – because in order to make things better for the many, we want to involve people from all parts of the world. But of course, we never forget our Swedish roots, which means our workday is sprinkled with words like “tillsammans” and “fika”.
Job Description
We’re looking for a senior-level copywriter to join the Ideation & Design team at IKEA Marketing & Communication. The Ideation & Design team is made up of Copywriters, Art Directors, and UX Designers. We’re a bunch of people-centered creatives, who like to make great stuff but leave our egos at the door. Now we need more like-minded idea generators, critical thinkers, and doers - people who want to understand the everyday problems in people’s lives and use communication to help solve them.
As a copywriter in Ideation & Design, your projects could range from the launch package for a new collection, to conceptualising seasonal campaigns for IKEA.com and social media, to planning and creating content for our corporate site. Depending on the project, you may be expected to play a creative lead role, which means leading other creatives and making sure that the communication is on-brief, strategically on-point and has creative height.
Qualifications
Who you are:
You’re a wordsmith that can master the IKEA brand voice, and adapt it to a variety of topics and channels. You’re comfortable working in – and leading – creative teams and processes, turning strategies and briefs into innovative communication concepts. You’re a skilled presenter and can sell-in your team’s ideas to internal stakeholders.
As an experienced creative, you can juggle multiple projects, manage your own workload, and meet your deadlines. But you’re also willing to lend a hand to other team members and copywriters when needed. Curiosity about people’s everyday lives and needs is a must, and if you also have an interest in sustainability, design, and home furnishing, that’s even better.
What you need:
Native (or near native) English language skills.
Substantial (5+ years) copywriting experience, in-house or at an agency.
A solid portfolio that demonstrates your ability to write clear and clever copy for a variety of subjects and channels.
Digital marketing and advertising experience. Content strategy is a plus.
Up-to-date knowledge of today’s platforms and the multi-channel landscape.
