Head of Communications & Creative Writing

Location: Los Angeles, California (on-site)

PragerU is the world's leading conservative nonprofit that is focused on changing minds through the creative use of digital media. Taking full advantage of today's technology and social media, we educate millions of Americans and young people about the values that make America great. We’re proud to be voted among the “Best Place to Work in Los Angeles” by the LA Business Journal 3 years in a row.

We’re looking for a talented and creative writer with strong concepting skills to join our team and report directly to our CMO. This role is all about leveling up our creative work across the board—crafting content that resonates with audiences from ages 4 to 104. You’ll be hands-on with writing while also guiding and managing a team to bring big ideas to life. If you’re a natural storyteller who loves shaping narratives and making an impact, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Duties and Responsibilities:

• Concept, write, and edit high-quality copy for a wide range of internal marketing needs, including website descriptions, mobile app copy, ad campaigns, PR materials, petitions, email journeys, direct mail, video titles and descriptions, social media captions, and fundraising materials.
• Proofread and refine copy created by team members to ensure accuracy, consistency, and alignment with our brand voice and strategy.
• Adapt messaging to seamlessly target both our Kids and general (Grown-Up) audiences while maintaining a cohesive brand voice.
• Create talking points and narrative for external ad partners and influencer campaigns.
• Work on creative concepting for ideas ranging from company social media campaigns to presenter/talent appearances (i.e. how best to leverage their appearance).

Successful Candidates Will Possess:

• 10 years of experience in copywriting and the creative field, with staff management abilities.
• Extensive understanding of our digital media landscape and conservative-focused content.
• Impeccable writing skills and proof/copyediting skills.
• Passion for social media and good understanding of key trends.
• Able to self-motivate, hold yourself accountable and no ego (every idea doesn’t get picked up).
• Exceptional creative writing skills with a focus on donor-targeted and fundraising content. Our donors span all ages/generations, and our Kids content specifically targets parents of elementary, middle and high school-aged students.
• Your copy flows like a symphony, masterfully changing hearts and minds while connecting deeply with different audiences.
