The Role

This is a full-time, in-house copywriting position embedded within the Creative and Marketing team. You will be the primary voice across all written brand touchpoints, working closely with Creative, Marketing, and PR to produce copy that is precise, elevated, and unmistakably Jacob & Co.

You will report to the Director of Creative Marketing and collaborate directly with senior leadership, including the CEO/Founder, on tone-sensitive communications and brand-defining content.

About Jacob & Co.

Jacob & Co. is a New York-based luxury house renowned for its extraordinary timepieces and high jewelry. Founded by Jacob Arabo, the brand has built a singular identity at the intersection of horology, gem-setting craftsmanship, and cultural influence. From the Five Time Zone to the Astronomia, Jacob & Co. watches are worn by a global clientele that expects the exceptional as a baseline.

We are looking for a Content Writer who understands what it means to speak for a brand of this caliber — and who can bring that understanding to every caption, headline, and press release they produce.

This is a full-time, and onsite position.

Salary starts at $125K

A portfolio that demonstrates genuine range: social captions, long-form narrative, press materials, and scripted content
Exceptional command of voice — you can write for a brand, a founder, and a press release in the same week and make each one sound right
Deep familiarity with luxury brand standards: restraint, specificity, and craft-forward storytelling
Comfortable working at speed across multiple workstreams without compromising quality
Highly collaborative — you will work cross-functionally with Creative, Marketing, PR, and external partners daily
Strong editorial instincts and a sharp eye for when a single word is wrong
Fluency in French is a plus, not a requirement

What We Are Not Looking For

We are not looking for someone who defaults to flowery language, overwrites to fill space, or relies on superlatives. Jacob & Co. copy earns its impact through precision. If your instinct is to reach for a thesaurus when a simpler word would do the job, this is not the right fit.

You Will Work Across

Watch and jewelry launches — from teaser through post-launch editorial
Global brand ambassador partnerships (activations, announcements, social content)
High-profile cultural and sports collaborations
CEO personal brand and public-facing communications
Exclusive client events, VVIP communications, and brand experiences
Lifestyle and real estate brand extensions
