Imagine: 30 unique restaurants to order from, brought to your door in under 30 minutes. That’s what our customers experience.

At Wonder, we want to make world-class food within reach, no matter where you live. That’s why we’ve created a vertically integrated, new standard of dining that will allow you to enjoy menus from award-winning chefs and iconic restaurants across the country, all in one place. Our elevated brick + mortar locations will offer pick up and dine in options, as well as delivery to your home.

As a food-tech startup backed by top-tier venture capitalists and led by a team of experienced entrepreneurs—including some of the most accomplished leaders in the technology, culinary, and logistics industries—we’re growing. Join us in pioneering a new category of dining called “Fast-Fine”, and revolutionizing the way people eat.

As a freelance copywriter working with the Wonder Creative Team, you'll provide written content for our mobile app, web pages, social media posts, marketing campaigns, press releases, and other forms of digital and print content. You’ll write dynamic, sharp headlines that drive users to our app and captivating, efficient copy that educates our customers on our one-of-a-kind food service. Overall, your job will be to engage and motivate our customers through creative concepts and strategies that are insightful and effective. You’ll also work cross-functionally to ensure all our content adheres to Wonder voice guidelines, from events to recruiting and everything in between.

Responsibilities:

Write aspirational but accessible, on-brand copy for a variety of channels, including but not limited to web, direct mail, out of home, organic and paid social, packaging, and email.
Edit copy and drive messaging, considering how copy, imagery, and product come together to convey a story that resonates with our customers and serves our brand priorities.
Manage complex projects with a dynamic roster of cross-functional teams and competing deadlines.
Collaborate with our incredible designers to create compelling content that pushes the Wonder brand.
Confidently present creative concepts to peers and leadership across the organization.
Proofread, line edit, and quality check all outgoing assets to ensure our exacting standards and attention to detail.

Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in English, Journalism, Creative Writing, Communication/Advertising, or a related field.
2–4 years of experience in writing, copywriting, or marketing. Experience writing in brand voice is essential—you’ll often need to switch back and forth among the brand voices of all our 30 restaurant partners.
20–30 hours per week of availability to write, brainstorm, and workshop with our team. We'd like you to be fully integrated into day-to-day operations so you can understand the complexity and fast pace of the business.
Deep knowledge and passion for food, cooking, and restaurants is crucial to your success in this role. Restaurant and/or food brand experience is preferred—you’ll be writing evocative descriptions of food every day.
A nerd-level command of language and grammar. Experience with multiple style guides is a plus. (We use a variation of AP.) Must love the Oxford comma.
Extremely detail oriented and organized, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and strong interpersonal skills.
Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously. We move quickly, change on a dime, and wear many hats.

At Wonder, we believe that to build the best team we must hire using an objective lens. We are committed to fair hiring practices where we hire people for their potential and advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion. As such, we do not discriminate or make decisions based on your race, color, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, age, military service eligibility, veteran status, marital status, disability, or any other protected class.
