OVERVIEW

We're looking for a part-time Corporate Copywriter to support our Marketing and Communications team with high‑quality, strategic writing across internal and external channels. This role is well‑suited to a seasoned writer who brings strong editorial judgment, exceptional attention to detail, and the ability to translate complex or technical information into clear, compelling, and brand‑aligned content.

Working closely with Creative, Digital, and internal subject‑matter experts, the Corporate Copywriter plays a key role in shaping consistent, confident messaging that reflects our people, projects, culture, and values. The role requires versatility—ranging from corporate communications and digital content to features that showcase employees, events, and organizational initiatives.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Write, edit, and proofread a wide range of content, including internal communications, website copy, social media, email campaigns, and event‑related materials.
• Interpret, synthesize, and refine technical or industry‑specific information into accessible, audience‑appropriate content.
• Develop longer‑form and feature content that highlights people, culture, milestones, and corporate initiatives.
• Collaborate with internal teams, subject matter experts, and regional stakeholders to gather inputs and ensure accuracy.
• Ensure all written materials are clear, consistent, and aligned with established brand voice and standards.
• Support content planning by contributing to writing priorities and content calendars.
• Work closely with designers and digital team members to move content through review, design, and production.
• Incorporate feedback thoughtfully and manage revisions across multiple pieces of work simultaneously.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Demonstrated expertise in professional writing, editing, and proofreading with meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong editorial judgment and the ability to adapt tone and style across audiences and channels.
• Confidence working independently while collaborating with diverse teams and stakeholders.
• Excellent organizational and time‑management skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent requests.
• A proactive, solutions‑oriented approach to keeping content moving in a fast‑paced environment.

EXPERIENCE & BACKGROUND

• Post‑secondary education in Communications, Marketing, Journalism, or a related field.
• Minimum 3 years of professional experience in corporate writing, content development, marketing, or communications.
• Proven experience writing for digital platforms, including websites, internal communications, and social media.
• Familiarity with project management tools (e.g., Monday.com) and basic design tools such as Canva is considered an asset, but not required.

WORK DETAILS

• Part-time: approximately 20 hours per week
• Some flexibility in scheduling, with availability to support ongoing content needs and deadlines.

The expected hourly range for this role $25.00 per hour. The starting salary will be determined based on several factors such as the successful candidate's qualifications, including but not limited to education and experience. Base pay is one component of Black & McDonald's total rewards package.
