  • Consult with marketing representatives and subject matter experts to gather project requirements, including tone, style, audience, and length of copy

  • Manage incoming project requests through Microsoft Planner, coordinating directly with internal customers to clarify scope and expectations

  • Translate project briefs into polished, on-brand copy and prepare final content in Adobe tools for submission to the design team

  • Serve as a key point of contact for the design team, answering questions and providing guidance throughout the production process

  • Proof and review all materials to ensure they meet established quality, brand, and compliance standards before final delivery

  • Edit and rewrite copy quickly in response to feedback, revisions, or changing requirements

  • Demonstrate creativity and the ability to adapt language, voice, and tone based on audience, product, and communication channel

  • Write accurately and clearly about quantitative program information, including energy savings figures, rebate amounts, and related program benefits

  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously while meeting tight deadlines without sacrificing quality

  • Participate in weekly team meetings and contribute to a collaborative, solutions-oriented team culture


Skills

  • Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading skills with a strong command of grammar, style, and tone

  • Ability to vary voice and messaging effectively across audiences, products, and communication mediums

  • Comfort working with numerical data and translating figures into clear, reader-friendly copy

  • Familiarity with basic marketing communications metrics and success indicators across channels such as email, digital, and print

  • Strong project management and organizational skills with the ability to prioritize and manage competing deadlines

  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools including Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel, Teams, SharePoint, Planner, and Tasks

  • Working knowledge of Adobe tools as used in a marketing production environment

  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills for effective collaboration with internal clients and cross-functional teams

  • Attention to detail and commitment to delivering polished, standards-compliant materials


Experience

  • 5 to 10 years of professional experience in communications, copywriting, content development, or a closely related field

  • Demonstrated experience developing content for marketing or communications programs, not limited to business or administrative communications roles

  • Experience managing multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

  • Prior experience working within a structured content review and production workflow is strongly preferred


Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Journalism, Communications, English, or a related field required


This is a fantastic opportunity for a seasoned communications professional to do meaningful, high-impact work supporting energy efficiency programs that benefit real customers and communities.
