Job Description Summary:
The Head of copy and Voice role is a critical, new role at PayPal that will lead the evolution of the PayPal brand and be responsible for driving the delivery of world class creative and content in partnership with the Head of Brand and Creative to support a high velocity, full funnel marketing program. Today is truly transformational time to join PayPal's Marketing function.
Job Description:
You will be responsible for creating and guiding the ideas and words that bring our brand and products to life. Working closely with our team of designers, marketers, fellow copywriters and designers you will add personality, wit and an undeniable PayPal-ness to everything we put out into to the world (and in our office). You will be responsible for the verbal identity of the brand and the quality and consistency of our copy across all touch points while mentoring in-house and freelance copywriters.
What you'll do
Manage, lead, and inspire a team of copywriters
Oversee, edit, and occasionally write copy for all touch points -- brand campaigns to major shopping holidays, email marketing to direct mail pieces, Instagram stories to digital advertising, product launches and descriptions to online video (and beyond). The copy purview of this role is broad and requires the ability to pivot seamlessly between micro- and macro-level views, and direct others to do the same.
Develop and maintain the brand's voice standards and messaging strategy to drive brand consistency and evolution. We are on a mission to become an even stronger, stickier brand with raised engagement and brand affinity.

Live in lockstep with your cross-functional partners. You'll be responsible for maintaining seamless communication, understanding and influencing their priorities and goals, and effectively translating creative strategy when required.
Do all of the above in a fast-paced environment where deadlines are daily and the volume of work is high. Pace should thrill you, not derail you.
Understand the strategy and business context, and always aim to do work that performs. Use PayPal's wealth of performance metrics and other data (especially customer insights) to guide smarter creative decisions. You will be expected to use data as a key input for your team's work, and also to understand when data might be getting in the way of elevated creative work.
