🏢 About Visions2030

Visions2030 is a purpose-driven creative studio based in NYC that tackles global challenges like climate change and social justice through innovative storytelling and experiences. Working here means joining a team committed to using creativity for meaningful impact, not just commercial gain.

About This Role

As a part-time copywriter, you'll craft concise, memorable copy across diverse formats—from taglines to fundraising materials—ensuring alignment with Visions2030's mission-driven brand. Your work will directly support campaigns that reimagine complex issues, making your words a catalyst for change.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by reviewing a brief for a new program title, brainstorming metaphor-driven options, then editing a team member's event description for tone. Later, you'd draft social media posts for a climate campaign, ensuring each line is sharp and on-brand, before wrapping up by polishing a fundraising deck's copy.
