We envision a future where people transact in the real world with a speed, ease and convenience that is unparalleled, even online. Tomorrow, we will power checkout-free experiences anywhere you go to make the everyday experiences of living, working, and playing remarkable - giving us back our most valuable asset, time. 

The Role  

Metropolis develops advanced computer vision and machine learning technology that makes mobile commerce remarkable. Our platform is deployed in hundreds of parking facilities and used by millions of customers, and we are building a digital platform through which the future of mobile commerce will move. As we continue to expand, we are seeking a Copywriter to support a variety of internal teams, while also leading the development of Metropolis’ voice and tone and setting the standard for writing quality company wide. 
 
The role will be based in New York and will coordinate with each of the regions and divisions to drive standards and best practices, balanced with market relevancy. 

As Copywriter, you will be responsible for Metropolis' voice and tone, standardizing how it comes to life in Sales Enablement material, Product UI, on-location signage, and the web (among many other potential applications). You are a creative, conceptual systems thinker who has built voice and tone at the foundational level and overseen its continued iteration and development. You will frequently interface with stakeholders across the business to ensure continuity and build brand unity. You have experience in high volume creative teams and are looking for an opportunity to author and own a written system at a growth stage company.

  • You’ll collaborate closely with the Communications, Marketing, Product, Revenue, Operations, and Executive teams. 
  • You’ll be a key author, and owner of, the Metropolis voice and tone. 
  • You’ll develop and evangelize the Metropolis voice and tone ongoing, both through your writing and partnership with a wide array of stakeholder groups. 
  • You’ll write and edit website copy including product descriptions, value propositions, and keyword-rich content to optimize for SEO. 
  • You’ll write and edit compelling and segmented marketing emails to maximize open rate, click-through, and conversion. 
  • You’ll write and edit ads and captions for our organic and paid social channels (in partnership with our Marketing and Operations teams). 
  • You’ll write and edit corporate communications, both from the corporate point of view and in the voice of individual executive leaders. 
  • You’ll write and edit Sales Enablement material, arming our Revenue and Operations teams with collateral to fuel the pitch process. 
  • You collaborate and consult with our Product team, moonlighting as a UX and functional writer ad hoc. 
     
    Qualifications: 
     
  • 5+ years of copywriting experience, either in-house, at an agency, or both. 
  • A portfolio or work samples demonstrating a clear link to the role; voice and tone foundations are a must. 
  • Ability to collaborate effectively within a team and work independently. 
  • Ability to prioritize work according to business needs. 
  • Ability to influence stakeholders laterally and collaborate with stakeholders vertically. 
  • Familiarity with Adobe Suite and Figma. 
  • Fluency in MS Office. 

 

When you join Metropolis, you’ll join a team of world-class product leaders and engineers, building an ecosystem of technologies at the intersection of parking, mobility, and real estate. Our goal is to build an inclusive culture where everyone has a voice and the best idea wins. You will play a key role in building and maintaining this culture as our organization grows. The anticipated base pay for this position is $135,000.00 to 165,000.00 annually. The actual base pay offered is determined by a number of variables, including, as appropriate, the applicant's qualifications for the position, years of relevant experience, distinctive skills, level of education attained, certifications or other professional licenses held, and the location of residence and/or place of employment. Base pay is one component of Metropolis’s total compensation package, which may also include access to or eligibility for healthcare benefits, a 401(k) plan, short-term and long-term disability coverage, basic life insurance, bonus plans and more.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
