Junior Copywriter

Description

At Sonos we want to create the ultimate listening experience for our customers and know that it starts by listening to each other. As part of the Sonos team, you’ll collaborate with people of all styles, skill sets, and backgrounds to realize our vision while fostering a community where everyone feels included and empowered to do the best work of their lives.

This role is a hybrid position

Some roles require an office while others may be done remotely. This position is considered hybrid, allowing for a combination of remote work and in-office collaboration. Qualified applicants must live within commuting distance of our New York office location.

About BPM

BPM — short for Bureau of Psychoacoustic Messaging — is the newly formed in-house creative engine for Sonos — the team behind brand campaigns, social content, and cultural moments that bring the Sonos listening experience to life. We move fast, think culturally, and care as much about how something feels as how it looks.

We're opening a new creative studio and performance space in SoHo, where we'll invite artists in for live performances, listening sessions, and film screenings.

About the Role

We're looking for a Junior Copywriter to join BPM and help make creative work for Sonos.

You’re early in your career, but you know you want to be a writer. You love words, ideas, culture, music, and advertising — and you probably pay more attention than most people to the way brands talk.

You'll work alongside writers, designers, and other creatives to come up with ideas and bring them to life across campaigns, social, product launches, retail, CRM, and whatever else we're making. Some assignments will be big. Some will be small. Sometimes you'll be writing headlines. Sometimes you'll be concepting with a designer. Sometimes you'll be figuring out how to say something complicated in five words.

You don't need to have it all figured out yet. We're looking for someone with talent, curiosity, and a point of view who's excited to learn from really good people and get better by making a lot of work.

Responsibilities

• Write. Headlines, scripts, social posts, emails, product stories, campaign copy, and whatever else the idea calls for.
• Come up with ideas — on your own and alongside designers, writers, and other creatives.
• Explore different ways into a brief instead of stopping at the first idea. Iterate.
• Help turn creative concepts into work that feels clear, interesting, and distinctly Sonos.
• Find interesting, human ways to talk about products and technology.
• Learn the Sonos voice and help bring it to life across different kinds of work.
• Work with more senior creatives to develop your ideas and your craft.
• Take feedback, try again, and keep pushing the work.
• Pay attention to what's happening in music, culture, design, advertising, and the internet — and bring that curiosity into the work.
• Juggle a few things at once and learn how to make good work on real-world timelines.
• What Success Looks Like
• You're making good work and getting better.
• You're curious. You ask questions. You bring ideas into the room. You're willing to try something weird, throw away something that isn't working, and take another swing.
• You care about craft, but you're not precious about your copy. You want feedback because you want the work to be better.
• And as you grow, you're taking on more, finding your voice, and becoming a stronger creative partner.
• What You Bring
• 1–3 years of copywriting or creative experience — agency, in-house, freelance, internships, or other relevant experience all count.
• A portfolio that makes us want to keep looking.
• Strong writing skills and a love of language.
• Ideas. They don't all have to be great. You just need to have them.
• Curiosity about music, culture, design, technology, advertising, and what's happening in the world.
• An interest in making things, not just talking about making them.
• A collaborative mindset and an openness to feedback.
• The ability to work through a problem, try different approaches, and keep going when the first answer isn't the right one.
• A willingness to learn new tools and new ways of working, including AI.
• Experience with consumer brands, technology, music, or culture is nice to have, but it's not the point.
• We're much more interested in your book, your brain, and your potential than a perfectly linear résumé.
• Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don't apply for roles if they don't meet all the criteria. If you don’t have 100% of the skills listed, we strongly encourage you to apply if interested.
• Visa Sponsorship: Sonos is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this role at this time. We ask that applicants be authorized to work for any US employer, both now and in the future.
• Your profile will be reviewed and you'll hear from us once we have an update. At Sonos we take the time to hire right and appreciate your patience.
• The base pay range for this role based off geographic location is:
• $73,000 and $115,900
• The specific pay offered will depend on the candidate’s geographic location, as well as qualifications and experience. We apply geographic pay differentials based on the cost of labor in the market. Employees in high-cost locations may be compensated at the upper end of the range, while those in medium or low cost markets may be compensated at the lower end of the range. Your recruiter can provide more details about the specific salary range for your location during the hiring process.
• Please note that compensation details listed in US job postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits.
• We also offer a comprehensive benefits program with choice and flexibility in mind to help support the health, wealth, and overall well-being of our employees. Regular full time employees in the US are eligible for benefits on day one, including:
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• A 401(k) plan with company matching and immediate vesting

• 80 hours of sick time upon hire, refreshed annually
• Up to 12 paid holidays per calendar year
• Sonos offers a generous paid leave program for new parents or to care for a family member with a serious health condition, as well as short- and long-term disability for your own medical condition
• Company-paid Disability, Life, and AD&D Insurance
• Voluntary benefits, including Voluntary Life, AD&D, Accident, and Pet Insurance
• Mental health benefits to support your holistic well-being
• A generous employee discount program & Sonos Radio HD - on us!
• Note: No amount of pay is considered to be wages or compensation until such amount is earned, vested, and determinable. The amount and availability of any bonus, benefits, or any other form of compensation and benefits that are allocable to a particular employee remains in the Company's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified at the Company’s sole discretion, consistent with the law.
