Copywriter

Employment type 

Full-time, remote (Pacific time zone)

We’re looking for an experienced copywriter to support Floret’s creative team, helping to create and edit content for our website, educational resources, special promotions/announcements, interviews, grower profiles, plant information, and more. You’ll ensure that all of our written work is accurate and completed on time, with the highest level of precision, detail, and care. You should love writing, editing, and proofreading, have an expert eye for detail, and bring a lot of heart to your work. 

You must enjoy working independently but be comfortable collaborating with a tight-knit team, finding it easy to offer insights and point out opportunities for improvement. You can see the big picture but appreciate being down in the details—and never tire of making something just right. 

You’ll also like working through a set process and system to complete work, keeping things super organized, efficient, and clear for our team. You should have no problem working on multiple projects at a time, be able to switch focus as priorities change and issues arise, and bring a calm demeanor, thick skin, and creative, solution-oriented attitude to every aspect of the job.

•  Ability to work independently and remotely (Pacific time zone) and on multiple projects/tasks at once

•  Strongly identify with our philosophy

•  Gardening/horticulture knowledge (or the ability to learn quickly)
