We are looking for a savvy, good-humored, self-motivated writer who can produce quality copy on demand to join the Dealpigg creative team.
Dealpigg is a dynamic, high-energy start-up that has opened a new division in the Seattle area. We are a daily deal sourcing company with a group of extreme couponers, deal hunters, and bargain shoppers that we lovingly call our sales team. Once the sales team has negotiated the terms of a promotion with our merchant partners it is up to our creative team’s writers to make the deal shine with their superhuman level of creativity and mastery of the Dealpigg writing style. Literary types with a sarcastic sense of humor and a wide range of knowledge are definitely encouraged to apply!
Ninja-level skills using Photoshop or similar programs are also beneficial.
As with any start-up you can expect to wear many hats at various times, or even all at once — utility belt and superhero mask are not provided. That said, you can expect a high level of visibility and appreciation for your work.
