ABOUT DSC:

In 2011, Dollar Shave Club didn’t just shake up the shaving aisle—we reinvented it. A viral video put us on the map, and our direct-to-consumer model challenged an entire industry by making great razors accessible, affordable, and actually fun to buy.

Since then, we’ve grown far beyond blades. From grooming to personal care, we’ve built a lineup of quality essentials designed to make life easier (and smoother), whether you find us online or in stores near you.

Today, DSC is expanding into new categories and new markets, but our DNA hasn’t changed. We’re still here to cut the BS, deliver real value, and bring a little humor to the everyday routine.

So what are you waiting for? Join the Club.

ROLE SUMMARY:

As Lead Copywriter, you’ll build on Dollar Shave Club’s heritage brand tone and edge and solidify how we show up in the written word across every consumer touchpoint—campaigns, packaging, retail, digital, and beyond. You’ll work with freelance partners as needed, ensuring that our work is smart, strategic, and always on brand.

This role isn’t just about writing headlines; it’s about thinking strategically across the entire funnel and crafting copy that connects with consumers from awareness to conversion. You’ll concept and execute omni-channel ideas that tie into broader business goals, ensuring our words work as hard as our creative. You’ll collaborate closely with the Associate Creative Director and other creative partners to make sure our work isn’t just good—it’s the kind of work people remember.

We’re looking for a strategic thinker who can set the standard for our copy, bring clarity to complex briefs, and keep the bar high without losing the edge that makes us, _us_ .

RESPONSIBILITIES:

+ Own and evolve the brand voice, making sure it’s clear, consistent, and impossible to ignore

+ Partner with designers, marketers, and product teams to turn briefs into big ideas

+ Collaborate closely with leadership to align messaging with business strategy and creative vision

+ Build scalable writing guidelines and processes so the brand sounds like “us” no matter who’s writing

+ Push creative standards higher—whether it’s a two-word headline or a 360° campaign

REQUIREMENTS:

+ Bachelor’s degree in English, Communications, Journalism, Marketing, or a related field

+ 7+ years of copywriting, proofreading, and creative strategy experience (CPG, ecomm, or agency background preferred)

+ 2+ years managing copywriters or freelancers, with a knack for mentoring talent

+ A portfolio that proves you can concept, write, and edit across multiple formats and platforms

+ Experience supporting and growing in-house brands (bonus if it’s in CPG or men’s lifestyle)

+ Ability to collaborate cross-functionally and present work with clarity and conviction
