Creative Director, Copy

This role can be based in our New York City, San Francisco, Sunnyvale, or Mountain View office.

At LinkedIn, our approach to flexible work is centered on trust and optimized for culture, connection, clarity, and the evolving needs of our business. The work location of this role is hybrid, meaning it will be performed both from home and from a LinkedIn office on select days, as determined by the business needs of the team.

The Creative team is looking for a Creative Director, Copy to help define how LinkedIn shows up in the world.

This is a role for someone who leads with ideas. Writing is your craft, but your impact comes from how you shape thinking, build narratives, and push work to a higher standard.

You’ll work across brand and marketing to turn insight into creative that connects with real people, work that feels clear, human, and culturally relevant.

Responsibilities:

• Translate strategy and insight into creative platforms, campaigns, and narratives
• Lead concept development from the earliest stages through execution
• Write and oversee copy across channels—brand, marketing, video, and more
• Shape and evolve LinkedIn’s voice, ensuring it feels consistent, human, and distinctive
• Work side by side with design, strategy, and marketing from the very beginning—co-creating ideas, shaping briefs, and influencing the direction of the work before it’s defined
• Push for simplicity and clarity, especially in how we express complex or abstract ideas
• Bring others into the work early—aligning, influencing, and elevating ideas so the best thinking wins
• Present creative with clarity and conviction, helping teams and stakeholders see not just what works, but what’s worth making
• Mentor and guide writers, raising the bar for thinking, craft, and creative ambition across the team
