About the job
To strengthen the Creative Team at our Amsterdam headquarters, we are looking for a Dutch & English Copywriter with a hands-on approach. In this role, your daily work will include localising English Brand Campaign copy to Dutch, writing and editing copy for SEO blogs, product descriptions and automated CRM and CX email flows in English & Dutch. From print advertisements, website banners and feature pages to videos, press releases and social media, every piece of copy needs its own special treatment. You will be working closely with our Creative Copywriter to accurately translate English master copy into Dutch and write engaging copy that activates our audience. On all channels, you will ensure our tone of voice is consistent. Next to your daily responsibilities, we encourage you to find and seize new opportunities that will move you and the brand forward.
Having keen attention to detail, organisation skills, and being able to work with deadlines is what we are looking for. But, most importantly, we’re looking for a team player who enriches the dynamic of our international team.
About MR MARVIS
MR MARVIS is a fast-growing Amsterdam-based online menswear brand that is fully dedicated to delivering the perfect shorts & trousers. After a successful launch in 2016 it has become the #1 shorts brand in the Netherlands! Expanding quickly, with physical stores across Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and online presence in France, Spain, UK and Italy.
Our mission is to share positive energy around the world and make people feel marvellous. We do so by creating iconic designs, offering best-in class service and driving conscious decisions for people and the planet.
As a clothing brand, we want to take responsibility for the impact we have on the world. We aim for timeless design, conscious choices for more sustainable materials and local European production (handmade in Portugal) – in short we are an advocate of “slow fashion”. That is why we are working every day to reduce our emissions and create value for everyone who comes into contact with MR MARVIS. Therefore, we are proud to have become a Certified B Corporation (B Corp) . As a B Corp, MR MARVIS is part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.
Being a force for good goes beyond producing- and selling sustainably, in the end it’s about people. In line with our mission, we participate in several charity and voluntary activities that in most cases focus on the people who sometimes feel a little less marvellous. Examples include: our employees visit elderly homes and dance with elderly who too often feel lonely, our employees help renovate homes for homeless people, and every year we participate in (and donate to) a charity campaign against child cancer (KiKa).
It is also reflected in various HR choices we’ve made so far: good pension plans and disability insurances, learning & development budgets, trainings & inspirational talks, daily healthy catered lunch (on the house), matching employees donations, monthly sport budget, free access to coaches & psychologists, and much more.
