Requirements
  • Have 2+ years of copywriting experience at an in-house marketing department or external agency.
  • Have a portfolio of fun, fresh, thoughtful copy that makes us want to take a second look (and a third look, and a fourth look…).
  • Have experience writing for digital, email, social, and print AND know how to flex tone according to the creative task at hand. Whether that’s an intriguing subject line, a witty social caption, or a bold headline that makes the reader hungry for more.
Responsibilities
  • Demonstrate your craft: write clear, persuasive, and on-brand copy across all marketing channels, but esp. digital—everything from email journeys to organic social.
  • Act as the expert: on Tovala’s brand voice and tone, that is. And keep a pulse on how that voice best comes to life throughout the full experience.
  • Know thy consumer: immerse yourself in the customer experience, using customer insights and a consumer-centric lens to tailor copy to where they’re at in the funnel.
  • Show your range: meticulously self-edit, present multiple “ways in” to bring requests to life, and find different angles to approach work.

Tovala combines hardware, software, and food to simplify home cooking with its Tovala Smart Oven and meal delivery service. The Smart Oven is a countertop appliance that cooks meals automatically when customers scan a QR code on Tovala-prepared meals. This system is designed for busy individuals and families who want healthy, home-cooked meals without spending much time in the kitchen. Tovala differentiates itself from competitors by offering a seamless cooking experience through its oven and subscription-based meal delivery service, which includes chef-crafted meals tailored for the oven. The company's goal is to provide convenient, nutritious meals while fostering a positive work culture and supporting its employees.
