Position Summary and Objective

Global Guardian protects some of the highest-stakes clients in the world. For many of them, our words are the first thing they encounter. We're hiring a Senior Copywriter to take Global Guardian's brand voice forward, working from a clear positioning and foundation, and turning it into the one-pagers, decks, web copy, and campaigns that move deals forward, every single day. 

If you can write with precision and force in someone else's voice, keep it consistent at volume, and stay sharp when priorities shift hourly, this is a role for you.

Essential Functions and Responsibilities

• Own the Global Guardian voice: ensure all messaging, copy, and external communications adhere to the terminology, tone, and positioning set by the VP of Brand & Strategic Communications, and apply it consistently across every asset and audience.

• Write and maintain sales enablement content: product and service communication assets, client-facing decks, proof stories and brochures. 

• Produce web copy, blog posts, and thought leadership supporting ongoing marketing campaigns.

• Write sales emails and other outbound campaign copy. 

• Develop copy for event stands and in-person, experiential marketing materials. 

• Adapt tone for our core buyer audiences and varying formats without losing brand voice. 

• Manage multiple concurrent projects and shifting priorities in a fast-paced, always-on environment. 

• Partner closely with the Sales and Marketing team at our Virginia HQ, to keep content moving at pace. 

• Work with subject-matter experts to turn technical security and operations content into accurate, compelling copy, with discretion around sensitive details. 

Competencies and Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, English, Communications, or related field.  

• Proven copywriting experience, in-house or agency, writing across multiple brands or clients. 

• Demonstrated ability to write consistently in an established brand voice, while flexing style and tone across various media. 

• Strong organizational skills and comfort managing a high volume of concurrent requests. 

• A calm, steady approach under pressure and tight deadlines. 

• Excellent written English and meticulous attention to detail. 

• Self-motivated, with proven success working remotely and asynchronously with a US-based team. 

• Ability to see the brand's positioning thread and weave it consistently across new communications assets. 

• A tactical mind, able to apply strategic insights, translate it them into useful content, and demonstrate clarity of thought. 

• Understands voice at both the tone level (word choice, phrasing) and the structural level (how content is organized), including how that structure affects how LLMs and AI search tools parse and represent the brand. 

• A working understanding of LLM behavior patterns and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is a bonus, not a requirement. 
   

Position Type and Schedule

• Salaried, Exempt professional.
• Salary range: $90,000 - $100,000 annually, dependent upon experience.
• Reports to VP, Brand & Strategic Communications. 
• This position will be based out of McLean, VA, or potentially remote.
