WHO WE ARE
We’re not in the wing business. We’re in the flavor business. It’s been our mission to Serve the World Flavor since we first opened in 1994, and we’re just getting started. 1997 saw the opening of our first brand partner operated Wingstop location, and by 2002 we had served the world one billion wings. It’s flavor that defines us and has made Wingstop one of the fastest growing brands in the restaurant industry.
Above all else – our success is largely due to our people and our core values, or what we call The Wingstop Way of being entrepreneurial, service-minded, fun, and authentic. We believe having a strong people foundation centered on these collective values creates a crave-worthy culture and talented team, as well as ensures our brand is poised for accelerated growth. We all win together.
WHAT WE’LL NEED
We’re looking for a concept-driven Copywriter who can bring ideas to life across channels—from emails and social posts to broadcast scripts—while helping shape a cohesive, unmistakable Wingstop voice.
This is a hands-on role for someone who writes every day and loves it. You’ll be responsible for showing up consistently on-brand across always-on work, while also contributing to bigger campaign thinking and connecting ideas across every phase of a project.
You’ll partner closely with art directors, designers, and cross-functional teams to create work that’s culturally relevant, idea-led, and rooted in flavor. You understand how to tap into what’s happening in culture and translate it into work that feels timely, sharp, and true to the brand.
A strong candidate is equal parts thinker and maker—someone who can generate original concepts, but can also show up daily with smart, on-brand copy across tactical executions without losing the craft.
You’ll play a key role in evolving how Wingstop shows up—helping unify tone of voice, elevate writing craft, and ensure consistency across every touchpoint.

3–5 years of copywriting experience, ideally within an advertising agency or in-house creative team
Proven ability to both concept and execute across multiple channels

Strong conceptual thinking—able to generate ideas, not just executions
Excellent writing skills across formats (short-form, long-form, scripts, headlines)
Experience writing across social, digital, CRM, and broadcast
Deep understanding of tone of voice and how to apply it consistently at scale
Strong attention to detail and pride in the craft
Preferred: Ongoing personal writing practice (fiction, poetry, editorial, etc.) that demonstrates a genuine passion for writing and craft

Strong pulse on culture and trends
Ability to translate cultural moments into relevant, timely, and brand-right work
