Editor/Copywriter

Editor/Copywriter

Hamilton Beach Brands is seeking an Editor/Copywriter to lead the strategy, creation, editing, and proofreading of our direct-to-consumer and direct-to-market content.

In this hybrid role, you will balance physical collateral needs with modern digital strategy. A majority of your time will be dedicated to writing compelling packaging and product launch kit content, while the remaining work will focus on strategic digital copy. While this role is heavily anchored in packaging, we are looking for a candidate highly competent in digital optimization—someone with strong AI literacy, a deep understanding of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and extensive knowledge and experience in modern search best practices. You will help ensure our products maximize AI discoverability and engagement across all brand websites and retail channels.

Salary Range: $67,900.00 To $82,450.00 Annually

What You Will Do:

• Lead the copy strategy and creation for product launch kits and physical packaging collateral.
• Craft high-converting content for digital tiles, digital campaigns, social media posts, web copy, and video scripts designed for maximum AI and modern search engine discoverability.
• Serve as the final gatekeeper for tone, grammar, and house style across all packaging and digital collateral.
• Partner closely with our in-house Creative, Digital Content, Digital Marketing, and Legal teams.

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Marketing, Advertising or Communications (or related) with 3+ years of professional copywriting, editing, and content strategy experience preferred in the Consumer/Home goods sector.
• Hands-on experience writing packaging collateral and structuring product listings for major e-commerce platforms.
• Demonstrated understanding of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), modern search engine best practices, and AI-driven discoverability.
• Exceptional skill in adapting and protecting distinct brand voices across a broad portfolio of parent brands and sub-brand collections.
• Expert-level editing and proofreading capabilities with strict attention to detail regarding house style guides (AP/Chicago), trademark enforcement, and legally substantiated claims.
• Experience with Apple computers and Adobe Creative Suite/InDesign software. Typing skills of 50-100 WPM are required.

Physical/Environmental Requirements:

• Standard indoor corporate office and remote/hybrid home office environment.
• Stationary work at a desk utilizing Apple/Mac computer workstations and screen-based software.
• Visual acuity required for proofreading digital assets, checking typography, reviewing high-resolution print/packaging proofs, and auditing fine text for compliance.

What We Offer:

• Hybrid work schedule
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Company HSA contributions
• 401(k) plan with immediate vesting
• Profit sharing program
• Paid vacation, holidays, and a paid charitable day
• Summer hours to support work-life balance
