Strategic Writer and Communicator
Amca
Marketing & Communications
El Segundo, CA, USA
USD 100k-200k / year
Amca is building America’s new industrial base. Since the 1990s, our ability to build new aviation and military systems and maintain the ones we already have has eroded. Today, the gap between what the nation needs to produce and what it is capable of producing is the largest it has been in generations.
To help close that gap, Amca rapidly develops and manufactures new critical components and subsystems required to build and sustain the planes, military vehicles, and core infrastructure America needs. Today, we operate seven factories nationwide, including our advanced prototyping and testing headquarters in El Segundo, and deliver avionics, hydraulic, and electrical components for platforms such as the F-35, F-16, F/A-18, 737MAX, 787, A320neo, A321, Mk-48, and M1 Abrams.
Overview
We’re looking for exceptional writers and multimedia communicators to help us articulate our evergrowing vision to a broad range of stakeholders in a clear, powerful, and emotionally resonant way. You will work closely with our VP of Strategy and Business, as well as our CEO, to do this. You’re probably a good fit for this set of roles if:
- You could have conceived of and produced Apple’s famous “1984” ad (and held strong against the executives in the room who hated it)
- You worked at VICE between 2007 and 2015
- You’re able to take what most people would require 100 words to communicate and do so in 10
- You write good poetry in your free time
- You’re able to recognize subtle patterns in the everchanging digital ether, well enough to simultaneously channel and also subvert them to cut through the noise
- You are excited by the idea of creating a world around our work that makes our long-term vision of the future feel inevitable, not just possible
- You’re able to immediately detect even the most subtle of AI writing, including when it has been massaged significantly by humans
These roles blend what at other companies would commonly be called marketing, special projects, creative direction, copywriting, strategy, and research. There is no required or expected set of experience.
