Our mission.
As the top platform for real estate follow-up and lead conversion, our mission is to help salespeople leverage their databases and turn their contacts into contracts. We’re looking to grow our team with talented, passionate people who share our energy and enthusiasm for helping small business owners increase their profits.
What we do.
Every month, we send more than 25 million messages for the top real estate agents and teams in the country. Our proven automated system makes it easy for our members to follow up with their contacts and close more business by sending emails, text messages, voicemail drops, and handwritten cards that people actually want to read.
Who we are.
We’re a small company filled with friendly, dedicated, and supportive employees, and we’re passionate about what we do. We’re not about endless meetings, dress codes, or other corporate drudgery here. You can show up at the office in yoga pants, and even work at a standing desk if that’s your thing. We believe that when our employees are happy, our members are happy—and we take that pretty seriously. Everything else? Let’s make it fun!
Your job.
We’re seeking a Junior Copywriter to join our fast growing company. You’ll be filling a critical role at an ideal time—AND, you’ll get to do it surrounded by an amazing team. As a Junior Copywriter at Happy Grasshopper, you’ll work directly with our clients to deliver relevant, strategically and conceptually strong, high-quality content that converts. You’ll produce content that creates excitement and engagement across a variety of audiences and platforms and add value by helping maintain a cohesive brand voice (for HG and for our clients).
About you.
You’re exceedingly positive with a hunger to succeed. You really care about doing a great job on every task, no matter how small. You’re not afraid of a challenge or a little hard work, and you’re constantly striving to find new and better ways to do your job. You’re a storyteller extraordinaire and handy with a red pen…you may have already found a few errors in this copy that you’re dying to tell us about. You can communicate big ideas with simplicity for people, brands, and brand systems in a way that translates the idea across various media. The ideal candidate works fast, is able to quickly discern the needs of a project, and can tackle concept write-ups—turning them into robust ideas—on the fly.
Requirements.
- Bachelor’s degree Communications, Journalism, Marketing, English or similar or equivalent professional experience
- Experience managing multiple deliverables at one time to meet aggressive deadlines
- Experience in attracting, retaining, and growing an audience
- Expert knowledge of copywriting principles in storytelling, communication, tone/voice

What you’ll do.
- Create. Today, we have a fantastic fountain of ideas but lack the bandwidth to implement. The right person will ‘click’ and wow us with their ability to think beyond copy and seamlessly extend ideas to a variety of different media formats.
- Wow. If you’re the right candidate, you’ll blow us away with your talent and work ethic.
- Bend. The industry is constantly growing and evolving and so are we. We’re a small group, we wear a lot of hats, and we collaborate often—the ability to go with the ever-changing flow while consistently delivering top-notch work is essential.
- Learn and Grow. There’s no room for soap boxes, but there is room for data. The best performing copy wins here. Period. If you’re the right hire, you’ll understand this and will be eager to test and measure.
