Senior Creative Writer
Galison
Proposal writer job in Kansas City, MO
Brass Monkey, part of the Galison/Mudpuppy family, is looking for a Senior Creative Writer to join our team-specifically, a funny one. Not because we want you to entertain us, but because everything we make is grounded in a dry, clever sense of humor. That includes anything from low-stakes party games about murder, to sticker books full of judgy fish.
Just so you know, all our products are concepted, designed, and written entirely by four people in Kansas City, MO (until you, that is), so we're looking for an experienced, yet authentically funny writer to join as an integral part of our team. Clever words are an essential part of what we do - and the person we are looking for should be passionate about writing them. A lot of them.
Key Responsibilities: In this role you will absorb and own the brand voice, write product content (all the funny stuff that we put into the things we make), create copy for presentations and the web, edit and rework ideas created by other team members, maintain a passion for pop culture (an excuse to watch a lot of garbage TV) and conduct research - the fun kind. You will work with our external proofreader, engage in the creation of products from concept to execution, assist with product ideation and play testing, and can write (and still be clever) in specific space requirements. Lastly, you will use (and abuse) em dashes and/or try your best to stop us from doing that.
Qualifications: You will need a minimum of 3-5 years' writing experience, a proficiency in Microsoft Word and Teams, an ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously, and writing examples that demonstrate the style of writing detailed above. InDesign and Illustrator experience is a plus. Writing experience in comedy, entertainment, marketing, or specifically in the gift/novelty industry is preferred.

Extensive knowledge of weird pop-culture references and an affinity for making everyone around you laugh is way more important.
Hiring Salary Range: $73,000 - $84,000. This range represents the anticipated low and high end of the expected salary for this position and will be determined by factors including, but not limited to, an applicant's education, experience, knowledge, skills, abilities, and geographic location as well as internal equity and alignment with market data. This position is eligible for our profit share plan.
Benefits: We offer a full suite of benefits, including, but not limited to, medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401k, a profit share plan, three weeks of paid vacation to start, two weeks of sick time per year, and company holidays, including a paid winter break between Christmas Day and New Year's Day, paid family, maternity, and paternity leave, commuter benefits, long-term disability insurance, annual tuition assistance, annual wellness stipend, and more.
Schedule: Employees will follow a regular hybrid schedule in our Kansas City, MO office office of at least three (3) in-office days per week and up to five (5) in-office days per week, depending on project and business needs. Please note that this job description is not designed to cover all the activities required of the employee.
To Apply: Please follow the link to submit a resume and cover letter via our career site. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, age, or veteran status. We look for candidates who will add to our culture and support the company's vision of a diverse, equitable, inclusive, and collaborative workplace, and we are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. If you are excited about this role but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we still encourage you to apply.
About Us: In a super technical sense, we're a consumer goods brand founded in 2020 to make entertaining, authentic, and well-designed stuff that people didn't even know they wanted to begin with. We firmly believe that there's a world between fine china and bobblehead dolls -and that products can have personality without becoming roadside souvenirs. That's our guiding principle: to make beautiful, well-crafted gifts and games that just happen to have a sense of humor. Who said that art school and open-mic nights were a waste of time? We're looking at you, dad.
