New York, NY | Full-Time | Onsite

About the Company

Jacob & Co. is a New York-based luxury house renowned for its extraordinary timepieces and high jewelry. Founded by Jacob Arabo, the brand has built a singular identity at the intersection of horology, gem-setting craftsmanship, and cultural influence. From the Five Time Zone to the Astronomia, Jacob & Co. watches are worn by a global clientele that expects the exceptional as a baseline.

We are looking for a Copywriter who understands what it means to speak for a brand of this caliber — and who can bring that understanding to every caption, headline, and press release they produce.

The Role

This is a full-time, in-house copywriting position embedded within the Creative and Marketing team. You will be the primary voice across all written brand touchpoints, working closely with Creative, Marketing, and PR to produce copy that is precise, elevated, and unmistakably Jacob & Co.

You will report to the Director of Creative Marketing and collaborate directly with senior leadership, including the CEO/Founder, on tone-sensitive communications and brand-defining content.

Responsibilities

Press & PR

Draft press releases for new collection launches, brand partnerships, and major announcements
Review and proofread editorial copy prepared by media partners, publishers, and external agencies for factual accuracy, brand voice, and editorial consistency
Collaborate closely with Marketing, Product Development, and Leadership to ensure accuracy across all press materials
Support the PR team with reactive copy, media pitches, and event communications
Build and maintain core brand messaging, boilerplate copy, product descriptions, and approved language libraries for use across regions and partners

Social Media

Write captions for Jacob Arabo's personal Instagram account — conversational, direct, and reflective of his voice; no hashtags, no calls to action
Develop copy for the Jacob & Co. main brand account across Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn
Write copy for the Jacob & Co. jewelry-specific social presence
Adapt tone and format appropriately across platforms while maintaining brand consistency
Collaborate with the social and creative teams on content calendars and campaign rollouts

Newsletter & Email

Write newsletter copy for brand campaigns, product launches, and brand milestones
Craft subject lines and preview text that drive open rates without compromising brand voice
Partner with the marketing team on audience segmentation and message strategy

Video & Scripted Content

Write voiceover scripts and on-screen copy for brand films, product videos, and ambassador content
Translate complex watchmaking or gem-setting narratives into clear, compelling scripted language
Collaborate with video producers and creative directors during pre-production

Brand & Campaign Copy

Develop copy for campaign activations, events, collaborations, and pop-ups
Write copy for ambassador and partnership announcements across channels
Produce copy for real estate and lifestyle project extensions of the Jacob & Co. brand
Maintain and evolve the internal brand voice guide in partnership with Creative leadership
Collaborate with the CEO and leadership team to refine messaging, prepare talking points, and ensure narrative consistency.

Partner & Collaboration Copy Review

Review and approve all copy published by partners, ambassadors, and collaborators on their own channels in connection with Jacob & Co. projects — including captions, campaign posts, product descriptions, and co-branded materials
Ensure all partner-facing copy aligns with Jacob & Co. brand voice, tone standards, and style guidelines before going live
Provide clear, actionable feedback to partners and their teams when revisions are required
Work with the Marketing team to establish copy review checkpoints within partnership workflows
Serve as the final written brand guardian for any external content that carries the Jacob & Co. name

Qualifications

5+ years of copywriting experience, with a significant portion in luxury — fashion, jewelry, watches, automotive, hospitality, or adjacent sectors
A portfolio that demonstrates genuine range: social captions, long-form narrative, press materials, and scripted content
Exceptional command of voice — you can write for a brand, a founder, and a press release in the same week and make each one sound right
Deep familiarity with luxury brand standards: restraint, specificity, and craft-forward storytelling
Comfortable working at speed across multiple workstreams without compromising quality
Highly collaborative — you will work cross-functionally with Creative, Marketing, PR, and external partners daily
Strong editorial instincts and a sharp eye for when a single word is wrong
Fluency in French is a plus, not a requirement

What We Are Not Looking For

We are not looking for someone who defaults to flowery language, overwrites to fill space, or relies on superlatives. Jacob & Co. copy earns its impact through precision. If your instinct is to reach for a thesaurus when a simpler word would do the job, this is not the right fit.

How to Apply: Please submit your resume, cover letter, and 2–3 writing samples relevant to luxury watches or lifestyle journalism to gressa@jacobandco.com.

You Will Work Across

Watch and jewelry launches — from teaser through post-launch editorial
Global brand ambassador partnerships (activations, announcements, social content)
High-profile cultural and sports collaborations
CEO personal brand and public-facing communications
Exclusive client events, VVIP communications, and brand experiences
Lifestyle and real estate brand extensions

Salary: $120K
