copywriter at CRED in Bengaluru, Karnataka, IN

what is CRED?

CRED is an exclusive community for India’s most trustworthy and creditworthy individuals, where the members are rewarded for good financial behavior. CRED was born out of a need to bring back the focus on a long lost virtue, one of trust, the idea being to create a community centered around this virtue. a community that constantly strives to become more virtuous in this regard till they finally scale their behavior to create a utopia where being trustworthy is the norm and not the exception. to build a community like this requires a community of its own; a community special in its own way, working towards making this vision come true.

here’s a thought experiment: what do you get when you put a group of incredibly passionate and driven people and entrust them with the complete freedom to chase down their goals in a completely uninhibited manner? answer: you get something close to what we have at CRED; CRED just has it better.

visibility is easy. memorability is earned. at CRED, we build the latter. where words aren’t just written, they’re engineered to stay. they make people feel something. they make them think twice before settling for less. they shape decisions, sharpen products, and signal intent. we’re looking for someone who can lead that craft with clarity, taste, and conviction.

what will you do:

• own CRED’s voice across the ecosystem: product, marketing, campaigns, comms. you’ll raise the standard, protect it, and evolve it.
• actively shape the organisation’s understanding of language: how it drives perception, behaviour, and trust
• drive narratives for major launches: across app, films, brand campaigns, activations, and content platforms. the idea starts with you; the execution carries your fingerprints
• lead cross-functional storytelling: ensuring product, design, marketing, and PR speak with one voice and one level of intelligence
• architect communication frameworks for new products, verticals, and experiences. defend quality, articulate rationale, and negotiate for the time and space great work needs
• set up a culture of writing that’s bold, elegant, intelligent, and unmistakably CRED: across everything from a push notification to a brand film
• bring clarity in ambiguity: simplify the complex, challenge the obvious, and articulate intent without losing nuance.

you should apply if you:

• are someone who understands tone, semiotics, audience engineering, and the psychology behind how language moves people
• a thinker who knows the difference between humor and wit, and between confidence and noise
• a leader who can critique, elevate, and build
• someone who brings a point of view
• someone who can provide decisive feedback
• you’ve led creative or copy teams before, and elevated their quality through structure
• you can switch between executive conversations and craft conversations with ease
• you read widely, think deeply, and have a point of view on what excellent writing looks like in products, brands, and platforms

how is life at CRED?

working at CRED would instantly make you realize one thing: you are working with the best talent around you. not just in the role you occupy, but everywhere you go. talk to someone around you; most likely you will be talking to a singer, standup comic, artist, writer, an athlete, maybe a magician. at CRED people always have talent up their sleeves. with the right company, even conversations can be rejuvenating. at CRED, we guarantee a good company.

hard truths: pushing oneself comes with the role. and we realise pushing oneself is hard work. which is why CRED is in the continuous process of building an environment that helps the team rejuvenate oneself: included but not limited to a stacked, in-house pantry, with lunch and dinner provided for all the team members, paid sick leaves and a comprehensive health insurance.

to make things smoother and to make sure you spend time and energy only on the most important things, CRED strives to make every process transparent: there are no work timings because we do not believe in archaic methods of calculating productivity, your work should speak for you. there are no job designations because you will be expected to hold down roles that cannot be described in one word. since trust is a major virtue in the community we have built, we make it a point to highlight it in the community behind CRED: all our team members get their salaries before their joining date. a show of trust that speaks volumes because of the skin in the game.

there are many more such eccentricities that make CRED what it is but that’s for one to discover. if you feel at home reading this, get in touch.
