Who are we?

We are Vinokilo.

We are a growing team on a mission to make secondhand fashion more desirable than new, fast fashion. Why? Because we believe fashion should be stylish and sustainable.
We are based in Bodenheim, a beautiful town in the middle of wine country, 12 km south of downtown Mainz on the edge of the Frankfurt Rhine-Main Region. Our proximity to the airport and our central European location makes us open to the world.

The impact you will create at Vinokilo:

As a Copywriter, you will write clear, compelling copy for various mediums (e.g. ads, events, blog posts, newsletter) for online and offline use. You will join our vibrant marketing and branding team to help communicate our brand personality (in English and German) to the audience and help make secondhand a true alternative for fast fashion. This may seem like a wild statement, but it's more realistic with you on board because:

  • You will understand how to engage our audience with your words and storytelling.
  • You will collaborate with the creative/branding, e-commerce, marketing and events team to assess needs and help with cohesive messaging.
  • You will help us educate our audience.
  • You will drive brand consistency across all company communications - internal and external.
  • You will refer, implement and further develop new creative concepts and aid this development with verbal/ written content.
  • You will build learnings based on data to create better communication as a brand.
  • You will help us grow our reach to a diverse audience.

 

You’ll love this role because: 

  • You’ll be playing a leading role in the fight against fast fashion.
  • You're passionate about sustainability and secondhand fashion. 
  • Your work will be meaningful, challenging, and will have a tangible impact on the future of Vinokilo. 
  • You express yourself through your writing.
  • You want to be a key part of our growth.
  • You’ll get to work with a diverse team of individuals, all passionate about the impact we’re collectively creating. 
  • It comes with the freedom to be creative and innovative. You'll be constantly testing new ideas, copy, campaigns and more.
  • There is plenty of room for growth, for the company and the role.
  • We are based in one of the most stunning areas with the beautiful countryside on our doorstep, yet a short hop, skip and a jump away from Mainz, and the hustle and bustle of Frankfurt and its International airport. 
  • We believe in working flexibly and putting the onus on you to create a schedule that works for you and the company. 

What we need you to have:

  • Fluency in German and English
  • Ability to take on the tone of our brand's voice
  • Experience with SEO
  • Excellent writing, editing and proofreading skills in both languages
  • Team player and problem-solving mindset

NB: We know lots of people, especially woman and minorities, do not apply for roles unless they hit all the requirements listed in the job description — these are normally wish lists. We've tried to simplify this list into what we actually NEED you to have and what would be nice. Either way, if you feel this is your perfect role, we want to hear from you.

We would be excited if you have

  • Experience writing copy for fashion and/or sustainability initiatives.
