Who We Are: 

Omaze is an online fundraising platform that offers people the chance to win once-in-a-lifetime experiences and prizes to support nonprofits around the world. Omaze is on a mission to dream the world better. We do that by fulfilling experiences that have raised over $140M to support nonprofits around the world. These experiences have sent winners to Lake Como with George and Amal Clooney, given someone Pope Francis’ Lamborghini, the chance to live in Europe for a month, or even $1M cash. 

Omaze was named to Fast Company's 2020 Most Innovative Companies and Forbes’ 2021 Best Startup Employers in America. We’re on a path to disrupt the fundraising space and spread optimism at scale, and we’re expanding our exceptional team to help us get there. 

Why You’ll Love Working at Omaze:

• Big Impact - You will be a part of a one-of-a-kind passionate team of world changers, dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the world. 
• Growth - Omaze is growing rapidly. If you’re excited about a high-growth, fast-paced environment, or about scaling something that’s never been done before, we’d love to talk to you. 
• Unique Culture - We live by our virtues. We believe in growing together, spreading joy and dreaming giant. 
• Perks: If raising $20M+ every year to support charities isn’t a perk enough, we’re excited to offer unlimited PTO, summer Fridays, weekly meditation, and the opportunity to work with a phenomenal team that makes a global impact.  

Who We’re Seeking:

We’re looking for a skilled and versatile writer to join our video team and assist in the brainstorming, researching, and writing of creative proposals and scripts that promote our diverse range of once-in-lifetime experiences. So to (hopefully) paint a better picture of what all of that entails, here’s what an ordinary work week might look like for a writer:

MONDAY:

• You join the team to help brainstorm creative video ideas for a high-profile talent partner who is offering fans the chance to meet them on the set of their next film. 
• You draft up a creative proposal to creatively pitch the top 3 creative ideas that we’d like to present to this high-profile talent (and of course, you join us as we all cross our fingers in hope that they’ll select our favorite of those ideas!)
• You circle back up with the team, but this time we’re brainstorming some ways to tell the story around an upcoming impact video that spotlights the incredible and inspiring work of one of our nonprofit partners.

TUESDAY:

• You research and write a script in the voice of a car enthusiast host who is announcing the chance to win a limited-edition Audi. (NOTE: If you happen to be a car enthusiast yourself, that’s great because we do a lot of scripting for the Omaze Autos initiative!)
• You hop into a quick meeting with the team to discuss creative ways to frame an upcoming campaign where another high-profile talent partner is offering the chance to grab coffee with one lucky winner. In other words, what’s a better headline than ‘grabbing coffee’?

WEDNESDAY:

• You join the team for a creative review session to share notes for another writer who was tasked with researching and writing a script for another one of our dream cars.
• You shift gears an hour later to join the team for another creative review session, but this time you’re giving notes on a comedic script for a high-profile talent, who is offering fans the chance to be in an episode of their hit show.

THURSDAY:

• You join the team to brainstorm a creative way to outline/film the uplifting story of a recent winner, who just found out that he won the supercar of his dreams. 
• You join another review session, but this time it’s to present your limited-edition Audi script to the team for notes/feedback.

FRIDAY:

• With clear notes in hand, you dive into revisions on the Audi script.
• Good news! That high-profile talent from Monday’s brainstorm loved one of our ideas and so the next step is to script it. Perhaps next week, you take on this assignment with full support from the team.

Our Ideal Candidate: 

• Bachelor’s degree preferred
• 3+ years of pitching, writing, and producing digital short-form content preferred
• Experience working in fast-paced environments with tight deadlines
• Excels in group creative environments where team culture comes first
• Excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills
• Proficient in Google Suite and/or Microsoft Office, especially Sheets/Excel
• Maintains a proactive approach to planning and focuses on working with cross-functional teams
• A strong knowledge of pop culture is essential while knowledge of sports, travel, and/or cars is a plus.
• Experience working on content featuring A-list talent is a huge plus
• Writers’ room experience a strong plus
• You take your work seriously, but not yourself

What to Expect:

• Competitive salary and benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, 401k matching, fertility support, parental leave, mental health support, employee stock options.
• Our office is dog-friendly (but for now we enjoy our furry friends over video calls).
• We're committed to putting the health of our employees first and are currently working from home with a stipend for office setup, continuation of company events (virtual), and more. 
• We actively seek out diversity of thought and experience to drive innovation. We welcome difference of background, identity, and perspective and work hard to ensure that all people can bring their authentic self to work at all times.
