About Klarna Klarna was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 2005. Since then we've changed the banking industry forever. And now we're creating the world's smoothest shopping experience. We serve over 90 million consumers worldwide, and partner with 250,000 merchants – with a new merchant joining us every 8 minutes. Including some of the world's leading brands, such as H&M, ASOS, IKEA, Adidas, Samsung and Lufthansa. Our offices are spread over 17 different markets, hosted by 4000+ employees from 100+ nationalities.

The position is based in Columbus, Ohio. What you will do Like everyone at Klarna, we expect you to roll up your sleeves. No job is too big, no job is too small. You’ll play an important role in developing concepts and executing ideas for product launches, marketing touchpoints, customer communication channels, and strategic frameworks. In collaboration with product marketers and domain teams, you’ll be building and enriching the Klarna brand by creating consumer-facing copy about our payment methods, internal strategic copy, value propositions, and messaging hierarchies for our services. You should also be able to write emails and banner ads, all the way up to creating copy based on user research and competitive analysis so as to differentiate the Klarna brand tonality.

That means we expect you to have completed at least 5 years in the trade—preferably at a creative agency or a similar role at a relevant company—and that you really feel that you can contribute to our future growth. You’re comfortable working both autonomously and collaboratively, and you’re experienced in creative ideation and campaign thinking. Since we constantly test and measure our campaigns in order to get the most of them, your creative skills must be on par with your ambition to measure, follow-up, iterate or maybe even start over completely.

• be responsible for keeping and ensuring Klarna's brand and tone of voice together with other copywriters and designers.
