Experiential Copywriter & Creative Storyteller

Description & Requirements

About the Role

We’re not just writing copy — we’re shaping how the automotive industry experiences the future of in-cabin technologies. As HARMAN Automotive evolves into the leading supplier of in-cabin user experiences, we’re looking for a Copywriter who can translate complex product and technology narratives into clear, compelling, and emotionally resonant stories.

In this role, you’ll focus on business-to-business communications: crafting copy for customer presentations, product demos, events, and brand storytelling that help OEM partners understand the value of our innovations. Your words will make the technical feel human and the complex feel simple — inspiring trust and excitement in our vision.

Your Team

You’ll join HARMAN Automotive Design — a global, award-winning team of UX/UI, Industrial, Communication, and Motion Designers. We work across Germany, the US, China, Korea, and Japan, uniting creative disciplines with a shared focus on design excellence and real-world impact. You’ll collaborate daily with designers, project managers, engineers, and marketing colleagues to ensure our message is as strong as our design.

What You Will Do

• Write, edit, and refine copy for presentations, product demos, workshops, and customer events
• Translate technical features into compelling benefits for B2B audiences (OEMs, industry partners, internal leadership)
• Partner with designers and creative leads to establish a strong written voice for pitches, proposals, and strategic initiatives
• Craft storytelling for experiential journeys, including HMI demonstrations, concept showcases, and innovation roadmaps
• Support senior leadership in developing speeches, award submissions, and strategic narratives
• Create copy frameworks, guidelines, and templates to ensure consistent communication across global teams
• Present your work to internal stakeholders and external clients, aligning them to the creative vision and adapting when needed

• Proofread and edit all deliverables to ensure clarity, accuracy, and professional quality

What You Need to Be Successful

• 4–6 years of professional copywriting experience, ideally in agency, tech, or automotive environments
• Bachelor’s degree in Communications, Journalism, English, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience
• Proven ability to translate technical content into simple, engaging narratives for B2B contexts
• A portfolio showcasing strong writing for presentations, campaigns, or product storytelling
• Excellent verbal communication and presentation skills, with confidence in client-facing settings
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to deliver under shifting timelines and priorities
• Curiosity and a culturally aware perspective, bringing creativity and relevance into technical storytelling

Bonus Points if You Have

• Experience writing for the automotive or technology industries
• Familiarity with in-cabin UX, HMI, or connected car technologies
• Passion for music and sound as part of the in-car experience
• Understanding of storytelling for events, exhibitions, or immersive experiences
• Ability to guide or mentor junior creatives in writing best practices

What Makes You Eligible

• Based in the United States and authorized to work without visa sponsorship
• Fluent in English and comfortable collaborating across cultures and disciplines
• Able to work on-site at our Novi, MI studio as needed
• Open to occasional travel for project reviews, HARMAN offices, or global design workshops

What We Offer

• Flexible Work Environment: Enjoy a flexible schedule within a global, collaborative culture
• Exclusive Discounts: Access employee discounts on Harman and Samsung products (JBL, Harman Kardon, AKG, and more)
• Professional Growth: Extensive training opportunities through HARMAN University’s academies for continuous development
• Recognition & Rewards: Participate in the “Be Brilliant” program to celebrate achievements and contributions
