Our Opportunity
Location: Fortescue’s Perth office is located on the traditional lands of the Whadjuk people

Fortescue is seeking an experienced Principal Creative Copywriter to support the development and delivery of high-quality written content across global communications channels. This role is responsible for translating complex technical and operational information into clear, consistent and engaging messaging aligned with Fortescue’s strategic objectives.
This isn’t about just communicating, its about connecting. Most copywriters can write. Few can take something complex, technical, or abstract and turn it into something people actually care about. Fewer still can find the human truth inside it and build a narrative that cuts through in a relatable and meaningful way. If you are one of those few - this is the job for you.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and deliver high-quality written content across digital, social, web, campaign and executive communication channels
Translate complex technical and operational information into clear, accurate and accessible messaging
Ensure consistency of tone of voice and alignment with Fortescue’s brand and communication standards
Manage multiple content briefs and priorities across a range of internal stakeholders
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather insights and develop effective content solutions
Support the preparation of executive communications, including speeches, articles and key messaging materials
Contribute to integrated communication campaigns aligned with business objectives and audience requirements
Review and optimise content to ensure clarity, accuracy and effectiveness across channels
Qualifications and Experience
Minimum 7 years’ experience in a copywriting or content development role within a corporate, agency or media environment
Demonstrated experience delivering content across multiple formats, including digital, campaigns and long-form communications
Proven ability to translate complex or technical subject matter into clear, structured and audience-appropriate content
Experience working with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams in a corporate environment
Strong understanding of brand governance, communication frameworks and integrated campaign delivery
Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver to deadlines in a fast-paced environment
Relevant tertiary qualification in communications, journalism, marketing or a related discipline
Experience in sustainability, climate or issues-based communications is desirable
Candidates are encouraged to provide examples of recent written work or a portfolio demonstrating experience.
