Do you want to craft communications for the biggest names and brands, at a place that demands creativity and values the Oxford comma? If so, let us hear from you. We are always on the lookout for talented writers to join our team. If you do not see a specific position listed, you can submit a resume and writing samples for future consideration below. If we're interested in your application, a member of our recruitment committee may reach out for a chat to get to know you, even if we aren't currently hiring.

West Wing Writers is a strategic communications firm with offices in Washington, DC and New York City, as well as employees located across the country. We’re veterans of the Obama White House and the Clinton White House, of presidential campaigns, governors’ offices, and Capitol Hill. We’re journalists and teachers; novelists and activists; comedians, poets, and foreign policy experts.

Today, we craft messaging for some of the most compelling leaders and thinkers. We’ve helped CEOs tell their stories on the world’s biggest stages. We’ve helped global foundations make the case for a new wave of philanthropy. We’ve helped politicians rally national political conventions, companies launch products to global markets, and people from all walks of life hold TED audiences in rapt attention.

Every day we come to work, we partner with a wide array of clients around the world—from Fortune 500 Companies to progressive activists—to find their voice, hone their message, and push for change. We love what we do, and we’d love you to join us.

We’re committed to a diverse and inclusive work environment. We strongly encourage members of historically underrepresented groups to reach out, including people of color, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, gender-nonconforming people, neurodivergent individuals, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and multilingual individuals.

As of 2023, West Wing Writers became employee-owned when we implemented an Employee Ownership Stock Plan (ESOP). This transfer of ownership reflects our people-centered values and culture and our mission to enhance our team-driven, outcome-oriented approach. Every year, employee-owners receive shares of our stock on top of a 3% safe harbor 401(k) contribution.
