Creative Writer (Vancouver)

Adbusters Media Foundation is looking for a passionate, politically charged Creative Writer to flesh out our Vancouver team of activists, artists, dreamers and redeemers.

Adbusters, the journal of the mental environment, is a staple of the counterculture. For three decades, our collective of dissidents and dreamers has been smashing ads, castigating corruption, and taking the powers that be to task — without ever accepting a single corporate dollar. From Buy Nothing Day to #OccupyWallStreet, we've been at the helm of some of our era's definitive toneshifting moments. Become a key part of our mission to forge radical new ways to live, love, and think.

The Creative Writer will work closely with other editorial staff, including the Editor-in-Chief. The job consists primarily of the following tasks:

• Writing material for both our print and digital platforms;
  
• Writing activist briefings;
  
• Communicating with our readers and the broader public.
  

A successful candidate will have the following qualifications:

• Be tuned in to the big ecological and political issues of our time;
  
• Have strong creative writing skills;
  
• Strong editing acumen;
  
• The ability to work efficiently and effectively alongside a team of staff and contributors;
  
• Curiosity, passion and political savvy.
