Senior Creative Copywriter (Dutch)
Join us!
Join a fast-growing company with a purpose! At Fastned, you will actively contribute to accelerating the transition to electric mobility. Together with over 300 colleagues (more than 50 nationalities) across 9+ countries, we have big plans: we are building a Europe-wide network of 1,000 beautiful fast-charging stations where electric drivers can charge their cars with energy from the sun and wind.We have recently been voted best charging network in the UK, France, and the Netherlands, a testimony to our drive to offer the best charging experience to EV drivers!
“We’re looking for a writer’s writer to join a tenacious, witty team of creative minds eager to break new ground in an industry where beauty and words often take a back seat. Someone who loves tapping into human insights to show that we build these beautiful pieces of architecture for people, not just their cars.Someone who genuinely loves the act of writing, even beyond the company-provided Bluetooth keyboard, occasionally picking up a pen to journal, write poetry, or craft comedy bits, and might already be tinkering with thoughtful Christmas letters for friends and family.
Someone who enjoys coming up with big ideas and knows how to share them in a way that gets everyone just as excited as they are.”
- Message from Dana the Brand Lead (Creative Director)
Your Role

We’re looking for a Senior Creative Copywriter with a sharp wit and strategic brand campaign mindset to craft words that make the switch to electric driving feel exciting and obvious.You’ll be responsible for bringing Fastned’s tone of voice to life across campaigns, charger screens, videos, and more, ensuring that every message hits and resonates.

The Work
So, what exactly will you be working on?- Writing compelling copy for anything consumer-facing or employer branding can range from big-budget marketing campaigns to clever informational video scripts and company culture elements—like merch people can’t wait to wear or our office bar menu and coasters.
- Developing creative concepts and ideas that push industry standards beyond the norm, capturing the essence of Fastned and showcasing why we’re uniquely positioned as thought leaders. We’re not just redefining the charging playbook—we’re setting the standard for e-mobility brand building and communication.
- Set a new benchmark for how an e-mobility brand can create emotional connections and an inspiring brand experience for millions of future EV drivers. Speak to today’s audience while anticipating and engaging the drivers of the next five years.
- Mentoring more junior copywriters to help them grow and align their work with Fastned’s brand strategy, while also sharing knowledge and collaborating with anyone creating presentations, corporate materials, or internal messages to help them channel the Fastned tone, all while using their own words.
- Overseeing the tone of voice across different regions and checking the work of our transcreation partners to keep things consistent. Simplifying copy for local markets when needed, all while staying true to the brand messaging.
- Collaborating with designers to bring ideas to life and ensuring every word feels intentional and in sync with the design. Creating that perfect balance where copy elevates the visuals, fits seamlessly within the layout, and guides the reader’s eye effortlessly through the information.
You’ll work closely with our Brand Lead (Creative Director), Head of Brand & Marketing, Designers, Social Media Copywriter and Production Manager in a team that handles most of our creative work in-house.
