German Copywriter - (UGC & Social-First)

Paintgun is a dynamic creative agency focused on building high-performing paid social ads that drive measurable growth. We work at the intersection of creative strategy, performance marketing, and production — helping brands create ads that actually convert.

We’re looking for a Copywriter with strong hands-on experience in social-first creative, especially UGC-style content and organic social storytelling. This role is ideal for someone who understands how content performs on platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, Meta, and YouTube Shorts — and knows how to write hooks, scripts, and concepts that feel native to the feed.
