ABOUT THE COMPANY
Utopia is an ultra-luxury hospitality and lifestyle brand creating a global ecosystem of properties and experiences.
We develop private villa retreats in beautiful locations around the world, each with high-end service. Utopia also offers a wider ecosystem of leisure experiences and services available both to those staying on property and to external visitors.
Utopia designs and builds its properties in-house. Our projects span the full journey: from concept and architecture to construction, interiors, landscape, guest experience, and long-term operation. For architects and designers, this means contributing on properties from the ground up, with the ability to influence how each place is planned, built, and experienced. For hospitality professionals, it means collaborating with a brand where service is personal, attentive, and built around each guest’s stay.
We’re a young, ambitious team with high standards and a hands-on approach. We value strong ideas, practical thinking, attention to detail, and people who are ready to take ownership of their part of each project. If you’re interested in architecture, design, hospitality, or guest experience, we invite you to explore opportunities with Utopia.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We're looking specifically for a native English speaker. For a brand like ours, the writing has to feel effortless - every page should read like it was written by someone who simply gets the language, not translated or approximated. You'll take ownership of the site's copy: keeping it fresh, on-brand, and consistent, so we can move faster without waiting on an agency every time something needs updating.
You won't be starting from a blank page: our tone of voice guide and brand strategy are already in place, so you'll have a clear foundation to build on rather than having to define the brand's voice from scratch.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Writing and editing website copy in English, staying true to Utopia's tone of voice
- Putting together SEO metadata — meta titles, descriptions, OG text, image alt text
- Keeping copy consistent across pages
- Making sure everything published is accurate and up to date
- Writing social media copy across our channels once they launch
- Potentially helping rework internal operational documents — including our General SOP
- Helping develop basic communication guidelines for the team
Requirements
Must have:
- Native-level English proficiency and excellent writing skills.
- Background in copywriting and/or editorial work
Nice to have:
- Experience in luxury or hospitality, and a feel for premium/lifestyle tone of voice
- Basic understanding of SEO and AEO
- An eye for detail
- A basic sense of visual/design sensibility
Benefits
What we offer
- Remote, part-time, within CET or SAST time zones. Flexible enough to fit around your schedule, with a clear rhythm for check-ins with the team.
- A tone of voice and brand strategy already in place. You'll build on the foundation established for the brand, rather than defining its voice from scratch. So, you'll have plenty of room to focus on creating thoughtful, high-quality content.
- See your work go live fast. No lengthy agency handoff cycles — what you create ships to a real, ultra-luxury website.
- A team that spans 30+ countries. Designers, architects, and hospitality professionals from every corner of the world, working to the same standards, the same bar for quality.
