Progressive is hiring a remote Junior Copywriter to create marketing, advertising, customer, and employee communications for its in-house agency.
The position is listed as remote in the United States and pays $61,300 to $81,700 per year. Eligible employees may also receive a Gainshare annual cash incentive of up to 24% of eligible earnings, depending on company performance.
Despite the word “junior” in the title, this is not an entry-level opening. Progressive classifies it as an experienced position and requires a portfolio plus three to six years of professional agency copywriting experience, depending on the applicant’s education.
The job was active on Progressive’s official careers site when checked on August 10, 2026.
What Is Progressive?

The company operates an in-house agency called Ninety6. This creative team produces advertising and marketing work for Progressive and its partner brands. The Junior Copywriter opening is part of that agency rather than a customer-service or insurance-sales department.

- $61,300 to $81,700 per year.
- Gainshare annual cash incentive of up to 24% of eligible earnings, based on company performance.
- Actual compensation may depend on the applicant’s qualifications and other job-related factors.
Progressive lists benefits that include:
- Medical, dental, and vision coverage, including free preventive care.
- A 401(k) with a dollar-for-dollar company match of up to 6%.
- Paid time off and volunteer time off.
- Wellness and mental-health programs.

- Life insurance and short-term and long-term disability coverage.
- Parental, family, and military leave.

Benefit eligibility and details can vary, so applicants should review the current plan information during the hiring process.
Job Highlight: Junior Copywriter
The Junior Copywriter will help turn creative and strategic briefs into written content for several audiences and platforms.
The work can include email, direct mail, blogs, landing pages, display advertising, social media, customer communications, and employee communications. The writer will need to switch between clear, functional copy and more conceptual, brand-focused advertising.
This is a collaborative creative role. The copywriter will work with a creative director, other writers, art directors, designers, producers, marketers, and cross-functional partners. Applicants should expect feedback, presentations, multiple simultaneous assignments, and a fast production pace.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop copy from marketing and creative briefs.
- Write short-form and long-form content for digital and traditional channels.
- Create email, direct-mail, social, display, blog, and landing-page copy.
- Adapt tone and messaging for different audiences and Progressive-related brands.
- Balance clear transactional writing with more conceptual advertising ideas.
- Collaborate with writers, designers, art directors, producers, and marketers.
- Present creative work and explain writing decisions to project partners.
- Manage multiple assignments while maintaining brand voice and quality.
- Build subject-matter knowledge across Progressive’s products and audiences.
- Use feedback to improve concepts and finished copy.
Qualifications
Progressive provides two ways to meet the required education and experience combination:
- A high school diploma or GED and at least six years of professional copywriting experience within an advertising or marketing agency; or
- A bachelor’s degree or higher in communications, journalism, English, advertising, or a related field and at least three years of professional copywriting experience within an advertising or marketing agency.
Applicants must also include a portfolio link or writing samples with the application.
Progressive prefers candidates with experience writing both short-form and long-form content across email, direct mail, digital, and social channels. Strong editing, presentation, communication, organization, and collaboration skills are also important.
The company says prior agency experience is preferred, although the required qualifications already call for professional experience within an advertising or marketing agency. Applicants should therefore evaluate their experience against the exact language on the official page before applying.

Location and Schedule
Progressive lists the position as remote with “United States” as the location. The posting does not name individual eligible or excluded states, so applicants should confirm that Progressive can employ them in their state.
The official listing does not provide a daily schedule, shift, travel requirement, equipment policy, or home-office specification. These are good questions to confirm with a recruiter before accepting an interview or offer.
Progressive states that employment sponsorship is not available for this position.
Closing Notes
This job may fit an experienced agency copywriter who wants to work remotely for a recognizable national brand and has a portfolio demonstrating both concise advertising copy and longer content.
The compensation and potential Gainshare incentive make the opening attractive, but the title can create the wrong impression. “Junior” does not mean beginner-friendly here. The biggest hurdles are the required agency background, three-to-six-year experience threshold, and portfolio requirement.
The position was active when checked on August 10, 2026. The job number is 261180. Progressive does not list a closing date, and competitive remote openings can close without much notice. Confirm that the application is still available and review all requirements on the official page before applying.
