As a Creative Copywriter at Nando’s ANZ, your mission is to bring the Nando’s voice to life, crafting words that spark conversation, ignite curiosity and keep our brand culturally relevant.  

We’re on a journey to becoming ANZ’s Most Loved Restaurant Brand and this role is critical to helping the brand do just that. You’ll help us:

  • Creatively punch above our weight

  • Build strong local connections with the brand

  • Building brand fame not only by what we serve, but by how we show up

You’ll be the creative storyteller in the marketing team, turning bold ideas into compelling copy that resonates across social platforms and beyond. With your sharp wit, conceptual thinking, and passion for language, you’ll help us elevate our brand to new, fiery heights.

What you ‘ll do

  • Collaborate closely with the brand team partners to dream up and deliver innovative concepts

  • Stay ahead of what has ANZ talking, from cultural trends to memes and moments

  • Work alongside our in-house designer as part of a creative duo

  • Be the guardian of Nando’s tone of voice, ensuring every word reflects our unique personality

What we’re looking for

  • Proven experience as a copywriter in a creative or agency environment

  • Strong understanding of social platforms, trends, and cultural nuances 

  • Experience providing creative input during shoots

This role sits at the heart of our Support Office, partnering closely with our restaurants to help our people and business thrive. You’ll bring curiosity, care and a practical mindset to everything you do.

At Nando’s, our Compass guides everything we do – from how we show up for our people to how we support our communities. Making a real difference matters to us, especially in our Southern African heartland. We believe everyone deserves opportunity, belonging and a place at the table.
