Job Description
Get to Know the Team
First, Let Us Introduce You To Grab Creative Studio
- We're responsible for building the Grab brand and maintaining its integrity across the region.
- Our mission is to build brand love in everything we do and create memorable experiences for our users through purposeful creative work.
We're looking for a Malay Copy Creative Lead — someone who thinks strategically, writes persuasively, and makes the language sing for the largest population in Malaysia.
Someone Who
- Use magical thinking and masterful craftsmanship to solve real business problems — and maybe win some awards along the way.
- Champion what's right for the brand, not what's trendy.
- Believe "good enough" is never enough.
- Can already think of 20 stronger ways to write this ad.
The Critical Tasks You Will Perform
As the Malay Copy Creative Lead, you'll enhance the standard of all Malay-language copy coming out of Grab Malaysia. You'll work with multiple teams to ensure our voice connects, converts, and builds long-term brand equity.
You Will
- Set the bar for Malay-language copy across campaigns, channels, and platforms — from digital ads to in-app comms to branding campaigns.
- Work with a team of art directors and copywriters, reporting directly to the MY Creative Director.
- Collaborate with Marketing to turn goals into standout creative ideas.
- Ensure every line of copy–be it a promo or a public service announcement–upholds Grab's brand voice, while making space for local nuance and culture.
- Oversee projects from 360 campaigns to quick-turnaround projects — while maintaining a strong creative vision throughout.
- Partner with Creative Producers to manage timelines, priorities, and team morale.
What Essential Skills You Will Need
- 8–10 years of creative agency or in-house experience, with a focus on brand, digital, and integrated campaigns.
- A portfolio that showcases your best original Malay copywriting work — not just translations. (If your work is adapted from English, tell us how you made it resonate locally.)
- A strong grasp of storytelling, strategy, and tone. You're as comfortable with a one-liner as you are with a campaign manifesto.
- You are a compelling communicator; you are able to present, sell, and defend your ideas with clarity and objectivity.
- Someone who gets creative operations. You know how to manage deadlines, assets, and people without losing your spark.
- Comfortable using Google Suite (Docs, Slides, Drive).
- Bonus: You're curious about how AI tools can help (not replace) creativity.
Life at Grab

- We have your back with Term Life Insurance and comprehensive Medical Insurance.
