translator with guaranteed copywriter skills
Explanation:
It appears they are looking for someone who is rather more skilled than a "mere, humble, hard-working translator", but rather, someone who has the skills of producing material that is fit for publication, after it has been translated.

No doubt a specialist 'Translator-Revisor'.

Thank you. Sometimes we hear these ridiculous demands from people that do not understand the meaning of translation. This is after all what a "translator" must do. "The crierion of 'naturalness' of target-language expression is to preside over any other in attaining the equivalence Through the understanding of the ideas of the source text and the means by which these ideas have been achieved and expressed"

  -> Funny! I just saw this: Average bilingual copywriters transcreator Salary in California: $0000. Does that mean 'transcreators' don't get paid in California or that they don't actually exist?
