Job Summary

  • Translate briefs and brand strategy into high-converting copy
  • Lead testing cycles and apply results to lift performance
  • Align voice with customer avatars and segments

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Sales copy across ad creative, sales letters, VSL scripts, and email
  • Headlines, hooks, and CTAs that get people to act
  • Turning creative briefs and brand strategy into copy that converts across the whole customer journey, not just a single asset
  • Ad copy written in partnership with the paid media team, aimed at strong CTR and ROAS
  • Ad copy that adapts across different hooks, angles, and awareness stages
  • Market research into audience pain points, desires, and objections
  • A live view of competitor copy and industry trends, feeding fresh angles into your own work
  • Customer avatars, used to sharpen tone, targeting, and messaging
  • Testing and iteration: running structured tests on copy and using the results to keep improving

Requirements

  • 5+ years writing direct response copy, with campaigns you can point to
  • A track record of copy that's moved CPA, CTR, or ROAS in a measurable way
  • Experience writing for Facebook Ads, Google Ads, email, and VSLs
  • A real understanding of conversion principles and buying psychology, not just the theory
  • Range: able to write in different tones and voices for different audiences
  • Comfort with performance data; A/B testing and iterating based on results is second nature
  • Not precious about your work: most tests won't win, and you iterate fast rather than defending a line that isn't working
  • Nice to have: experience in the pet category or subscription/DTC growth
