JOB OVERVIEW

Can you write copy that doesn't just engage readers... but COMPELS them to take action?

We are a growing marketing agency seeking an exceptional Direct Response Copywriter who can consistently deliver high-converting copy across (e.g., Meta Ads, Email Sequences, and Sales Pages/VSLs).

While many claim these skills, we are specifically looking for a human-first strategist who knows how to dig deep into audience research to find emotional triggers that AI tools simply cannot replicate.

The Role

As our Direct Response Copywriter, you will:

- Conduct Deep Voice-of-Customer (VoC) Research: Mine customer reviews, forum discussions, and audience data to unearth raw emotional hooks, angles, and real customer language.

- Craft High-Converting Copy: Write persuasive copy across ads, landing pages, email sequences, YouTube videos, and more

- Hook & Hold Attention: Write attention-grabbing headlines, angles, and hooks that break through pattern recognition.

- Drive Measurable Action: Write clear, compelling calls-to-action that systematically improve click-throughs and conversion rates.

- Master Voice & Tone: Rapidly adapt voice and positioning to fit diverse client industries without relying on generic, formulaic templates.

- Collaborate & Optimize: Partner with our design and strategy team to test, refine, and iterate on copy based on live performance data.

Requirements

- 2+ years of professional direct response copywriting experience with an emphasis on funnels (ads, landing pages, and emails)

- Proven Track Record: Ability to demonstrate campaigns that generated measurable leads or sales (case studies, percentage lifts, or anonymized client data accepted).

- Research Mastery: Deep understanding of persuasive psychology and a proven framework for digging up real customer insights (not just prompting AI).

- Flawless English Skills: Native-level written English skills with a mastery of tone, cadence, and conciseness.

- Proactive Communicator: You proactively flag potential deadline bottlenecks and collaborate openly with team leads.

You're Perfect for This Role If:

- You understand the deep psychological reasons why people buy (and know how to write past surface-level features).

- You've studied and applied core principles from direct response legends (Halbert, Schwartz, Hopkins, Carlton, etc.).

- You use AI as a fast research assistant, but rely on your own brain for strategic hooks, nuance, and emotional storytelling.

- You care about numbers and love seeing performance data validate your writing choices.

Application Requirements (ALL REQUIRED):

- 2–3 Direct Response Writing Samples: Submit your best work. If bound by an NDA, anonymized samples, screenshot metrics, or percentage lifts (e.g., "Increased CTR by 40%") are completely acceptable.

- 1–2 Minute Voice/Loo ---------- ssage: Briefly introduce yourself and share your exact process for conducting Voice-of-Customer (VoC) research before writing copy.

What We Offer:

- Competitive Rates: $20–$35 per hour, reflecting true expertise and ROI capabilities.

- Long-Term Stability: Consistent, full-time work (40 hours weekly).

- Flexibility: Work asynchronously with a few core overlap hours for strategy alignment.

- Respectful Environment: Direct communication, actionable feedback, and respect for your craft.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We test applicants strictly on research depth and emotional messaging. Generic, AI-generated applications or templated cover letters will be rejected immediately.
