We aren't normal.
We generate leads and sales that create connections, spark conversations, and most importantly, conversions. We do it with the most creative, captivating and catchy written content you will see online today.
This is an exciting opportunity for a sharp, creative and experienced content leader to take the reins of our content team. We move fast and we work digitally, with tools like Google Docs, Monday.com, Slack and Figma at the heart of how we plan, draft, review and deliver. If you like to scribble first ideas on paper, great, but the real work happens online.
This is a leadership role. You will not just write brilliant content, you will build a team that does, set the standards they work to, and own the impact that content has on the business.
About The Role
As our Senior Content Writer, you will lead on:
Team Leadership & Performance
- Lead, manage and develop a team of writers, coaching them to sharpen their craft and consistently do their best work.
- Set clear KPIs, track performance against them, and get the best possible output from the team.
- Present the team's performance, direction and the real impact of its work to leadership, backed by data.
- Be proactive in setting new processes, briefs and standards that make the team faster, sharper and more consistent.
- Own the people side of the team: performance management, resource requests and pay reviews, with consistent follow-through.
- Forecast team capacity and project timelines proactively to spot and prevent bottlenecks before they happen.
Paid Media & Conversion (our top priority)
- Write paid media content that converts: ad copy, landing pages and campaign messaging engineered to drive clicks and high-intent leads.
- Master the hook: scroll-stopping openers and direct-response copy built to win attention in the first second and turn it into action.
- Run a high-volume creative engine, producing and testing many ad variations to scale spend and learn what works fastest.
- Partner with designers in Figma so the written hook and the visual hook work as one.
- Improve conversion rates across our websites with sharper, clearer and more persuasive copy.
- Strengthen our brand on blogs and social media.
