Job Description
Senior Copywriter (Editorial \& Strategy Focus)
Most marketing copy today is “fine.”
Technically correct. Grammatically sound. Even SEO\-optimized.
And completely forgettable.
We’re not looking for someone who can produce more of that.
We’re looking for a writer who can **tell the difference between acceptable copy and effective copy—and knows how to close that gap.**
**About the Role**
This is not a high\-volume content production role.
It’s an editorial and strategic role focused on improving the quality, clarity, and effectiveness of messaging across our client work—especially in an AI\-assisted environment.
You’ll spend as much time **editing, refining, and challenging content** as you will writing it.
You’ll work across campaigns, websites, and content initiatives for financial institutions and other regulated industries—helping translate complex topics into clear, persuasive, and human communication.
**What You’ll Actually Do**
* Write and refine marketing copy across web, email, social, and campaign assets
* Edit and elevate existing content—often AI\-assisted drafts—into clear, effective, on\-brand messaging
* Identify when copy is “technically correct” but strategically weak—and fix it
* Collaborate with strategists, designers, and account teams to align messaging with audience, intent, and business goals
* Maintain and enforce brand voice across multiple clients and contributors
* Translate complex financial concepts into simple, accurate, and engaging communication
* Apply SEO/GEO best practices without sacrificing clarity or quality
**How You Think (This Matters More Than Tools)**
* You can quickly spot the difference between copy that *works* and copy that just *exists*
* You understand why something is being written—not just what it says
* You are comfortable questioning and rewriting work that doesn’t meet the bar
* You value clarity, tone, and intent over volume and speed
**What You Bring**
* 4\+ years of professional writing experience (agency experience strongly preferred)
* Proven experience writing for financial institutions, fintech, or other regulated industries
* Strong editorial instincts and line\-editing skills
* Ability to distill complex topics into clear, audience\-friendly messaging
* Solid understanding of SEO/GEO and content strategy
* Experience working in WordPress or similar CMS platforms
* Strong research, organization, and time management skills
Benefits:
* 401(k) matching
* Health insurance
* Paid time off
* Retirement plan
* Unlimited paid time off
Experience:
* professional writing: 4 years (Required)
Work Location: Remote
