We're looking for a Senior Marketing Copywriter to own the words behind Bankrate's marketing channels — from paid social and display to email, landing pages, and direct mail. This is a high\-output, direct response role for someone who writes with intention, tests with rigor, and measures success in clicks, conversions, and revenue. You'll be embedded in the marketing team, working directly with performance and lifecycle managers to translate strategy into copy that moves people to act. You'll help shape the testing agenda, bring your own hypotheses, and use performance data to make your next draft better than your last. **What You’ll Do:** * **Paid social and display copy:** Write headlines, hooks, body copy, and CTAs for ads across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, programmatic display, and streaming/CTV. Build variants designed for testing, with clear differences in angle, tone, and message that generate real signal. * **Creative testing:** Partner with performance managers to develop copy\-driven test hypotheses.

The tenth variant should be as considered as the first. * **Email copy:** Write subject lines, preheaders, and body copy for trigger\-based and broadcast campaigns. Support A/B testing across angles, CTAs, and length. Understand how copy interacts with layout to drive opens and clicks. * **CRO\-focused page copy:** Write and iterate on landing page copy built for conversion. Translate test briefs into distinct treatments — headline, subhead, body, CTA — and use performance data to sharpen each iteration. * **Message hierarchy:** Structure copy to guide attention and reduce friction. Know what to lead with, what to support, and what to cut. * **Direct mail copy:** Write copy for direct mail campaigns — envelope teaser, letter copy, inserts, and response devices. Understand the read patterns and attention dynamics of physical mail and write to them. * **Compliance\-aware writing:** Write effective direct response copy within financial services compliance constraints. Work with legal review processes, incorporate required disclosures without killing conversion, and find the persuasive angle that still clears the bar. **What We’re Looking For:** * **Direct response track record:** Experience writing DR copy with accountability to performance metrics. You've seen the data on your own copy and used it to improve the next round. Portfolio shows breadth across paid ads, email, and landing pages. * **Multi\-channel fluency:** You've written across paid social, email, landing pages, and direct mail and understa
