Your opportunity

We’re looking for a creative, talented and driven individual to craft persuasive, actionable and conversational copy for our educational organisation’s marketing campaigns (to attract new learners, engage existing learners and encourage continuing professional education in health and nutrition sciences).

As our Marketing Copywriter, you’ll get to write high-converting ads, email campaigns and landing pages that could pull in millions of pounds, and to script captivating promotional videos that keep viewers hooked and longing for more. This is an opportunity to share your enthusiasm for writing through producing compelling copy that moves and converts.

This role is ideal for you if…

Your responsibilities include:

As a member of our marketing team, your job will be to leverage tested and proven copy and campaign templates, and then apply your skills and creativity to improve their effectiveness.

What you’ll be doing on a day-to-day basis includes:

Meeting with your teammates and Lead Copywriter in the marketing team to discuss campaigns, positioning and messaging
Familiarising yourself with our products, brand voice, target audiences and competitor activities in the market
Actively participating in creative meetings to brainstorm ideas and concepts for the words and visuals to be produced
Writing high-converting ad and email campaigns based on tested and proven templates
Writing sales-page and landing-page copy based on informational content delivered by our science educators and other team members
Preparing and editing direct-response emails, reports, video scripts and presentations
Working with the team to fully develop the copy for new campaigns – from emails to social media ads; optins to sales pages; videos to webinars; FAQs to saved replies
Revising, editing and proof-reading written content as needed
Analysing performance reports and improving campaign copy to increase effectiveness
Documenting and sharing best practices and “working knowledge” with others in the team (and company)

The work WILL be challenging… but it will NEVER be boring!

Your qualifications and experience:

NOTE: While we take into consideration your education, it’s not the only thing that describes your talents. If you think you can do this job, and you can demonstrate it in something you’ve done (previous marketing writing projects, sales materials you’ve created, marketing copy you’ve written), then we want to hear from you.

Your strengths and competencies:

We are looking for applicants who can demonstrate:

Superior writing skills and ability to create easy-to-read, conversational copy
Strong sense of narrative, story-telling and persuasive writing
Outstanding command of both oral and written English

Natural cross-checking and proof-reading tendencies
Ability to quickly spot and fix inconsistencies in any form of content
Both analytical yet creative thinking
Organised with an ability to produce written content to the highest standards
Ability to adapt and improve methods of working so that any mistakes identified are not repeated
Love for marketing and interest in our subject areas is a ‘must’!

Your profile

To be most successful in this role:

You’re passionate about marketing and writing, and you want to learn all about conversion copywriting.
Whether it’s poetry, science fiction or history, you enjoy moving people through your writing. You love creating emotions and experiences through the written word.
You’re an excellent wordsmith. You know what keeps a reader engaged and what ticks them off.
You can write the same message in 10 different ways. Compelling ways.
The thesaurus is your best friend. Always by your side.
You’re constantly searching for those little phrases and triggers that inspire someone to keep reading. You’re a super star at creating intrigue and capturing a reader’s imagination.
You’re fascinated by human psychology and what makes people do or say different things.
You talk in HOWs, not ifs, buts or maybes. You get things done. And you work with a smile.
Your attention to detail is second to none. You spot that needle in the haystack (or a typo) from a mile.
You know that punctuation can change the meaning of a message. You’re in love with the Oxford comma.
You’re a genius communicator. You have an ability to explain complex topics to a 10-year old who in turn successfully explains them to an 8-year old.
You love reading and writing so much, that you lose all sense of time and space when you are on it.
You’re passionate about helping others. You help your family, friends and always want to make time for others where possible.
You love collaborating and feedback (however harsh) is always welcome, either from your boss, a professor or your peers.
You’ll SAVE us time (not waste time). You are a quick learner and known for never repeating the same error twice.
When given a target or goal, you’re able to define the steps needed to make it happen AND you’re able to implement those steps yourself – even if everyone is on holiday.
When you have a deadline, you respect it. Because others depend on your work.
If at first you don’t succeed, you try again. And then again.
You’re dedicated, disciplined and committed. You can’t rest until you get it done.
You love sharing knowledge and new learnings with others in the team (and company).
You thrive with variety, and see it as an opportunity to learn even further.

What’s in it for you?

Learning directly from some of the most brilliant minds in science education, digital pedagogies and direct response marketing
Professional development alongside our talented marketing team, writers, scientists, researchers, developers and team members who are also keen to learn, grow and share their knowledge
High-impact role where you’ll have the autonomy to apply your own creativity and produce high-converting, long-form copy
Making a meaningful contribution to thousands of students – plus their clients, families and friends!

What we offer

We’re looking for someone who can craft persuasive copy as easily as breathing air. We’re already impacting hundreds of thousands of people worldwide – and in the next few years this will be tens of millions. If you’re able to help us accelerate our growth, you’ll reap benefits beyond what many companies can offer.
