Direct Response Copywriter - remote

Clever Investor
Posted 3 years ago
Do you find yourself constantly critiquing emails, landing pages, sales letters, video scripts, and ads because you KNOW you could’ve written them better?

Have you studied the likes of Gary Halbert, John Carlton, Clayton Makepeace, Gary Bencivenga, Joe Sugarman, David Ogilvy, Dan Kennedy, etc.?

Are you looking to pair your love of copywriting with an organization that LOVES direct response marketing and wants to showcase your specific and unique skill set?

If you answered yes to the above, you may be JUST the Copywriter we're looking for!

We're looking to hire for a new full-time position located in sunny Tempe, AZ. We are expanding from local to remote candidates (within the US) so everyone is encouraged to apply.

Our ideal candidate must possess a commitment to excellence, striving to be the best at what they do, is a collaborative spirit, and is skilled and imaginative, with an eye for detail and the ability to grasp project requirements quickly, in order to deliver fun, informative, factual, effective and engaging content across our platforms.

Was that sentence too long? How would you have changed it? :)

You're not afraid of rolling up your sleeves when the time comes, and you love a challenge because you know 
that's the only way you'll get better at what you do.

You may even consider yourself an "intrapreneur" because you love what entrepreneurship stands for but you would prefer to be behind the scenes. However, you still want to affect change in the world while simultaneously seeing your work showcased to thousands of people at any given time.

In fact, you love that idea deep down, don't you? Don't lie, I won't tell.
