Overview

Obsessed with words? (But like, not in an unhealthy way?) Because we’re looking for a conversion copywriter who knows how to put ‘em to use in all manner of marketing materials, from the simplest CTA button to the most daunting drip email sequence. If you’re ready to really strut your linguistic stuff by writing copy that compels people to action, this is the opportunity you’ve been looking for!

About You

Novel? What novel? You’d rather write the next great American landing page – something that’ll catch eyes, stoke curiosity, and get people to put their clicky-fingers to work. That’s because you’ve got experience writing copy designed specifically to convert, so the readers of your brilliant wordsmithery can’t help but feel compelled to take action.

In this position, you’ll be writing things like:

  • Web pages
  • Marketing and retention emails
  • A weekly newsletter that reaches 106k+
  • Tasteful limericks
  • Ad copy

Like those well-dressed young men who keep distributing literature in your neighborhood, our copy is on a mission. Fortunately, you love writing, testing, and optimizing so that every last detail guides readers in the right direction!

That means you speak the language of marketing – although speaking the language of Klingon also comes in surprisingly handy. You’re well-versed in how to write compelling email subject lines, the varying benefits of short and long landing pages, and which fork to use for the salad at a high-class dinner. Wherever someone may be in the marketing funnel, you know how to write copy that makes them want to actually do stuff.

Edgar isn’t just known for what he does, though – he’s got a strong personality and a recognizable voice, and that means you have to be as adaptable as a Swiss Army knife, and preferably less likely to cut someone. Fortunately, you can slip into a brand’s voice like a velour tracksuit, and stick to a style guide like cat hair to a velour tracksuit. By writing with both CRO and a distinct brand voice in mind, you’re able to create copy that does its job, but with a little panache – like a teppanyaki chef, but with fewer work-related burns.

About MeetEdgar

We’re a small team of 20-ish people, all working remotely across the US & Canada. We do a lot of collaborating and meme-swapping on Slack, along with virtual team meetings and super-futuristic video calls. We also do a twice-annual retreat week where we work together on cool projects all day and rock the karaoke mic all night. (Spoiler alert: This means you have to be willing and able to travel to those retreats! The karaoke, however, is optional.)

We’re proudly bootstrapped and profitable, which means we get to turn down VC money a lot and keep doing things the way we like. We’re pretty serious about building and maintaining an awesome, positive company culture, so, you know, no jerks.

We'll probably get along if you’re someone who wants to be creative, have a pretty-serious-but-not-inhuman amount of responsibility, and work with people who make going to work not suck. (And be one of those people yourself. We like those people.)
