We’re hiring a direct-response copywriter to join our marketing team at Teachable.
At Teachable, we help people monetize their expertise by making it easy for them to create, sell and deliver online courses, coaching and other digital products. We need you to help us convince potential course creators to teach what they know—and use Teachable to do it.
If you know you can help us: attract new users to Teachable, then we want you to join our team, and we want to compensate you well.
We’ve found that some of the best copywriters prefer to take their chances with freelance gigs and one-off projects, but they waste a lot of time digging up clients and searching for jobs. In this full-time role here at our snazzy New York office, you’ll be able to spend your day doing what you do best—writing fantastic copy that converts, and resonates with the real humans who use Teachable.
The Role
This role is on the content team, which is part of the larger growth and marketing team, a group of 15+ highly qualified marketers, developers, and designers. (We like to have fun too, don’t worry.) You’ll work closely with this team and become the go-to writer for high-stakes projects that directly support the business.
Responsibilities
Writing a variety of direct-response copy, including:
- Sales letters
- Landing pages
- Sales and nurture emails for all sales and marketing campaigns
- Webinars and webinar promotional emails
- Facebook and google ads
- Sales pages
- Video sales letters
- Website copy
- Other content assets, like lead magnets and other copy for important campaigns
Who You Are
- You have 2–4 years of direct-response copywriting experience in digital products, courses, software, or information products
- You are confident in your ability to tell compelling stories that sell
- You have a deep understanding of direct-response marketing funnels
- You have experience crafting successful offers
- You can explain why you make the copy decisions that you do when collaborating with the rest of the team
- You’re a thoughtful, kind teammate.
- You believe in the Oxford comma. Just kidding, we’re up for a good debate.
