About the role

This is the writing that has a number attached. A landing page that has to produce calls, an ad that has to earn a click, a homepage that has to explain a business in one screen.

Most of the job happens before the writing: working out who is reading, what they are worried about, and what the business is actually better at. The words come out of that rather than out of a tone of voice document.

There is no closing date on this role. Applications are read in the order they come in.

People in this role work on Seed Light's Content Marketing projects.

Responsibilities

  • Write landing pages, homepages and service pages built to produce enquiries
  • Write ad copy for search and social, in sets so the angles can be tested
  • Write the sales emails and the sequences behind an offer
  • Interview a client for long enough to find what makes them different
  • Rewrite vague or generic copy into something specific and useful

Requirements

  • Work you can show that had a job to do, and did it
  • You can write short. Cutting is most of the craft
  • You understand an offer well enough to argue with it
  • You write for the reader rather than for the client who approves it
  • You can take an edit, and a result that disagrees with your favourite line

Nice to have

  • You have written copy that ran as paid advertising with real budget behind it
  • You have worked on a page you were able to test rather than only publish
  • You can write for both a trade business and a premium brand without one voice for both

Tools

Google Docs, Figma, GA4, Hotjar or Clarity, Meta Ads Manager. The licences and subscriptions the job needs are paid for, and knowing every one of these already is not expected.

Your first three months

  • Month 1. Page and ad copy against existing briefs, edited closely on structure.
  • Month 2. You run the client conversation yourself and write from it.
  • Month 3. You own the copy on new builds and the offers behind the campaigns.

Questions about this role

Questions candidates usually ask before applying. If yours is not here, add it to the message box on the form.

The content writer produces search-led guides, articles and answer pages. This role writes persuasive copy for ads, campaigns and commercial pages.

Yes. State which role you prefer and why your work fits it. Applying to both without a preference makes it harder to understand where you would contribute most.

No, frameworks are useful for a first draft and obvious in a finished one. What is expected is that a page reads like a person who understood the business wrote it.

Research normally includes a client call and the questions real customers ask. The copywriter also reviews the offer, existing pages and any available campaign evidence. More research is added when a claim cannot be supported or the brief leaves a key gap.

Yes, where the page or campaign can be measured. You will see which version generated attention, enquiries or sales and use that evidence in later work.

Application samples should include two pieces: one that sold something and one you would rewrite now. Add a line explaining what you would change in the second piece, so the submission includes both completed sales copy and your current view of earlier work.
