Job Description

Senior Copywriter focused on performance-driven copy across Forbes Advisor's customer journeys. Collaborating with creative leads and data partners in a start-up style environment.

Responsibilities:

  • Write long-form copy across the Forbes-owned customer journeys, including advertorials, landing pages, in-funnel page copy, and on-page persuasion.
  • Script Video Sales Letters (VSLs) for paid social, native, and YouTube placements, particularly in Weight Loss, Debt Relief, Pet Insurance and other direct-response heavy categories.
  • Own customer-lifecycle email copy across Forbes-owned journeys: long-form sales emails, autoresponder sequences, nurture flows, and re-engagement campaigns.
  • Maintain need-state and message coherence from ad to advertorial to landing page to handoff, ensuring the customer journey reads as one continuous piece of persuasion.
  • Work fluently inside compliance rails keeping persuasion and compliance aligned rather than in tension.
  • Collaborate with vertical General Managers, Customer Insights, and Data partners to ground copy in real consumer triggers and performance read-outs.
  • Ship multiple drafts a week and iterate from data, not opinion.
  • Provide regular updates on copy performance and craft initiatives to the Creative leadership team.
  • Occasionally partner with Creative Leads on ad copy, contributing hooks, angles, and headline systems where they sharpen the journey.

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of long-form direct-response copywriting experience in performance-driven environments (DTC, supplement, FinServ DR, health DR, or comparable).
  • Portfolio of advertorials, VSLs, sales pages, or long-form sales emails with clear performance attribution.
  • Mastery of long-form persuasion architecture: hook craft, story, mechanism, proof, transition, and CTA.
  • Working command of the modern direct-response canon.
  • AI-augmented writing fluency.
  • Regular use of LLMs (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) for research, drafting, iteration, and structured prompting across long-form formats.
  • Editorial voice fluency.
  • Demonstrated email and CRM copywriting experience: long-form sales emails, autoresponder sequences, and nurture flows.
  • Demonstrated speed and volume in performance marketing environments.
  • Strong collaboration skills across Creative, Buying, vertical GMs, Editorial, and Brand.
  • Self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable in a start-up style operating environment.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills.
