Social Media Content Strategist & Copywriter
$4,000 to $5,000/month · US-based, fully remote · 9am to 5pm PST · Contract to W-2
The short version
We need a copywriter who's great at organic short-form content: reels, TikToks, Shorts. You'll come up with the ideas, write the hooks and scripts, and make sure the final video sounds like a real person talking.
Organic is the core of this job, but it isn't the whole job. We also write ad scripts, VSLs, landing pages, emails and texts for our clients. The person we want most is comfortable across all of it. If organic is your strength and you're newer to the rest, we can help train you, but someone who already writes long-form and paid copy has an advantage for this role.
IMPORTANT: We know you’ll use AI and encourage it. HOWEVER, if you cannot tell AI what AI-written content looks and sounds like, this is not the role for you. We use AI for speed and efficiency, but we need someone who is comfortable with AI and creative in copywriting, so they don't need it to write good copy.

Why organic comes first
Organic short-form is the hardest copy to write. It has a structure, but it has to be short, it has to hold attention with no ad budget behind it, and it has to sound like someone talking to a friend. Most copywriters can't do it. Their stuff reads like an ad (or worse like AI slop), and people scroll past ads.
Ad scripts, VSLs, landing pages and emails use the same skill with a different structure and more room. That's why we want one person writing all of it. The best paid content we run looks exactly like the content people follow by choice, and the landing page should sound like the video that sent them there.
Everything we make, paid or organic, has to pass one test. Would it work as an organic post?
What success looks like
First 30 days
- You know every active client's voice, offer and audience well enough to write without a briefing call.
- You're shipping short-form scripts at full volume, and they only need light edits.
- You've pitched at least one idea nobody asked for, and it got made.
First 60 days
- Your organic and paid copy needs slight reviews, not a rewrite.
- You're giving working with our media buyer enough hooks and variants that testing never stalls waiting on copy.
- You've shipped a VSL or long-form sales script that's live and getting traffic.
First 90 days
- You're running content direction for the client book with light oversight.
- Something you wrote moved a real number, and you can point to which piece and why.
- The team pulls from your swipe file.
We measure hold rate and watch time on your content, how your hooks do against the current winner, whether you ship on time, the conversion rate on the pages and email sequences you write, and how much of your first drafts we have to rewrite.
This probably isn't for you if
- Your content looks like an ad.
- You only want to write for social and don't want to touch ads or sales copy.
- Your scripts read fine on the page but fall apart when someone says them out loud.
- You need someone to hand you the idea before you can write.
- You plan to paste in AI output and call it done.
- You've never posted anything yourself, or you learned social from a course.
- You want a quiet remote job to coast in.
How we work
