Position Overview

Arq Design Studio needs a creative and wickedly-sharp copywriter to help us with our keystone client achieve sales growth for the next 6 months. If you have a passion to write for wellness brands that are ethical, and want to help create a stellar experience for our clients with a female founded studio, we want to hear from you!

Arq services Shopify clients needing custom solutions and semi-custom Shopify experiences, marketing, and more. You can read more about the company, it's founder, and ethos here.

This is a remote position estimated to 30+ hours of work per month (approx. 8 hours a week on average) with the possibility of more ongoing work in the future supporting our ecommerce projects, email campaigns, and more.

We won't accept inquiries from overseas agencies.

This is a remote position, but candidates with writing in the Queens English (now Kings I guess) would be preferred.

The ideal candidate for this position has amazing skills with marketing and communication trends, ecommerce, wellness, a desire to learn, in addition to paying extreme attention to detail.

Acts of service is your love language, and words of affirmations is ours.

Responsibilities:

• Write copy for emails and occasionally other marketing materials for 1-3 clients.
• Understand how to identify, replicate, and/or define brand voice
• Understand email engagement metrics and how copy can impact them
• Understand the types of messages we send and the overarching strategies they are sent within
• Regularly research, apply and document new copywriting techniques and strategies

• Unapologetically obsessed with quality
• Able to make mistakes and learn from them
• Onboard with Arqs values:
• Lead with compassion
• Be radically candid
• Find ways to infuse joy
• Create with integrity

BONUS if you have:

• 3+ years as a copywriter, your copy is flawless, your proofreading is eagle-eyed, and your witty confidence shines through in every word
• You thrive on variety – you can switch from big campaign concepts to teeny-weeny paid ad CTAs and back in a day
• You thrive in a buzzing environment: you work at pace, you meet your deadlines, and you’re keen to collaborate across the business to get every project spot-on

This job isn’t right for you if you:

• Have poor time management
• Hate challenges
• Never have new ideas
• Can’t take feedback
• Can’t be accountable for your work, performance, and actions.

There are no specific experience requirements BUT, you’ll have a stronger application if you have experience in any of these:

• Copywriting
• Content writing
• Engaging writing
• Email marketing
• SEO for ecommerce
• Working remotely

‍What we bring to the table:

• Career-defining opportunity in being instrumental to scaling a brand
• No egos and a small close-knit team
• Mentorship and training
• Truly kind and ethical clientel
