Assistant Copywriter Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

Position Summary: The Marketing Content Writer is primarily responsible for developing, writing, editing, and publishing long-form marketing content - including websites, landing pages, blogs, articles, email campaigns, advertisements, and sales support materials - for our brands and specialty program business. We're interested in candidates with a journalism or reporting background: people who know how to research a topic, find the angle that matters, and write clean, accurate, engaging copy on deadline. Depending on team needs, this role may also contribute to social media content (copy, light graphics, or scheduling support), so familiarity with social platforms is a plus, but writing is the core of the job.
This position collaborates closely with the Digital Marketing and Program Management teams to produce clear, accurate, on-brand content that drives traffic, builds engagement, grows audience, and supports lead generation and conversion goals.
Essential Tasks:
Content Creation & Copywriting

• Write, edit, and refresh copy for websites, landing pages, blogs, articles, email campaigns, ad copy, print collateral, partner assets, and related marketing materials.
• Develop clear, audience-focused messaging that reflects brand standards while supporting awareness, engagement, and conversion goals.
• Research and translate insurance concepts, product features, and program differentiators into clear, compelling content for external audiences.
• Interview subject matter experts, clients, and program stakeholders to source accurate, credible details for articles and campaign content.
• Support content needs for specialty program launches, campaign updates, and ongoing promotional initiatives.

Social Media Content Creation & Ownership

• Own the social media content process end-to-end: ideation, copywriting, graphic and video creation, and scheduling/publishing.
• Write and design social posts across platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube Shorts) for multiple brands and specialty program lines.
• Develop post concepts and reusable templates that keep content fresh, on-brand, and efficient to produce at volume.
• Create graphics and short-form video/motion content using design and editing tools appropriate to each platform.
• Schedule and publish content using Agorapulse or native platform scheduling tools, maintaining an organized content calendar.
• Tailor tone, format, and messaging for each platform and target audience rather than repurposing one post across all channels.
• Create guest/promotional posts for partner organizations to publish on their own social media profiles.

SEO, Trends & Optimization

• Apply on-page SEO best practices and keyword guidance to improve discoverability and content performance.
• Stay current on social media trends, platform algorithm changes, formats, and best practices, and proactively bring new ideas to the team.
• Apply platform-specific best practices (hashtags, captions, posting cadence, accessibility) to improve reach and engagement.
• Help maintain editorial and social content calendars, content priorities, and publication timelines aligned with marketing campaigns.
• Review, proofread, and refine content for grammar, clarity, tone, accuracy, and brand consistency.
• Monitor performance indicators such as traffic, engagement, search rankings, follower growth, click-through, and conversion signals, and recommend content updates based on insights.
• Support A/B testing of post copy, creative, and formats, and campaign variations, to continually improve results.

Collaboration & Content Support

• Partner with marketers, subject matter experts, designers, and program stakeholders to gather inputs and produce effective content.
• Support Digital Marketing with copy for nurture journeys, campaign assets, calls to action, product launches, and A/B testing variations.
• Assist with content for sales enablement, external publications, event materials, and other audience-facing communications as needed.
