Direct Response Copywriter (Performance-Driven | DTC Growth)
Location: Remote
Reports to: Director of Marketing
Company: Truly Free Home
Salary: $80,000 - 100,000
* we will also consider W-2 and/or part time candidates
Role Overview
We're looking for a performance-obsessed Direct Response Copywriter who understands that great copy doesn't just sound good-it converts.
This role sits at the intersection of creative strategy and revenue growth, owning the messaging that drives customer acquisition, retention, and LTV across our DTC channels. You'll write high-converting copy for paid media, email/SMS, landing pages, and funnels-while continuously testing, iterating, and optimizing based on performance data.
For the next 5-6 months, you'll also support blog and SEO content as we expand our organic footprint. This is a temporary component and will not dilute the primary focus on direct response performance.
If you think in hooks, obsess over CTRs and CVRs, and love turning insights into scalable creative-this role is for you.
What You'll Own
Direct Response Copy (Core Focus)
- Write and optimize conversion-driven copy across: Paid social ads (Meta, TikTok, YouTube)
- Email & SMS campaigns and flows
- Landing pages and product detail pages
- Advertorials and funnels
- Develop high-performing hooks, angles, and messaging frameworks
- Partner with creative and media teams to concept and iterate ad creative
- Continuously test variations (headlines, offers, positioning) to improve KPIs
- Analyze performance data and translate insights into new copy directions
Testing & Optimization
- Own copy testing roadmap and iteration cycles
- Identify winning messaging and scale it across channels
- Balance speed and quality-shipping frequently while improving performance
Temporary Blog & SEO Support (5-6 months)
- Write or support blog content aligned with SEO and brand goals
- Translate product and customer insights into educational, conversion-aware content
- Collaborate with SEO or content teams to maintain consistency in voice and messaging
What Success Looks Like
Your copy directly improves conversion rates, CTR, and CAC efficiency
- You consistently generate new winning angles and hooks
- You contribute to scalable creative that drives measurable revenue growth
- You operate with a test → learn → iterate mindset, not "one-and-done" writing
What You Bring
- 3+ years of direct response copywriting experience (DTC or performance marketing preferred)
- Proven track record of writing copy that drives measurable results
- Deep understanding of:
- Customer psychology and buyer intent
- Offers, hooks, and urgency
- Paid social and lifecycle marketing ecosystems
- Experience working closely with paid media, creative, or growth teams
- Comfort using data to inform decisions (you don't need to be an analyst, but you use performance insights)
Bonus Points
- Experience in DTC, CPG, or subscription businesses
- Familiarity with platforms like Klaviyo, Meta Ads, or TikTok Ads
- Exposure to SEO or long-form content strategy
How You Work
- You think like a marketer, not just a writer
- You move fast and iterate faster
- You care about performance over opinions
- You're constantly studying what's working in the market-and applying it
Why This Role is Different
This isn't a traditional copywriting role. You won't be writing in a vacuum-you'll be:
- Directly tied to revenue and growth
- Collaborating with a performance-driven team
- Shipping work that gets tested, measured, and scaled
