You bring the talent; we bring the opportunity.

We are launching a new financial application and are looking for an exceptional Senior Copywriter who can move with urgency, think in systems, and write with precision and purpose. This is not a traditional copywriter role, as we need someone who deeply understands how words shape experience, trust, and action across every touchpoint of a digital product.

You will work alongside brand strategists, UX designers, product managers, and engineers to craft the voice of a brand from the ground up and bring it to life. If you thrive in fast-moving, high-stakes environments and have a passion for making complex financial concepts feel clear and human, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the development of brand voice, tone guidelines, and messaging frameworks from discovery through launch.
• Write across the full product ecosystem — onboarding flows, UI microcopy, error states, notifications, marketing campaigns, and beyond.
• Collaborate closely with UX designers to ensure copy and design work as a unified system, not separate layers.
• Translate complex financial concepts into plain, compelling language that builds trust with a broad US audience.
• Develop and maintain a consistent brand narrative across web, mobile, email, social, and paid channels.
• Participate in cross-functional sprint planning and creative reviews, iterating quickly based on feedback.
• Partner with compliance and legal teams to ensure all copy meets regulatory requirements in the financial services space.
• Contribute to content strategy decisions, including naming, taxonomy, and information architecture.

What You Bring

•  7+ years of professional copywriting experience, with meaningful work in both brand and UX contexts required
• A strong portfolio demonstrating work across digital products, campaigns, and brand systems — ideally including financial services, fintech, or other regulated industries
• Deep understanding of UX writing principles: microcopy, content design, user flows, and accessibility considerations
• Proven ability to define and sustain brand voice at scale — from headline to help text
• Experience working in agile, cross-functional product teams with fast turnaround cycles
• Excellent instincts for what resonates with real people — particularly those navigating money, trust, and long-term decisions
• Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to make confident creative decisions in a launch environment
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative spirit — you give and receive feedback graciously
• Experience with fintech, banking, wealth management, or insurance products
• Familiarity with design tools such as Figma or content management platforms
• Exposure to A/B testing, content analytics, or conversion-focused writing
• Understanding of SEO best practices and how they intersect with brand voice

Salary Range: $80,000-$94,500 (depending on experience and other job-related factors)
