## Requirements

- You’re a senior email copywriter at an agency, or a freelancer who wants a team around you, and you want ownership of the craft
- You want the biggest, highest-volume brands on your desk, not the easy ones
- You like making other writers better, not just doing your own work well

## Description

We are one of the fastest-growing Shopify Retention Agencies and our clients love us for it. We are a small but focused team of people whose main goal is to turn our clients’ one-time buyers into their loyal customers. If you have the same focus and passion for it, then you’re the perfect person for us!
We are a **remote-first** agency which means that your schedule is flexible as long as you can be available at least between **12 and 5 PM CE(S)T** when we’re in the office time zone. Don’t apply if you can’t stick to that schedule!
**Your mission**: be our first dedicated copywriter. Write for our most complex, high-volume DTC brands, and set the copy standard the rest of the agency writes to.

**What you'll do:**

- Write campaigns and flows in Klaviyo for our highest-volume, most complex DTC accounts

- Turn Retention Manager briefs into copy that sells: promo mechanics, product education, launches and seasonal peaks like Black Friday

- Bring new creative ideas to the table, not just execute the brief

- Set the standard: tone-of-voice guides per brand, a best-practice library for common email types, and the AI prompts and workflows the team uses

- Review and give feedback on Retention Manager copy, and coach them so their own writing improves

- Prove out the dedicated-copywriter model, then help us grow it

**What we're looking for (non negotiable):**

- Native English or native Dutch speaker

- 5+ years hands-on writing email/CRM copy for e-commerce or DTC brands: campaigns, flows, promotions, offers and product education

- Agency background: writing for several brands and tones at once, under tight deadlines

- A portfolio of real, sent emails, with results where possible

- You can explain why your copy worked, and what you’d change

**What you'll get:**

- Competitive salary

- Generous paid time off

- Fully remote - work from wherever you do your best work

- Real ownership: you set the copy standard for the whole agency, with a path to lead your own copy team

- Access to all tools, data, courses and coaches you need to get there

- Direct access to founders of the fastest growing e-commerce brands worldwide

**This is for you if:**

- You’re a senior email copywriter at an agency, or a freelancer who wants a team around you, and you want ownership of the craft

- You want the biggest, highest-volume brands on your desk, not the easy ones

- You like making other writers better, not just doing your own work well

**This is not for you if:**

- You want to manage only and stop writing

- Your portfolio is mostly brand, long-form, social or ads copy, with no full emails

- You need constant direction to know what to do next
