Teleion is looking for a Digital Copywriter to join our team! Successful candidates will have strong digital copywriting experience and can work cross-functionally with our client's design, marketing, and product stakeholders to deliver polished, on-brand content.

ABOUT THE ROLE

This role leads an overhaul of copywriting across digital experiences, focused on web, app, and digital marketing surfaces (not print). The goal is copy that feels vibrant, speaks to a broad audience of all ages, and matches brand storytelling and expectations, built specifically for digital surfaces. This is a senior, hands-on role for a copywriter who has led copy for a banking or financial services brand. The right person thinks about SEO/SEM performance and layout/placement as part of the writing process itself, not as an afterthought. They set the standard other writers follow and are comfortable owning copy sprint over sprint in an agile delivery model.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Write, revise, and own copy across digital experiences (web, app, digital marketing surfaces), not print collateral.
• Own copy strategy for assigned product lines or channels, including the SEO content plan and paid messaging approach, not just individual pages.
• Apply SEO/SEM best practices to copywriting, not just brand voice and tone.
• Account for how placement, layout, and sizing affect how copy performs online, adapting writing accordingly.
• Define content guidance for reusable components (length, hierarchy, truncation) in partnership with design.
• Deliver tone that works for a broad, all-ages audience while staying true to brand storytelling, and help define the voice and tone guidance other writers follow.
• Review, mentor, and raise the quality of other writers’ copy.
• Partner with legal and compliance as a senior collaborator. Negotiate wording to protect clarity and brand voice, and build reusable assets such as pre-approved claims and disclosure patterns.
• Plan and interpret copy tests (A/B and variant testing) and present results and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Work within an agile delivery model: size and prioritize copy work, deliver, and remediate based on feedback, sprint over sprint.
• Perform tasks as assigned.

REQUIREMENTS

• Must-have: Financial services background (banking, credit union, credit card, lending/mortgage, or fintech) with copy that went through legal/compliance review.
• 10+ years of digital copywriting, including Lead, Principal, Associate Creative Director, or Copy Lead scope within the last 3 years.
• A portfolio that specifically shows digital/SEO copywriting in banking or financial services, not only brand or print work. This includes keyword-informed page and header structure, meta titles and descriptions, internal-linking-aware writing, and ownership of an SEO content plan with measurable results.
• SEM and paid ad experience: writing and iterating headlines, descriptions, and CTAs for search and paid social, designing A/B test plans or messaging matrices, and running copy experiments in Optimizely or a comparable platform.
• Data-driven: reads performance metrics (CTR, CPA, conversion, engagement) to guide revisions, and presents copy strategy and results to director- and VP-level stakeholders.
• Strong in regulated environments: works smoothly through legal/compliance review cycles and builds in required disclosures while keeping brand voice. Able to flex tone for a wide age range.
• UX writing and microcopy skills (buttons, form fields, error states, in-product copy). Writes with placement, layout, and sizing on digital surfaces in mind, using plain language and WCAG-conscious practices.
• Comfortable in agile/sprint-based delivery with iterative feedback and remediation cycles.
• Working knowledge of a CMS (ideally Optimizely) and SEO tools such as SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Google Search Console.
