Freelance Copywriter at The Cake – $55/hr
Job Title: Freelance Copywriter
Type: Freelance, 20–40 hrs/week
Start: ASAP (within 1–2 weeks)
Length: 3+ months with potential extension
Location: Remote (US-based)
Compensation: Up to $55/hr DOE
A fast-paced fintech organization is seeking a Freelance Copywriter to support upcoming product launches and high-volume marketing initiatives. This role requires a confident, versatile writer who can move fluidly between long-form and short-form copy, actively participate in cross-functional discussions, and take ownership of work from concept through execution.
This is not a behind-the-scenes role — the Copywriter will be a visible, collaborative contributor across product, design, and marketing teams.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:
- Write crisp, compelling copy across short-form and long-form formats, including:
- Blog posts and content marketing
- Landing pages
- Paid social and display ads
- Email campaigns and promotional website copy
- Develop strong headlines and messaging that align with fintech products and user needs
- Collaborate closely with design, product, and marketing partners in active working sessions
- Participate in meetings, reviews, and brainstorms — contributing ideas, not just executing tasks
- Manage feedback from multiple stakeholders and confidently defend copy decisions
- Proactively identify opportunities, raise ideas, and take ownership of assigned workstreams
- Support high-volume initiatives tied to product launches, seasonal campaigns, and major moments (e.g., Black Friday, New Year)
MUST-HAVES (DON’T APPLY WITHOUT THESE):
- 2+ years of professional copywriting experience in a collaborative environment (agency or in-house)
- Strong portfolio required, including headline samples
- Experience writing for fintech or financial products
- Ability to write both long-form and short-form copy across multiple channels
- Comfortable receiving feedback, iterating quickly, and working with cross-functional teams
- Availability to work 25–40 hours/week, with flexibility as workload fluctuates
- Legally authorized to work in the US (no sponsorship available)
YOU’LL STAND OUT IF YOU…
- Have experience in B2B or B2C fintech environments
- Have supported product launches or high-traffic marketing moments
- Can clearly articulate which portfolio work you personally owned vs. team-led efforts
- Bring a proactive mindset — raising your hand when you see opportunities instead of waiting for assignments
- Are equally strong in content marketing and performance-driven advertising copy
