Role Description
As Cro Metrics continues to scale its integrated growth marketing services, the creative team is expanding to meet rising demand across paid media, CRO experimentation, website design, and lifecycle marketing. This role is part of a strategic hiring plan to bring on reliable, high-quality creative talent that strengthens our ability to deliver hypothesis-driven, conversion-focused copy across every client touchpoint.
This is a conversion copywriting role. You'll write the words that go inside paid ads, landing pages, experiments, and email campaigns, primarily for B2B and B2C clients. Every line you write has a hypothesis behind it and a test in front of it. You'll also build and manage brand-specific AI writing agents that scale our copy output while preserving voice integrity. You'll work closely with strategists, designers, and analysts to produce copy that moves metrics, not just reads well.
This is a long-term fractional contractor role. Most contractors stay on contract, as the relationship is designed to be sustainable at part-time hours, which flex with client contract cycles. Conversion to full-time employment happens selectively when there's a clear business need and mutual interest. Either way, we're looking for someone we can build with long-term.
What You'll Do
-
Write paid media ad copy across platforms (Meta, Google, LinkedIn), including headlines, descriptions, and creative copy that drives clicks and conversions.
-
Produce landing page copy from briefs and wireframes, collaborating with designers to ensure messaging and layout work together.
-
Write conversion-focused copy for A/B tests, including headline variants, CTA copy, value proposition rewrites, and messaging hierarchy tests.
-
Write email and SMS copy for lifecycle campaigns (welcome flows, abandoned cart, win-back, promotional sends) within client brand voice guidelines.
-
Rewrite underperforming copy based on test results and analytics, diagnosing what's not working and proposing data-informed alternatives.
-
Adapt quickly to new client brand voices, absorbing voice guides and existing copy to produce on-brand work from the first deliverable.
-
Collaborate closely with strategists on hypothesis development, ensuring your copy is the execution layer of their experimentation roadmap.
-
Manage your workload across multiple concurrent clients and projects, communicating proactively about capacity, timelines, and blockers.
-
Use AI tools to accelerate drafting, variant generation, and research while maintaining the craft, originality, and strategic rigor that make great copy.
-
Build, train, and manage brand-specific AI writing agents, creating custom prompts, voice calibration files, and guardrails to ensure AI output stays on-brand.
