TITLE: Email marketing copywriter

SALARY: £38,000 a year (plus bonuses available)

HOURS: 9-5 Mon-Fri (flexi available)

LOCATION: Work from home. UK based applications only.

HOLIDAYS: Bank holidays + 25 days per year (including two weeks off over Christmas)

START DATE: October 2026

JOB TYPE: Full-time permanent The job:

Helllooooooo.

We’re buzzing you’re considering working with us. I know the job search can be brutal, so we’ve tried to make this as easy as possible for you to get the info you need and apply. On The Kusp is a growing digital agency based in the toon (Newcastle upon Tyne). You’ll come up every now and then for training, and we do away days in London sometimes, but for the most part, you’d be working remotely from home.

We specialise in email marketing (and some sales page copywriting). We work with clients all over the world (LA, Sydney, London – I know. Fancy 💁🏻‍♂️).

Our specialist area is email launches. We launch apps, software, coaching programmes, communities and courses. We're more B2B leaning than B2C.

Our clients expect us to write emails that make them money. So you must have strong direct response skills and be able to demonstrate those in the examples you'll send me.

Experience in the coaching niche is a must. Experience with email and launch strategy would be amazing. I'm looking for strong examples of storytelling and sales emails, using interesting angles and sharp copy.

You'll be working with myself (Alex, the founder) and our head of strategy.

IMPORTANT –> We don't work with ecommerce brands – so if you're looking for an ecommerce email job, this is not for you.

About You:

To thrive in this role:
  • You already have 3+ years of experience writing direct-response copy for apps/coaches/consultants/course creators/memberships.
  • You will have some experience with email launch and funnel strategy
  • You'll know how to write copy for things like webinar funnels, nurture sequences, and launches
  • You’re open to feedback and buzz off continually developing your writing skills.
  • You'll love testing new ideas and approaches.
  • You’re happy writing for and managing multiple clients with different tones of voice.
  • You want to mainly work Monday – Friday 9am to 5pm (flexible hours are available).
  • You’ll be happy working from home, but will enjoy the odd 2-3 day in-person training up in Newcastle (expenses paid, obv).
  • You’ve got a good sense of humour and no BS approach, which you love bringing into your writing.
  • You’ve got an eye for detail. Better than mine, hopefully 😂
  • You have creative ideas and love sharing them.
  • You'll be super organised.
  • You wouldn't dream of asking AI to write an email for you.
The perks:
  • Work from home
  • Occasional training at HQ in Newcastle
  • 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays)
  • Fast progression opportunities
  • Bonuses upon passing probation (and at Christmas)
To apply: Send me an email (alex@actcopywriting.co.uk) following the below instructions. DO NOT use the LinkedIn 'Easy Apply' feature or I won't see your application.

Any applications that don't follow the below instructions won't be considered. This feels well harsh, but it's important.

Step one –

The subject line of your email application must be "September 2026: Your new copywriter".

Step two –

In the body copy of your email application, tell me a bit about yourself and why you're a good fit for this role. Remember, this is an email marketing job. So put a good email together. Please also include your available start date.

Step three –

In the body copy of your email application, rate how comfortable you are with the following software on a scale of 0-10 (where 0 is never heard of it and 10 is an absolute expert):

  • Kit
  • GHL
  • MYANI
  • Asana
Step four – Attach your CV.

Step five – The most important bit

Attach at least three examples of your best and most effective writing. If you have examples of writing for coaches / membership community founders / course creators then this is great. If not, share other examples.

Note – Please only include examples you've personally written. I will follow up with anyone you claim to have written for and will ask you about your examples during our interview.

IMPORTANT (again) - Unless you follow the instructions above exactly, we can't review your application.

The process from here:

If you're offered an interview and pass that stage, there will be a timed test where I'll set a brief and will ask you to write an email to showcase your skills.

This will be two hours.

I will pay you £100 for your time for this test (because it's a bit shitty when agencies don't pay for timed tests, isn't it?).

Cheers :)
