About the role

Our online store is where thousands of customers meet our range of Bibles, books and gifts every day — and the words on those pages do the selling. We're looking for a copywriter with a strong editor's eye to own that copy: writing fresh product descriptions, tightening the ones we've inherited, and keeping one consistent voice across the whole catalogue.

This is a mid-level role, equal parts writing, and editing. You've done this work before and don't need to be taught the fundamentals — you'll be trusted to set the standard for product copy and be the last set of eyes before it goes live.

What you'll do

  • Write and optimize product descriptions, category pages and collection copy for the online store
  • Edit and proofread copy from buyers, suppliers, and marketing — grammar, accuracy, house style, consistency
  • Build and maintain our style guide, and keep product data clean and correctly described
  • Apply practical on-page SEO: keyword research, titles, meta descriptions, internal linking
  • Write supporting copy for email campaigns, promotions, and on-site banners
  • Work closely with buyers, the ecommerce team and marketing to get new ranges online accurately and on time

What you'll bring

  • 3–5 years' experience in copywriting, copy editing, or ecommerce content
  • Excellent written English
  • A genuinely sharp eye for detail — typos bother you
  • Solid working knowledge of SEO fundamentals for ecommerce
  • Confidence with spreadsheets, and with a CMS, PIM, or ERP (NetSuite experience is a plus)
  • The organization to juggle many small deliverables at once and hit deadlines without being chased
  • Familiarity with the Christian book, Bible and gift market, and comfort writing for that audience

 

Nice to have

  • Exposure to Shopify, WooCommerce or a similar platform
  • Experience owning or contributing to a brand style guide
  • A portfolio of published product or brand copy

What we offer

  • Hybrid working — 1 – 2 days (per week) in office
  • A permanent and full-time role
