Direct Response Writer & Creative Lead

Who are we?

The Motley Fool is a purpose-driven financial services company on a mission to make the world smarter, happier, and richer. For 30 years we've been helping people take control of their financial futures—through transparency, education, and a healthy dose of Foolishness. We're a fast-moving, collaborative team that values high-quality work, curiosity, and initiative. We care deeply about what we do, and we're driven by the impact our work has on real people's lives.

What does this team do?

Our Back-End Direct Response team is responsible for some of the highest-stakes copy at The Motley Fool. We write for a specific kind of reader: the experienced investor with a serious portfolio—typically $500K or more in investable assets—who's already paying for our products and is hungry for the next great opportunity. These are not people who need convincing that investing matters. They need to be convinced that this opportunity is the one they can't afford to miss.

The team produces the long-form, premium content that drives upgrades into our highest-tier products: think hour-long Video Sales Letters, 5,000–8,000-word order pages, and week-long email campaigns. The bar is high—and so is the upside.

What would you do in this role?

We’re looking for a senior Direct Response Writer & Creative Lead to own the full arc of back-end upgrade campaigns—from Big Idea → positioning → execution → iteration.

This is not a “fill in the brief” role. You’ll be expected to:

• Generate original campaign concepts
• Identify compelling market narratives
• Shape how we position opportunities to our most engaged members

You’ll work closely with investment analysts, marketers, and creative partners to bring those ideas to life across channels.
