Ecommerce Copywriter (Copy Editor)

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.

• 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

• 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

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