What are the responsibilities and job description for the Temporary - Copywriter position at ALLIES OF SKIN?
About Allies Of Skin
Born in 2016 from our founder and formulator Nicolas Travis’s journey healing from traumatic facial injuries, Allies of Skin creates the most effective products to bring continuous improvement, repair, and hope to your skin, no matter your life stage or concerns. Our multifunctional formulas tend to even the trickiest issues with the power of what Nic calls “supercharged clinicals” — maxed-out concentrations of clinically proven actives that do more in less time. Every benefit-packed product taps into the skin’s natural ability to regenerate, maintaining its peak performance far beyond what’s traditionally possible.
About The Role
We are seeking a strategic, detail-oriented Copywriter to join our growing team and help shape the voice of a contemporary, science-backed skincare brand. This role will be responsible for translating clinical innovation, ingredient science, and product efficacy into compelling, consumer-facing narratives that drive engagement, education, and conversion across all channels.
The ideal candidate possesses a rare combination of creative storytelling and scientific curiosity—someone equally comfortable writing a breakthrough product launch campaign as they are crafting a high-performing product detail page. They understand how to elevate complex skincare science into clear, persuasive language while maintaining a premium, sophisticated brand voice. Reporting to the Art Director, this role will partner closely with Brand Marketing, Product Development, E-Commerce, CRM, Social, and Design teams to ensure consistency and excellence across every customer touchpoint.
This role is a temporary position for an initial three-month project period, with the possibility of extension or conversion to full time employment, subject to business requirements and performance.
