Copy Lead

Alma is looking for a Copy Lead to own the words across campaigns, ads, emails, brand voice, product copy, and everything in between.

This is not a maintenance role; it is an opportunity to build a voice from the ground up and make it impossible to ignore. As we transform the creative team from a support function into a strategic growth driver, you will shape the future of a leading mental health brand by breaking the mold of traditional healthcare marketing.

Reporting to the Senior Creative Director, you will sit at the center of Alma’s creative ambition. You will partner on high-level campaign development and then lead the hands-on execution of those concepts through launch and the iterations beyond. You will be the primary architect of how Alma speaks, ensuring our message is bold, memorable, and category-leading.

What you’ll do:

• Lead copy development from brief to launch—concepting with the creative team and executing across paid media, web, email, and product touchpoints.
• Write and edit high-performance copy for channels including Meta, LinkedIn, Google, and OOH, balancing performance optimization with distinct brand building.
• Develop messaging frameworks and copy guidelines that empower cross-functional partners to create on-brand work independently.
• Collaborate with Product and Growth teams to ensure all business-wide copy reflects Alma’s positioning with clarity and specificity.
• Review and provide feedback on copy from freelancers and external partners to maintain rigorous quality and tonal standards.
• Lead brand positioning work, including messaging architecture and tonal development, to establish a differentiated territory in the market.

Who you are:

• You have 5–8 years of experience in copywriting or brand strategy (agency, in-house, or startup) with a portfolio that demonstrates range across integrated campaigns and voice development.
• You are a prolific creator who can generate a high volume of strong concepts quickly and move from raw idea to polished copy without getting stuck in the "middle."
• You are fluent in both strategy and craft, comfortable shifting from high-level positioning frameworks to the granular execution of a conversion email.
• You have a fearless appetite for taking creative risks and pushing for distinct messaging, even when it means challenging safe or traditional approaches.
• You are an exceptional editor who writes copy that is behaviorally grounded, specific, and creates immediate brand recognition.
• You are energized by ambiguity and the challenge of building a verbal identity and organizational systems that don't exist yet.
• You are a collaborative communicator who can clearly articulate the strategic "why" behind your copy to creative partners, product teams, and leadership.
• You do not need to have experience in the mental healthcare space.

Benefits:

• We’re a remote-first company
• Health insurance plans through Aetna (medical and dental) and MetLife (vision), including FSA and HSA plans
• 401K plan (ADP)
• Lifestyle Spending Account for health, wellness, and family care
• Monthly co-working space membership stipend
• Monthly work-from-home stipend
• Financial wellness benefits through Northstar
• Pet discount program through United Pet Care
• Financial perks and rewards through PerkSpot
• EAP access through Aetna
• One-time home office stipend to set up your home office
• Inclusive family and medical leave plans
• 12 paid holidays and 1 Alma Give Back Day
• Flexible PTO 

Salary Band: $115,000 - $145,000
