Marketing Writer (Financial Focus) - Remote F/T

Marketing Writer – Remote F/T

Do you have a knack for crafting powerful, results-driven marketing copy? Are you ready to elevate brands with creative storytelling that converts?

If you're an experienced copywriter who thrives on creating compelling content across digital, print, and social channels and has deep familiarity with the financial industry, and you have hands-on experience writing and publishing within WordPress, we want you on our team!

Our ideal candidate brings proven expertise in SEO strategy and geo-targeted content development (GEO) to ensure every piece not only engages readers but also drives measurable results — especially in highly regulated, detail-driven industries like finance.

Who We Are:

LIGHTSTREAM is a full-service creative agency located in the Philadelphia suburbs. Through our proven brand-building process, well-conceived marketing plans that reach business goals, and strategically sound execution of digital and print components, we help our clients rise above their competitors.

We want to add an experienced writer to our team. The right candidate will join a team of writers and editors who produce high-quality, creative marketing content for our clients in various channels — with a strong emphasis on financial institutions, financial services, and other regulated industries.

This writer will need to be an expert in quickly researching new topics, distilling complex financial and technical information into easy-to-read communications, and managing multiple deadlines at once.

Who You Are:

• A wordsmith who can bring brands to life with creative copy that turns heads and drives results.
• A content marketing professional with demonstrated, hands-on experience writing for the financial industry (banks, credit unions, financial institutions, fintech, or financial education).
• Someone who understands how to communicate complex financial concepts clearly, accurately, and compliantly for consumer and business audiences.
• A forward-thinker who embraces new tools, trends, and technologies to stay ahead of the curve.
• Someone who is highly familiar and comfortable using AI-powered tools for ideation, outlining, drafting, and editing — AI literacy is essential to success in this role.
• Someone with strong knowledge of SEO/GEO and experience writing and publishing copy within the WordPress platform.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive Salary: $65,000–$75,000 to start (depending on experience), with opportunities for performance-based bonuses and regular raises.
• Cutting-Edge Environment: Collaborate with a talented team leveraging AI tools to meet and exceed industry best practices.
• Flexible Work: Enjoy a fully remote role with a dynamic, supportive team. (And our Telford office is always open to you, in case you live nearby!)
• Growth Opportunities: Develop professionally while working on impactful campaigns for financial institutions and other diverse industries.

Responsibilities:

• Create dynamic, brand-aligned content across multiple formats, including email, social media, blogs, web copy, and print — with a significant focus on financial-industry clients.
• Lead the charge in short- and long-form copywriting, translating complex financial topics into clear, persuasive, audience-friendly messages.
• Collaborate across teams to brainstorm fresh ideas and maintain brand consistency.
• Use AI tools as a core part of your process — from concepting and outlines to tone tuning and performance optimization.
• Stay ahead of content trends, SEO/GEO strategies, and emerging marketing technologies — including evolving standards and expectations within the financial sector.

What You’ll Bring to the Table:

• 4+ years of professional writing experience in marketing or advertising, with an agency background strongly preferred.
• Proven, hands-on experience writing for the financial industry — portfolio samples specific to financial clients are required.
• A strong understanding of financial terminology, products, services, and audience expectations.
• Mastery of SEO/GEO principles and content marketing best practices.
• Demonstrated experience integrating AI tools into your workflow — from ideation through editing — and a passion for maximizing their creative potential.
• Exceptional research skills and the ability to transform complex financial topics into simple, compelling copy.
• Outstanding time management and organizational skills.
• WordPress knowledge is a plus.
