The Opportunity

At OES, we’re on a mission to be the world’s most impactful enabler of education. We partner with leading universities and institutions to deliver transformative learning experiences, and we’re looking for a Performance Copywriter who is as passionate about education and storytelling as we are.

As our new Performance Copywriter, you’ll be the creative force behind high-impact, performance-driven content that speaks directly to prospective students.

• Translate strategy and personas into messaging that resonates at every stage of the student journey.
• Optimise long-form content for marketing impact and SEO.
• Test, learn, and refine copy based on performance data.
• Transform complex information around career & learning outcomes, entry requirements and other course details into easy-to-digest copy.
• Build frameworks and documents to efficiently roll out copy updates at scale, across many products/programs.
• Use AI tools to scale content creation without sacrificing quality.
• Align messaging with visual creative for maximum impact.
• Stay ahead of trends and ensure our messaging stands out in a competitive market.

What Success Looks Like

• Your copy consistently drives clicks, conversions, and engagement.
• Messaging is sharp, differentiated, and aligned with brand and audience needs.
• You’re a trusted partner across the business, known for your strategic thinking and creative flair.

About You

• 5+ years’ experience in copywriting, content marketing, or advertising.
• Proven ability to write for performance, especially across paid search, social, and digital.
• A strong grasp of SEO, lifecycle marketing, and audience segmentation.
• Experience using AI tools to enhance content creation.
