About Jack Westin

Jack Westin is a leading Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) preparation company which is known for crafting high quality, but free, practice materials. The MCAT tests students on the scientific reasoning skills and scientific knowledge which can be learned during typical undergraduate coursework.

Our Three Principles

As we continue to grow and help students, we are guided by three major principles that we believe are vital to our community.

Attention to quality

We only create courses and practice questions that we would use. That means having the best, first-class teaching content that can possibly exist. We're not satisfied with mediocrity. We don't care about the amount of time or money it takes to get something done right. If it's not perfect, we won't stop until we believe it is. This ethos runs deep within our company.

Excellence in support

We're obsessed with our students. Their well-being and success drives us each day. Great customer service is not an afterthought. It is the most important service we can offer. We understand that our students come from different learning backgrounds. It's our mission to ensure that each one has an amazing experience.

Learn from anywhere at anytime

We are committed to building the future of education on the internet so that it is easily accessible to all students from around the world. Our dedication is to all students who want to learn, regardless of their pace, and no matter what time of the day it is.

Role Overview

We're looking for a part-time Marketing Copywriter to own the voice and cadence of our mass email marketing program. This is a contract (1099) engagement, non-exclusive, so the right person is welcome to work with other clients alongside this role. Core responsibilities include writing 3–4 emails per week that speak directly to pre-med students, spanning both sales-focused campaigns (promotions, enrollment pushes, deadlines) and nurture campaigns (educational content, relationship-building, brand trust). Beyond writing, this person will research seasonal and academic-calendar trends and dig into performance data, including prior years' campaigns, to continuously sharpen our messaging strategy.

Key Responsibilities

Email Content Creation

• Write 3–4 mass marketing emails per week, split between sales campaigns and nurture/relationship campaigns.
• Craft subject lines, preview text, and body copy that resonates authentically with pre-med and MCAT-prep students.
• Adapt tone and structure to campaign goals, ranging from urgency-driven sales pushes to educational, trust-building nurture sequences.
• Maintain a consistent brand voice across all email touchpoints in line with Jack Westin's positioning.
• Collaborate with the design team on layout, imagery, and calls-to-action for each send.

Research & Trend Analysis

• Research seasonal trends relevant to the pre-med and MCAT prep calendar (application cycles, test dates, academic terms, holidays) to inform campaign timing and messaging.
• Stay current on student sentiment, competitor messaging, and broader trends in higher-ed and test-prep marketing.
• Translate research findings into concrete campaign themes, hooks, and content calendars.

Performance Analysis & Optimization

• Review email performance data (open rates, click-through rates, conversions) on an ongoing basis.
• Analyze prior years' email campaigns to identify what has historically resonated, and apply those learnings to current strategy.
• Run and interpret A/B tests on subject lines, copy angles, and calls-to-action.
• Partner with sales and operations leadership to report on campaign performance and recommend strategic adjustments.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work with the sales team to align email campaigns with active promotions, enrollment goals, and student lifecycle stages.
• Coordinate with academic and advising teams to ensure messaging accurately reflects program offerings and student needs.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in email marketing, copywriting, or content marketing, ideally in education, ed-tech, or a related consumer space.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating persuasive and engaging email copy across different campaign types.
• Comfort working with email marketing platforms (e.g., HubSpot) and interpreting campaign analytics.
• Excellent written communication skills with close attention to tone, clarity, and audience.
• Data-informed mindset — comfortable using performance metrics to guide creative decisions.
• Growth mindset — eager to test new ideas, learn from performance data, and iterate quickly on what works.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience marketing to students, particularly pre-med, graduate, or test-prep audiences.
• Familiarity with A/B testing frameworks and email deliverability best practices.
• Background in both direct-response (sales) and lifecycle/nurture email marketing.
• Educational background in psychology, sociology, and writing.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to shape the voice of a growing, mission-driven education company.
• A collaborative team environment spanning marketing, sales, and academics.
• A flexible, non-exclusive part-time contract — freedom to take on other clients alongside this work.
• Future opportunity to move into a full-time employment position.
