Direct Response Copywriter

Director of Human Resources, Employee Relations & Talent Acquisition

What We Do
:

PESI is the world’s leading provider of continuing education for mental health, healthcare, and rehab professionals. Our conferences and courses are attended by more than 600,000 clinicians each year.

With a fast-growing presence in both national and international markets, we offer dynamic professional development opportunities and partner with some of the most influential voices in mental health and personal growth — including Brené Brown, Bryan Stevenson, Tony Robbins, Taraji P. Henson, Alanis Morissette, Malcolm Gladwell, Bessel van der Kolk, and Daniel Siegel.

We’re currently seeking a full-time, direct response marketer who thrives on writing high-converting, long-form sales page copy. This is a 40-hour-a-week (in-person or remote) role for a serious, committed writer — not a side hustle or part-time gig. If you live and breathe persuasive copy and love using words to make a meaningful impact, we want to meet you.

What you will be doing…

Get ready to step into the inner circle of global leaders in mental health education. As a direct response marketer with PESI, you’ll be joining our mastermind training developers to bring the world’s most advanced mental health clinical training programs to market.

As a skilled pitch master, you’ll work side-by-side with the program development team to create exceptional written offers that awaken clinician interest, powerfully position our world-class trainings, and develop a strong emotional tie that produces immediate sales and leads.

If your heroes include iconic pitchmen such as Jeff Walker, Anthony Sullivan, Marie Forleo, Billy Mays, Richard Simmons, Ron Popeil, and Amy Porterfield, we should talk.

Your copy will take center stage:

• Your copy will power campaigns across 12 specialized brands — putting your work directly in front of millions of mental health, rehab, and healthcare professionals every single week.
• Get seen in over 1.1 million inboxes through our engaged email lists — with over a million (and growing) highly targeted professionals in mental health, healthcare, and rehab.
• Your work will help fuel 3000+ campaigns and 1.1 billion emails annually
