about us
The Female Entrepreneur Association (FEA) exists to inspire and empower women from around the world as they make their dreams happen and build successful businesses. We help amazing women realise what’s possible and take action so they can transform their lives.
Building a business can be lonely, and it’s easy to feel frustrated and discouraged. Our mission is to create a welcoming, encouraging space where women can come together and support one another as they take massive action to achieve their goals. We create a magical experience for our audience, and help them move forward – one step at a time.
about the position
We are looking for a creative copywriter to write clear and captivating copy for emails, launch campaigns, social media, Facebook ads, website pages, sign up pages and more. Your words will inform and engage female entrepreneurs.
Our ideal candidate is a skilled, team-spirited, and imaginative writer with an eye for detail and desire for growth.
what to expect
We are looking for someone who is excited about this position and opportunity to grow. But we also want to make sure that you are clear on what to expect. You’ve got to:
- Thrive in a fast pace environment. As much as we love planning and making sure that all our ducks are in a row, sometimes we just have to roll up our sleeves and make last minute changes or adjustments. You will be expected to come through.
- Be ok with doing multiple revisions of the copy you’ve written until we get it right. Our asking to change things will not be a reflection on your copywriting skills. It’s our obsession with creating copy that resonates with our audience. You’ll be expected to be a sponge as you learn how to talk to our audience in FEA voice.
- Act with speed. Things need to get done, and fast! It doesn’t mean at the sacrifice of the quality of work, but it means things need to get done in a realistic timeframe. Things don’t need to be perfect, we can improve as we go. If progress isn’t being made, let us know why so we can help you.
- Act with integrity. If you say you’re going to do something or agree to doing something, do it. If you’re struggling to get it done, you need to say something. If you don’t get it done, you need to have a good explanation as to what happened and a plan for moving forward.
- Take responsibility. If you’re working on something, don’t wait around for feedback (unless you absolutely have to). Be proactive in moving the project along and getting it done. It’s on you to complete it.
benefits
- Mentorship by Carrie Green. You will closely work with Carrie Green, who will help you to internalise the FEA brand, so that the copy you create is in total alignment with the mission of the FEA.
- Amazing team. Our team is made up of truly amazing experts who care deeply about our work, love our members, and truly care about serving one another. You’ll be joining a team that’s bonded together as a family and works together to solve problems and create a magical experience for female entrepreneurs.
- Flexibility. Work wherever you want with somewhat flexible hours.
- Growth opportunity. Professional development benefits and eventual full-time potential.
- Starting salary. $1500/mo, about 10h/week
responsibilities
- Creating launch sequences. We run promotions on a regular basis, so you will be expected to write winning sequences for launches and other initiatives.
- Creating copy for various social media platforms. We strongly believe in captivating our audience with stories. Especially the ones told on social media. Your responsibility will be to create engaging messaging to connect with female entrepreneurs in a variety of settings.
- Write copy for landing pages. We create multiple avenues for our audience to find and join us. You will be responsible to ensure that FEA landing pages are inviting and persuasive and contain messaging that supports our mission and goals.
- Creating copy for Facebook Ads. We heavily rely on Facebook advertising, so every launch or promotion is accompanied by a Facebook Ads campaign. Your responsibility will be to create engaging and winning ad copy.
key attributes
You are:
- Able to think and write creatively. You understand the message FEA is seeking to express and can translate it into written content.

- Resilient in the face of challenge. You can work to strict deadlines without compromising on work quality. You have a good sense of humour when things don’t go as planned.
