Marketing Content Engineer

About Manticore Marketing

We make businesses impossible to ignore. Through bold messaging, conversion-first websites, and scroll-stopping campaigns, we help businesses get seen, remembered, and chosen. If you're a precise communicator with a knack for clarity, a respect for brand voice, and an eye for detail—this is where your pen becomes power.

What is a Marketing Content Engineer?

It's not just copywriting. This role is about shaping how our clients are perceived online—from the very first Google result to the final call-to-action.

You'll engineer written content that informs, persuades, and converts:

• 70% of your time will focus on websites: writing homepage copy, service pages, blog articles, landing pages, SEO snippets, and other conversion-focused content.
• 30% of your time will be spent repurposing that content into platform-native versions for email, Instagram, LinkedIn, and beyond.
• You'll work closely with the web design team to make every site feel cohesive and clear—and with the social/content team to ensure the voice and message are echoed (not copy-pasted) across every touchpoint.

You're the Right Fit If:

• You write quickly and rewrite ruthlessly. You know the first draft isn't the final one.
• You can take a messy Google Doc, a 2-minute voice note, or a client's half-formed idea—and turn it into a clean, persuasive message.
• You love clarity. You're not here to write long essays. You're here to help people get it and act .
• You know brand voice is everything. You can write playfully or professionally, depending on the audience.
• You obsess over details—punctuation, tone, layout, and how words sit next to visuals.
• You get excited about small wins: a lowered bounce rate, a click-through spike, a headline that sticks.
• You treat every piece of writing like it matters . Because it does.
