Copywriter (Direct Response & Content)

About Atlas Media
Atlas Media is a growth marketing agency based in Singapore on a mission to help ambitious businesses unlock their next level of growth. We chase results, building high-performing campaigns across Meta, TikTok, Google, and beyond that turn growing businesses into category leaders in their space. We partner with brands who are serious about scaling, and we move just as fast as they do.
The Role
We are looking for a Copywriter (Direct Response & Content) to join our growing team, someone who can write direct response ad copy that converts, and general social media content that builds brand trust, across multiple client accounts. This role sits at the intersection of performance marketing and content, you'll be writing scripts and copy that are judged not just on creativity, but on whether they actually move a number, cost per lead, click-through rate, conversion rate.
This role is ideal for someone who can shift fluently between a hard-selling, direct response ad script and a softer, educational or brand-building piece of content, depending on what the funnel stage calls for. We're also looking for someone who already has AI genuinely built into how they work, not as a novelty, but as a real part of how they draft, iterate, and speed up their output without sacrificing quality.
This is a fully remote role, open to candidates based in Malaysia. You'll be working closely with our Singapore-based team, so strong async communication and a reliable overlap with SGT working hours matters.
Work Arrangement: Fully Remote
Working Hours: Mon-Fri, with core working hours overlapping Singapore time (9am-6pm SGT)
