Position Overview:

As a Copywriter at Galen College of Nursing, you will drive enrollment growth by producing high-quality, on-brand copy across every stage of the prospective student journey — content that builds Galen's authority as a nursing education leader, moves prospects toward application, and gives campus teams the materials they need to recruit effectively in their local markets.

Key Responsibilities:

Produce long-form content — articles, guides, and editorial pieces — that positions Galen as an authoritative resource for prospective nursing students across every stage of their decision journey.
Write supporting short-form articles and web copy targeting specific search queries, ensuring content is structured for both traditional SEO and AI-generated answer environments.
Adapt content across formats including social media posts, video scripts (short- and long-form), digital ad copy, SMS, email, pull quotes, and print materials.
Write video scripts for brand, recruitment, student story, campus spotlight, and explainer content optimized for each format and platform.
Write full-funnel email nurture sequences that guide prospects from initial inquiry through application and enrollment, including welcome series, lead nurture tracks, re-engagement campaigns, and enrollment milestone touchpoints.
Craft triggered and promotional email copy — inquiry follow-up, event confirmations, deadline reminders, open house announcements — that moves prospects forward with timely, relevant messaging.
Serve as the primary copywriting resource for Galen's in-house creative services team, supporting campus marketing needs across Galen's campuses nationwide.
Write copy for campus-level materials including flyers, brochures, signage, viewbooks, event programs, and recruitment collateral — adapting national messaging for local audiences.
Serve as a steward of Galen's brand voice, ensuring all copy across channels, campuses, and formats reflects a consistent tone: warm, credible, student-centered, and grounded in real outcomes.
Write with a commitment to ownable, non-commodity content — bringing in Galen-specific data, real student and faculty voices, and locally relevant context that competitors cannot replicate.
Collaborate with the Creative Director, Content Marketing Strategist, Graphic Designers, Web Manager, and Enrollment team to ensure copy integrates with broader campaign and strategy goals.
Manage a high volume of concurrent projects across content types, campuses, and channels — meeting deadlines, flagging capacity issues proactively, and maintaining quality under volume.

Position Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in English, Journalism, Marketing, Communications, or a related field.
Minimum 4–5 years of professional copywriting experience in a content marketing, creative agency, or high-volume in-house environment.
Demonstrated ability to write across formats: long-form editorial content, email nurture copy, video scripts, social media, advertising, and print/collateral.
Strong portfolio showcasing range, including long-form content, short-form derivatives, and email or campaign copy.
Experience in higher education, healthcare, or mission-driven institutional marketing (preferred).
Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading skills with a sharp eye for brand voice and factual accuracy.
Working fluency with AI writing tools — including the judgment to brief them effectively, use them selectively, and edit their output critically.
Ability to manage high-volume, concurrent projects across multiple stakeholders and deadlines.
Familiarity with SEO principles and structuring content for search and AI-generated answer environments (preferred).
Exposure to CRM-integrated email platforms such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud, HubSpot, or Slate (preferred).
Video script writing experience, including short-form social video and longer brand or explainer formats (preferred).
