Job description

Maneuver Marketing

Our Vision, Mission & Success are fuelled by our commitment to be a driving force of positive change to the health of everyday consumers, providing conscious, high-quality & innovative supplement products.

Build, Scale & Operate Leading DTC Brands alongside A-Players

In just 5 years, we kicked off our own DTC Health & Wellness brand from scratch and scaled it to USD$100M+ in annual sales, serving more than 3,000,000 customers worldwide with an average of 4,000 daily orders across 9 SKUs.

These results caught the attention of The Financial Times, as they ranked us among APACs top High-Growth Companies. We have also been awarded 2nd place on the E50 Awards, jointly organised by The Business Times and KPMG in Singapore.

This is just the beginning of our journey, and you could be part of the next stage of our growth!

You’ll take ownership of growth-oriented projects, uncover product-market fit and fuel our customer acquisition engine. Once validated, your winning copies will be systemized into scalable frameworks—leveraging creative thinking models and AI to empower the broader writing team.

Are you passionate about driving growth through strategic, compelling copy? If you understand that true growth means creating copy that converts (i.e engaging customers, reducing churn, and turning loyal users into enthusiastic advocates), we’d love to speak with you!
