- Prompt Library & Brand Voice Governance: Build and maintain an enterprise library of reusable prompts, tone-of-voice templates, and messaging frameworks to ensure generated copy consistently adheres to brand standards, compliance regulations, and audience personas.
- Consumer Research & Audience Empathy: Deeply analyze home services customer pain points, buying triggers, and competitive positioning to craft emotionally resonant messaging that drives immediate action (form fills, phone calls, booked jobs).
- Creative A/B Testing & Iteration: Partner with Performance Marketing, CRO, and Graphic Design teams to rapidly develop and test headline, body copy, and call-to-action (CTA) variations based on performance data and analytics.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration & Brainstorming: Lead creative copy brainstorming sessions with visual designers, brand managers, and digital strategists to conceptualize big-picture campaign themes and multi-touch customer journeys.

- Deep empathy for consumer psychology, strong analytical capability to interpret performance data, exceptional attention to detail, and experience balancing multiple brand voices simultaneously.
- Franchise, home services, or agency experience is a strong plus.
