Optimizon is a young, fast-growing, and friendly E-Commerce digital agency based in Swindon, with an office in London. Our clients are retail brands who sell on marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, Wayfair, ManoMano, Next, Onbuy, Wish etc.

We create storefronts, do visual creative work and write the copy to describe the products as well as handling a host of back-office functions to boost our client’s sales on these marketplaces.

As a result of rapid growth, we need a Copywriter to primarily support our Creative Team, but also assist the business.

You will be part of a friendly and supportive team and will have the opportunity to work with some fantastic and well-established clients and brands. You will also receive access to the Amazon learning console to conduct the relevant training and receive support and training internally. As a young growing company, there is also room to grow as we grow.
