Rate: $20.00 to $30.00/hr. w2 additinal Notes in take call -Capital One Copywriter | Recruiter Intake Report

🔴 Critical Requirements

  • Contract: 6 months, with potential extension and possible conversion to permanent employment.
  • Maximum bill rate: $55.63/hour. This is a firm ceiling with no flexibility above it.
  • Experience: Minimum 3 to 5 years of professional copywriting experience.
  • Candidate must be sufficiently experienced to work independently with limited supervision.
  • Primary expertise: Strong direct mail copywriting and copy-editing experience.
  • Workload: Approximately 60% new copywriting and 40% copy editing.
  • Portfolio: Required. A portfolio link must accompany the résumé.
  • Financial services or fintech experience is strongly preferred.

📍 Location

The position is remote during the contract, but candidates should be based near a Capital One People Centre, particularly because the role could potentially extend or convert to permanent employment.

Target locations:

  • Chicago, IL
  • Plano, TX
  • Richmond, VA
  • McLean, VA
  • New York, NY
  • Candidates near another Capital One People Centre may also be considered.

Recruiting priority: Focus on qualified candidates who are already within reasonable proximity of a Capital One People Centre.

🎯 Ideal Candidate Profile

We are looking for someone with:

  • Strong, demonstrable direct mail copywriting experience.
  • Excellent copy-editing skills.
  • Outstanding grammar and punctuation.
  • Strong storytelling ability.
  • The ability to write compelling, polished copy independently.
  • Strong presentation and communication skills.
  • Experience collaborating with graphic designers, art directors and other creative professionals.
  • The flexibility to adapt to changing corporate requirements.
  • Ideally, previous experience within financial services or fintech.

Agency candidates are acceptable, provided they have solid professional experience and can successfully adapt to a corporate environment.

❌ What Recruiters Should Avoid

Please do not prioritise candidates whose backgrounds are primarily:

  • Social media copy
  • Digital banners
  • General digital marketing without meaningful direct mail experience
  • Visually focused portfolios without strong writing samples
  • Candidates unable to demonstrate professional copy-editing experience
  • Candidates without a portfolio
  • Candidates requiring a bill rate above $55.63/hour

The hiring team was clear that direct mail experience is what matters.

💳 Capital One Products Supported

The team supports copy and acquisition campaigns associated with:

  • Quicksilver
  • Platinum
  • Savor
  • Selected travel acquisition campaigns

Candidates with experience writing persuasive consumer acquisition or financial services copy should therefore be particularly relevant.

✍️ Portfolio Expectations

A portfolio is mandatory and should be submitted with the résumé.

The team is interested primarily in:

  • Quality of writing
  • Storytelling
  • Grammar
  • Copy accuracy
  • Ability to communicate clearly and persuasively

The visual design or sophistication of the portfolio is not the deciding factor. The quality of the copy is.

👥 Interview Process

There will be one interview with:

  • Brittany
  • Camille
  • Creative Director Chris Fantuzzi

Candidates should therefore be prepared to speak confidently about their writing process, portfolio work and ability to collaborate within a creative team.

📅 Shortlisting

Wednesday, 14 October 2026

Please have strong candidates identified and ready for consideration ahead of the shortlist.

Recruiter Screening Priorities

Before submitting anyone, please confirm:

  1. 3 to 5+ years of professional copywriting experience
  2. Strong direct mail experience
  3. Strong copy-editing ability
  4. Comfortable with a 60% writing / 40% editing workload
  5. Excellent grammar, punctuation and storytelling
  6. Can operate independently with limited supervision
  7. Portfolio link included with résumé
  8. Financial services or fintech experience preferred
  9. Near a Capital One People Centre, ideally Chicago, Plano, Richmond, McLean or New York
  10. Bill rate does not exceed $55.63/hour

Bottom Line for Recruiting

Do not send candidates simply because they are general copywriters. We need experienced direct mail writers who can show strong professional writing samples, edit accurately, tell a compelling story and operate independently in a corporate environment.

Direct mail + strong portfolio + excellent writing + location near a Capital One People Centre + rate compliance = the target profile.




Responsibilities:
  • Produce creative copy for a range of products within the Direct Mail Print channel.
  • Brainstorm concepts and execute detail-oriented projects while collaborating with art directors, creative directors, and marketing strategists.
  • Partner with internal marketing and line-of-business stakeholders.
  • Create marketing that cuts through the noise using strategy to inform decisions.
  • Apply integrated thinking across channels, products, and audiences while maintaining brand consistency.
  • Incorporate consumer insights to influence work and improve customer experiences.
  • Manage multiple deadlines and deliver error-free work with attention to detail.
  • Listen to and incorporate feedback, determining when to use existing solutions or build new ones.
  • Understand project goals, take direction, ask clarifying questions, and present work clearly to varied audiences.

Experience Requirements:
  • At least 2 years of copywriting experience in a professional setting.
  • At least 2 years of experience in Direct Mail with understanding of Adobe InDesign.
  • Experience in B2C, Direct Response, Print, or Direct Mail preferred.
  • Experience in the financial services industry is a plus.

Education Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree or military experience preferred.
