Role Description Hey – ich bin Julian, Gründer von retentionclub und seit über 4 Jahren beschäftige ich mich täglich mit "Kundenbindungs-Maßnahmen" für E-Commerce-Brands. Meine Mission: Marken dabei helfen, nicht nur einmal zu verkaufen, sondern echte Fans aufzubauen. Wenn du Bock hast, mitzumischen, Verantwortung zu übernehmen und kein „Agentur-Fließband“ willst – dann bist du hier genau richtig. - Gestaltung von Layouts für E-Mails & digitale Inhalte - Arbeiten mit Typografie, Farben, Abständen & Struktur - Design von Templates, die wiederverwendbar & sauber aufgebaut sind - Visuelle Weiterentwicklung bestehender Designs - Enge Abstimmung mit mir - du bekommst klares Feedback & Raum für eigene Ideen Qualifications - du Grafikdesigner oder Mediengestalter bist - du sicher mit Canva, Photoshop oder ähnlichen Tools arbeitest - du ein gutes Gefühl für Layout, Typografie & visuelle Klarheit hast - du strukturiert arbeitest und Feedback schätzt - du offen bist, Neues zu lernen – ohne Druck (Fokuspunkt CRM) Benefits - Voll remote - arbeite dort, wo du willst - Faire Bezahlung - mit Wachstum für dich und uns - Ein junges, ehrliches Team - Agentur-Feeling, aber kein Agentur-Wahnsinn - Freiraum für Kreativität - keine Standard-Flows, sondern echte Herausforderungen - absolutes Vertrauen & Abwechslung wartet jeden Tag auf dich Company Description Ich bin Julian, Gründer von retentionclub – und irgendwie hat sich aus einer einzelnen Idee ein kleines, aber feines CRM-Powerhouse entwickelt. Heute unterstützen wir E-Commerce-Brands dabei, mehr aus ihren Kundenbeziehungen herauszuholen – mit Strategie, Daten, Emotion und einem klaren Fokus auf Klaviyo. Ich selbst komme aus dem E-Com-Bereich, hab alles gesehen – von Startups bis zu 7-stelligen Stores – und irgendwann gemerkt: Die meisten verlieren ihre Kunden, weil sie sich nur auf Ads konzentrieren. Also hab ich angefangen, das zu ändern. Wenn du Lust hast, mit mir uns echten Projekten zu arbeiten (statt PowerPoints zu basteln), deine eigenen Ideen einzubringen und direkt siehst, was du bewirkst – dann passt du perfekt hier rein.

Role Description This opportunity is only available to candidates currently residing in the following U.S. states: Alabama, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Help shape how AI talks about TV and film. We’re looking for writers with genuine entertainment fluency — people who actually watch anime, K-drama, dark comedy, atmospheric horror, and family cinema, and can write about it in a polished, on-brand voice. You’ll work from home on a flexible schedule. What you will do - Write short-form content about TV shows, films, and entertainment titles in a defined brand voice. - Rewrite AI-generated entertainment copy so it sounds natural, accurate, and tonally right for the genre. - Research plot details, cast, episodes, and cultural context to keep every line factually correct. - Match tone to the title — a horror logline shouldn’t read like a rom-com summary. - Flag AI responses that miss genre conventions, get facts wrong, or feel off in voice. Project details: - Start date: Immediate - Duration: Ongoing - Hours: ~20 hours per week, flexible schedule - Job type: Freelance contract - Location: Remote, US-based - Rate: $40/h Qualifications - A real writer — short-form copy, editorial, brand, fiction, screenwriting, or published reviews. Not “writing-adjacent” work. A portfolio link, clippings, Substack, or published samples should accompany your application. - Genuine entertainment fluency — If you can tell us, off the top of your head, the difference between isekai and shōnen, name a comedian whose set you’d recommend to a friend, or explain why a K-drama like Destined With You works, you’re the right person. - Native or near-native conversational US English, with strong control of tone, grammar, and register. - Comfortable writing inside a brand voice — you’ve written as a publication, brand, or persona before, not just in your own voice. - A background in English, Creative Writing, Journalism, Film/Media Studies, Theatre, or Communications is a plus, not a requirement. - Ready for structured short-form work with character limits, style guides, and a high accuracy bar.
