Responsibilities

– Write the Kickstarter campaign page copy, headline through FAQ

– Write the pre-launch and launch email sequences

– Write ad and social copy

– Shape the founder and mission narrative

– Hold a consistent, sharp brand voice

What’s In Scope

– All pre-launch and campaign copy

Out of Scope (for now)

– A long-form content marketing or blog program

– Press releases and media materials, which our PR partner owns

Requirements

– A conversion copywriting portfolio, ideally crowdfunding, direct-to-consumer, or product launch

– The ability to turn features into benefits and tell a story that builds trust

– Concise, persuasive writing with no filler

– A bias toward shipping and iteration

Tools and Setup

Minimal. You work from your own writing setup; we do not cover individual tool costs.

Coming In Eyes Open

We want you to join with a clear picture of what this is. Arculus is pre-revenue. There is no cash salary today; you would be contributing your work in exchange for a real, tracked ownership stake. The plan is ambitious and still being built: priorities shift, the path is not always mapped, and you will sometimes be building the plane while it is in the air. You will wear more than one hat, and you will not have a large team or heavy process around you. For the right person, that is the appeal: real ownership, real influence, and the chance to shape something from the ground up. For someone who needs stability, structure, and a steady paycheck right now, this is honestly not the right time to join, and we would rather say so plainly than have you find out later.

Compensation

Arculus is in the concept and pre-revenue phase. All team members, including the founders, are compensated through profit shares using the Slicing Pie model, not a cash salary.

– All time contributions are tracked

– Hours are credited at 2x fair market value

– Contributions convert into profit shares

– A cash salary begins once Arculus reaches break-even or raises a funding round

– All earned profit shares are retained permanently

Why Join Arculus

– Write the story that gets a product made

– Non-linear earning potential tied directly to the success of the product

– Fully remote work

– Real ownership in what you build, from day one

– Meaningful influence on how we build and launch

– A small, fast-moving, collaborative team

If you want meaningful ownership in something you helped build, and an early-stage environment energizes you rather than scares you, we would love to hear from you.

Pay: $60,000.00 – $85,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Flexible schedule

Application Question(s):

• This role uses a Slicing Pie based compensation model during the pre-revenue phase. Contributions are tracked and converted into profit shares; there is no cash salary until break-even or a funding round. Have you read and do you understand this compensation structure?
• Why are you interested in a contribution-for-equity / profit-share model at this stage of a startup?
• How many hours per week can you realistically contribute to this project over the next 3 to 6 months?
• Early-stage startups involve ambiguity, rapid iteration, and limited structure. How comfortable are you operating in this type of environment, and can you give an example?
• Please share two or three writing samples, ideally sales or campaign copy.
