Responsibilities

Proofread with precision: Review all content across channels (web, social, print, email, ads, video scripts, PR, etc.) to ensure accuracy, correct spelling/grammar, consistency, brand voice alignment and error-free delivery.

Collaboration: Work closely with the creative team, senior writers, project managers and clients to understand requirements, ask the right questions, and ensure the final product reflects accurate messaging, tone and brand voice, while meeting deadlines.

Requirements

Experience: Minimum 4 years of professional experience in proofreading, copy editing, and writing for web, digital, print and social platforms. Agency or fast-paced, deadline-driven experience is a plus.
Attention to Detail: Exceptional command of grammar, spelling, punctuation and AP Style. Must have a microscopic eye for errors and inconsistencies.
Brand Voice & Consistency: Ability to learn and protect brand guidelines, tone, and messaging ensuring every deliverable is polished, accurate and on-brand.
Research Skills: Ability to conduct thorough research and fact-check content, distilling complex topics into clear key points.
Time Management: Strong organizational skills and comfort managing multiple projects and deadlines without sacrificing accuracy or quality.
Communication & Collaboration: Clear communicator who works well with writers, designers, account managers and clients. Open to feedback and able to apply it effectively.
Agency Experience: Experience in an agency environment is a plus. Four or more years of professional writing, proofreading or editorial experience preferred.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in English, Journalism, Communications or a related writing-focused discipline.
Portfolio: A portfolio or samples demonstrating strong proofreading accuracy and clean writing.
Familiarity with Relevant Software: Including AI, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, Asana, Figma, Google Docs and SharePoint.
