Agency Copy Editor (Mid Level, Freelance)

We’re looking for an experienced freelance copy editor who wants to take on a wide variety of copy editing projects from different clients and industries. Whether it’s improving the flow of a long form blog post or making an email more punchy, attention to detail, understanding of grammar, and the ability to stick to a brand’s guidelines are key. The copy editor understands that as a marketing agency we produce purposefully stylised / marketing writing, like plays-on-words, fragments, and figurative speech, so we're not purely sticking to AP style.

This role is for project-based work that can hopefully grow to be far more consistent as projects are successfully executed.

‍

Duties include:

• Editing work from copywriters and clients according to brand style guides and basic grammatical principles and fact checks where appropriate
• Punching up others’ copy to improve flow or otherwise make it better
• Studying and in some cases writing style guides for clients to help improve consistency across editorial team
• Communicating with agency team to provide rationale for edits or otherwise explain work when needed
• Working quickly

‍

Pay:

$30/hour

• Copy editing for B2B audiences and a portfolio to prove it.
• Attention to detail and a passion for writing.
• Teamwork across disciplines and external clients.
• Organization and process-oriented, with diligence in a project management tool (provided)

‍

• 3-5 years of experience in B2B copy/content editing
• Experience working in an agency
• A bachelor’s degree in PR, marketing, journalism, communications or related field
• An understanding of the B2B buying cycle, especially in tech
