Remote Copy Editor

Shape the Standard for Clarity and Impact

Can your careful eye catch what others miss? Do you instinctively rewrite sentences for clarity, even in your group texts? That’s the skillset we’re counting on to elevate every piece of content we publish. Our team is expanding, and we’re excited to welcome a copy editor who not only corrects typos but also actively shapes the voice and credibility of our brand.

Here, your edits do more than polish grammar. They spark understanding and trust in readers who rely on our words. You’ll dig into everything from product pages and research briefs to digital campaigns reaching thousands each week. Every comma you place and every headline you tighten makes a real-world difference, whether it’s empowering a user to try something new or helping our partners feel truly understood.

What You’ll Shape and Improve

Elevate Content Quality and Consistency

• Transform raw drafts into content that’s precise, energetic, and genuinely useful.
• Collaborate with writers, designers, and project leads to ensure our language and ideas always hit home.
• Guide writers toward stronger, reader-first storytelling through thoughtful feedback, not just markup.
• Instinctively spot inconsistencies, tone mismatches, and jargon that blocks understanding.
• Polish copy for clarity and brevity, knowing when to cut and when to push for more depth.

Support Remote Workflow and Document Management

• Help manage version control and document flow using our remote collaboration stack—think Google Docs, Notion, Slack, and the occasional call where you turn chaos into a clear to-do list.
• Ensure accessibility standards and inclusive language aren’t just afterthoughts but built into every draft you review.

The Impact You’ll Make

Collaborative, High-Standards Team Culture
