A Proofreader at Cain & Company isn't just a grammar checker. They're the last line of defense before content goes out the door, responsible for catching errors, sharpening clarity, and making sure every piece is grammatically sound, on-brand, and audience-ready. This includes reviewing content across formats: ads, emails, websites, brochures, video scripts, and social media.

Proofreaders work closely with our copywriters, account managers, and creative teams to refine marketing materials that support our clients' goals and reflect their brand standards.

Core Responsibilities

• Proofread and edit content to ensure it meets agency and client standards for grammar, clarity, accuracy, and consistency.
• Catch tone and voice inconsistencies, and flag content that doesn't match client brand guidelines or project goals.
• Collaborate with copywriters, designers, and account managers to refine work before it goes to clients.
• Maintain and apply client style guides, brand voice documents, and editorial standards.
• Conduct quick background research on client industries when needed to verify terminology, product details, or industry-specific language.

Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in marketing, communications, English, journalism, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in a proofreading, editing, or content review role (agency or marketing setting strongly preferred).
• Strong command of grammar, clarity, tone, and structure across various formats.
• Working knowledge of general marketing principles, including SEO and digital content best practices.
• Ability to review with performance, readability, and brand alignment in mind.

You would be successful in this role if…

• You love proofreading and editing. It's not just your hobby, it's your thing.
• You can spot when a complicated topic isn't landing clearly, and know how to flag it.
• You strike a balance between polish and purpose, delivering content that feels professional and on-brand but still speaks to the people it's meant for.
• You're confident working independently, but you love a good team brainstorm or collab.
• You take constructive feedback and use it to improve your work.
• You're detail-obsessed (you catch the missing comma and the weird tone shift).
• You like solving problems, not just pointing them out.
• You can juggle multiple projects without losing track.
• You stay organized, hit your deadlines, and communicate if something's off track.
• You understand how to handle confidential information professionally.
