Sr. Copy Editor

Responsibilities

• Review short-form content across formats, including blog posts, nurture emails, website and landing page copy, and case studies (generally under 2,000 words, most shorter), for brief alignment, clarity, and brand voice
• Check that writers have correctly translated input from product marketing and SEO (positioning, messaging, keyword and content briefs) into audience-appropriate copy
• Evaluate copy across a range of B2B audiences and the client’s three business units, confirming tone and complexity are correctly adapted for each buyer type
• Flag gaps or inaccuracies in technical subject matter, and confirm writers engaged subject matter experts rather than guessing or overstating expertise
• Deliver clear, efficient feedback to writers to reduce revision cycles, acting as the primary editorial layer so the in-house creative director isn’t reviewing every piece
• Manage review of a high volume of concurrent assignments against tight, quarter-end timelines
• Write or heavily edit select pieces directly when volume or timelines require it

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional content writing experience, with demonstrated experience editing or reviewing others’ copy in addition to writing, ideally with exposure to B2B tech, SaaS, hosting, or infrastructure subject matter
• Comfortable evaluating technical concepts for accuracy, not just tone and clarity
• Demonstrated ability to assess whether copy clearly translates dense or technical positioning for a B2B buyer audience
• Experience working from and enforcing creative/content briefs developed by product marketing or SEO teams
• Strong communicator who can give actionable feedback efficiently and reduce revision cycles across a team of writers
• Reliable and communicative, and someone who shows up consistently, meets deadlines, and flags blockers early
• Portfolio or relevant writing/editing samples are required to be recommended to the client

Preferred

• Pedigree: Solid B2B content and editing background, ideally touching technical or infrastructure-adjacent subject matter, without requiring deep technical/developer expertise
• Passion: Genuinely interested in making dense, technical subject matter clear and approachable for a business audience, and in coaching others to do the same
• Potential: Can operate with minimal guidance, trusted to make judgment calls on brief alignment and brand voice without escalating every decision
• Play: Personable, dependable, and comfortable giving direct feedback to writers; fits into a fast-moving, collaborative in-house team. Must be available for a few standing team meetings during typical business hours, but as long as deadlines are met and work is going well, you can work a flexible schedule
• Portfolio or relevant writing/editing samples are required to be recommended to the client
