Job Summary

Own the quality and strategic integrity of scalable SEO content by setting standards, spotting gaps, and coaching writers to stay aligned with intent and funnel stages.

  • Editing and QA: Build and enforce processes so strategy is baked in from briefs to ship.
  • Strategic alignment: Ensure copy meets persona, CTA, and search intent across pages and assets.
  • Writer development: Deliver direct, actionable feedback that raises the writers’ game and content quality.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Review strategy before content exists. Read briefs, keyword strategies, and funnel plans before writing starts, and pressure-test them.
  • Edit for strategic alignment. Verify copy matches persona, CTA fits funnel stage, and content satisfies the target search intent.
  • Create editing standards where they don’t exist. Build fixes with leadership and team buy-in, and implement standardized processes.
  • Spot ranking opportunities the brief missed. Read SERPs and flag potential featured snippets or unclaimed keyword clusters.
  • Run quality control. Be the last set of eyes before content ships; formalize QA processes so quality isn’t dependent on one person.
  • Give writers feedback that makes them better. Provide direct, specific, actionable notes with strategic reasoning.

Requirements

  • 5+ years editing strategic marketing content (SEO content, landing pages, email, PPC assets) in an agency or similar fast-moving environment
  • You can read an SEO strategy document and find its weak points: Keyword selection, intent mapping, funnel logic, content architecture
  • You work independently by default.
  • You're a genuine team player.
  • You're direct and kind in the same sentence.
