Strategic Content Editor (SEO, Funnel Strategy)

Who We Are

We are a high-growth marketing agency obsessed with delivering measurable results for our clients. Our growth isn't accidental; it's the direct result of a team of dedicated practitioners who thrive on complex challenges and drive tangible outcomes. We operate with a high degree of autonomy and accountability, and we believe that the best ideas, backed by data, are the ones that win. Our culture is built on intellectual rigor, radical ownership, and a shared commitment to excellence.

The Opportunity: The Guardian of Strategy and Quality

This is not a proofreading role. We are seeking a Strategic Editor to serve as the critical checkpoint for both our content strategy and its execution. You are the partner to our writers and strategists, ensuring that every piece of content we produce is not only grammatically perfect and brilliantly written but also strategically airtight and positioned for maximum impact.

Your role is to elevate our content from great to exceptional. You will be the strategic backstop, questioning the "why" behind the content, refining the narrative, and ensuring every asset we ship is a powerful tool for achieving our clients' goals.

What You'll Do: Responsibilities

• Strategic Review & Auditing: Before a single word is written, you'll review content briefs and strategic outlines. You'll pressure-test the keyword strategy, audience targeting, funnel logic, and proposed angle to identify weaknesses and opportunities.
• Editing for Strategic Alignment: You will review drafts to ensure they perfectly align with the intended strategy. You'll ask the tough questions: Does this copy actually resonate with the target persona? Is the CTA logical for this stage of the funnel? Does this content fulfill the search intent we're targeting?
• Rigorous Line & Copy Editing: You will perform meticulous edits to refine clarity, flow, tone, and persuasiveness. Your red pen will sharpen arguments, amplify hooks, and ensure every sentence serves a purpose.
• Mentorship and Feedback: You will be a key mentor to our writing team, providing clear, constructive, and actionable feedback that goes beyond grammar. Your guidance will help our writers become more strategic thinkers.
• Maintaining Quality Standards: You will be the ultimate owner of our content quality. You will help develop, maintain, and enforce our editorial style guides, brand voice principles, and quality benchmarks.

Who You Are: The Ideal Candidate's Profile

We are looking for a rare professional who lives at the intersection of strategy and craft. You likely have:

• Extensive Editing Experience: 5-7+ years in a senior content role, with a heavy emphasis on editing strategic marketing content (SEO, PPC, email, landing pages) in an agency or fast-paced tech environment.
• A Strategist's Mind: You don't just correct grammar; you deconstruct arguments. You have a deep, instinctual understanding of digital marketing strategy, conversion funnels, and user psychology.
• Deep Domain Expertise: You are fluent in the principles of SEO, email marketing, PPC, and UX-centric copywriting. You know what makes a piece of content perform in each of these channels and can confidently edit for those outcomes.
• Diplomatic and Direct: You can deliver critical feedback that is direct, insightful, and empowering. You build writers up, making them and their work better without discouraging them.
• Unwavering Standards: You are meticulous and detail-obsessed with an incredibly high bar for quality. A misplaced comma or a weak CTA causes you physical pain.
• Proactive Ownership: You see yourself as the ultimate owner of every piece of content that leaves the agency. You have the grit and resilience to uphold standards, even under pressure.

A Note on Our Demands & Your Rewards

Let's be transparent: the expectations here are exceptionally high. This role demands a significant investment of your time, energy, and intellectual horsepower. It requires resilience and a proactive, problem-solving mindset that goes far beyond a 9-to-5 checklist.

This role is not for everyone.

However, for the right person, the rewards are immense. You are not a cog in a machine here. You are a critical driver of our clients' success and our agency's growth. You will be challenged, you will grow faster than you thought possible, and you will see the direct, tangible impact of your strategic work every single day. If you are a builder who is energized by that level of responsibility and impact, you will thrive here.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary commensurate with your experience and impact; $2,000–$4,000 USD/month.
• A competitive benefits package (details may vary based on your location).
• Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and company holidays.
• A fully remote and flexible work environment.
• A dedicated budget for professional development, courses, and conferences.
• The opportunity to shape the trajectory of a rapidly growing agency.

How to Apply

If this sounds like the challenge you've been looking for, please submit your resume.

In your application, please also include a brief cover letter that specifically answers the following question:

• Describe a time you reviewed a piece of content that was well-written but strategically flawed. What was the core strategic issue, how did you identify it, and what was your process for giving feedback to the writer to correct the course?

Please also note your primary working timezone and your general availability for collaboration during US Eastern Time (ET) business hours.

We look forward to hearing from you.
