Copyeditor

Why a CV for this job?
- They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
- It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
- In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
- Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.
We’re looking for a meticulous and experienced Copyeditor to join our team and help bring content to life. You’ll play a key role in making sure every piece of copy is clear, accurate, consistent and on-brand before it is published – from Amazon product listings and theme-related content. If you have a sharp eye for detail, a strong command of US English and enjoy making good copy even better, we’d love to hear from you.
What you'll do
Proofread and correct copy for grammar, spelling, punctuation and formatting, to a US English standard
Check product data, names, measurements and facts for accuracy and consistency
Flag issues such as character-limit breaches, structural problems, forbidden terms and D&I considerations
Work from style guides, approved names files and briefs, and collaborate with writers to resolve queries
Adapt to different content types and requirements as projects come in
What you'll bring
Proven copy editing or proofreading experience, ideally in e-commerce, retail or marketing content
Native-level US English and a sharp eye for detail
Ability to work accurately at volume and to deadlines
Confidence working within established guidelines and knowing when to flag rather than fix
Flexibility to switch between content types
Familiarity with Amazon listing requirements is a plus
To apply, answer the required questions and give us an overview of how your experience matches what we are looking for as well as attaching your resume. Thank you, we can’t wait to find out more.
