Copy Editor

We are seeking an experienced Editor to support a large-scale website content initiative across multiple university brands. This is a high-volume production role focused on editing, fact-checking, and quality assurance for both long-form SEO articles and website content, including FAQs, program pages, career pages, and other student-facing web content. This is not a developmental or junior editing position. We’re looking for seasoned editors who can work independently, exercise sound editorial judgment, identify factual inaccuracies, and ensure content is publication-ready with minimal oversight. What You’ll Be Doing Edit, proofread, and fact-check high volumes of SEO articles, web pages, FAQs, and other digital content. Review content for grammar, clarity, consistency, readability, and adherence to brand voice. Verify facts by referencing university websites, academic program information, and approved source materials. Identify inconsistencies, inaccuracies, missing information, or unsupported claims before publication. Apply AP Style and internal editorial standards across multiple university brands. Ensure content complies with legal, regulatory, and university guidelines, escalating content that may require legal review. Review AI-assisted content to ensure accuracy, originality, and appropriate tone—never relying solely on AI-generated output. Collaborate with writers, project managers, and stakeholders to resolve editorial issues and maintain production schedules. Meet aggressive deadlines while maintaining exceptional attention to detail and editorial quality. What We’re Looking For 5+ years of professional editing experience in marketing, publishing, digital content, higher education, healthcare, or similar industries. Strong experience editing both long-form articles and website content. Exceptional proofreading and copyediting skills with expert knowledge of grammar, punctuation, and style. Strong fact-checking abilities and a demonstrated critical‑thinking mindset. Ability to identify content that requires additional review or legal/compliance approval. Comfortable editing AI‑assisted content while ensuring accuracy and quality. Experience working within high-volume editorial environments with multiple concurrent deadlines. Excellent organizational skills and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision. Experience with AP Style and editorial style guides. Higher education, healthcare, or research‑heavy content experience is strongly preferred. Familiarity with Workfront or similar project management platforms is a plus. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is an experienced editor who enjoys improving content quality through careful review rather than creating content from scratch. They are naturally detail‑oriented, ask thoughtful questions, verify information before publishing, and can quickly spot inconsistencies others miss. They thrive in fast‑paced production environments and are comfortable editing both SEO‑focused articles and customer‑facing website content while maintaining accuracy, consistency, and brand standards. #J-18808-Ljbffr
