Come join one of Puget Sound's Best Places to work! Our culture at Teleion embodies the spirit of a startup with sense of ownership and an employee-led business model. Employees can grow their career and have fun while doing it!

We are looking for a Senior Content Editor (Editorial Lead) to join our team! Successful candidates will have experience in all of the following disciplines – Editorial/Content Strategy, Web/UX Writing, Financial services or another regulated industry. Excellent communication in order to bridge across our diverse group of stakeholders.

About the Role

Our client is replatforming its public website to Optimizely. Several hundred to roughly 1,000 pages are in scope, alongside net-new pages for priority product journeys including credit cards, mortgage, day-to-day accounts, support, homepage, and locations. An external implementation partner is handling the build. This role sits within the website acquisition team and sets the editorial standard for that work and holds the quality bar across a team of writers.

Responsibilities

\n
• Editing content across a component-based design system.
\n
• The editorial standard, built largely from scratch. Today the site is governed by brand guidelines and a set of approved copy blocks; a full editorial standard does not yet exist. Deliverables include a house style guide, applied voice and tone guidance, plain-language standards, terminology and product naming conventions, accessibility guidance for content, and patterns for handling required disclosures.
\n
• Substantive editing across the writing team: structure, argument, and clarity, not proofreading alone.
\n
• Establishing peer editing among the writers so quality does not depend on a single reviewer.
\n
• Final editorial quality bar on migrated and net-new content blocks before they enter approvals.
\n
• Perform duties as assigned.
\n

Requirements

\n
• Senior editorial experience with direct responsibility for a team's or publication's editorial standard. Has built or materially rebuilt a style guide and enforced it.
\n
• Substantive editing across multiple writers while holding one consistent voice.
\n
• Experience writing or editing where compliance or legal review is part of the process, with the judgment to make required content clear and approachable rather than defaulting to dense legal phrasing.
\n
• Comfortable operating as both editor and writer. This is a working role, not a purely supervisory one.
\n
• Required: Must understand the muti-phased enterprise needs and demands of content approvals in highly regulated environments.
\n
• Required: Web/ content migration with digital builds.
\n
• Required: Experience working within a design system or component-based publishing environment.
\n
• Preferred: Editorial Program Management.
