Content Editor and Writer

Native Japanese-Speaking Content Editor and Writer Omniscient is an organic growth agency that builds revenue-focused organic growth systems for B2B software companies — optimized for both search engines and generative AI. We're hiring a native Japanese-speaking content editor and writer to edit and create long-form content in Japanese for our B2B SaaS clients. This is a freelance position. Most of the work will be editing and refining LLM-generated drafts so they read naturally, accurately, and persuasively for Japanese professional audiences. You'll also write original content from scratch when a project calls for it. You'll work closely with our editorial team to produce well-researched, engaging, AEO and SEO-optimized content that drives results. We're ideally looking for someone based between GMT-0 and GMT+9, so you can collaborate easily with our Japan and EU teams. We may be open to other time zones for the right candidate. If you're a native Japanese speaker with a sharp editorial eye, you're comfortable working with AI-generated content, and you enjoy digging into complex topics, we'd love to hear from you. Responsibilities: Edit LLM-generated drafts into polished, natural Japanese. Write high-quality, long-form content in Japanese from scratch across a variety of B2B, SaaS, and technical topics. Fact-check and verify claims, statistics, and sources in every draft. Conduct thorough research to understand client products, target audiences, and industry context. Localize content for Japanese readers, not just translate it. Use our internal briefs to structure and outline articles clearly and effectively. Incorporate keywords and AEO/SEO best practices without compromising readability or quality. Adapt your style to match the voice and tone of different client brands. Collaborate with our Japan and EU editorial teams across time zones. Consistently meet deadlines. Who You Are: A native Japanese speaker. Native-level written fluency is required. An experienced editor and writer with 2–3 years of experience editing and/or writing content for marketing, SEO, or B2B brands. Comfortable working with AI-generated content. Professionally proficient in English. Detail-oriented, with a strong grasp of Japanese grammar, style conventions, and consistency. Skilled at simplifying complex information into clear, actionable content. Familiar with SEO fundamentals and how to write for both readers and search engines. Comfortable writing for different audiences, from technical practitioners to business decision-makers. Organized and self-motivated. You can manage your own workload, hit deadlines, and juggle multiple assignments reliably. Open to feedback and collaborative by nature. Friendly, curious, and passionate about producing truly valuable content. A degree in journalism, Japanese language or literature, linguistics, translation, creative writing, marketing, or a related field is preferred but not required. Portfolio Requirement: Please submit 3–5 samples of written or edited content in Japanese. At least 2 should focus on B2B, SaaS, or technical topics. We'd especially like to see editing work, such as a before-and-after example or a piece you substantially revised. Older samples are fine if paired with more recent work.
