Content Editor, SEO & GEO

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Content Editor, SEO & GEO based in the United States.

This is an opportunity for an experienced editor to shape high-quality digital content across SEO, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), PR, content marketing, reputation management, and brand campaigns.

A key part of the role is knowing when AI-generated content needs refinement, deeper research, or a complete rewrite. You’ll join a fast-paced, high-accountability environment where strong thinking, editorial craft, and ownership are highly valued.

• Research unfamiliar subjects and verify facts, statistics, claims, sources, and citations to ensure content is accurate and credible.
• Identify AI hallucinations, unsupported claims, weak sources, questionable citations, repetitive language, and formulaic writing.
• Make editorial decisions that go beyond proofreading, including restructuring sections, rewriting passages, or removing content that does not meet quality standards.
• Improve content structure, organization, readability, flow, headings, titles, and overall user experience.
• Optimize content around keywords, topics, search intent, and emerging AI-driven search behaviors.
• Structure information so it can be easily understood by readers, search engines, and generative AI platforms.
• Adapt content to different brands, industries, audiences, tones of voice, and positioning requirements.
• Review and optimize elements such as meta descriptions, internal and external links, anchor text, and headings when required.
• Identify language, claims, or messaging that could create factual, reputational, compliance, or brand risks.
• Collaborate closely with SEO, GEO, PR, and account teams to ensure content supports broader marketing and business objectives.
• Manage multiple assignments, client accounts, priorities, and deadlines while maintaining consistently high editorial standards.
• Stay informed about emerging GEO, AEO, AI search, and content optimization practices and apply relevant approaches to editorial work.

• Hands-on experience reviewing or improving AI-generated content and the ability to recognize when AI output requires substantial editorial intervention.
• Working knowledge of SEO principles, keyword optimization, search intent, and digital content best practices.
• Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar subjects and produce or refine content across multiple industries.
• Strong attention to detail and a high standard for factual accuracy, clarity, usefulness, and quality.
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple assignments simultaneously.
• Experience using generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or comparable platforms.
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to adapt tone and messaging for different audiences and brands.
