About the Role


Our in-house Creative Studio produces a high volume of marketing and communications assets across digital, print, paid, and earned media - and we hold every word, every pixel, and every link to the same standard we hold our brand. We're looking for a meticulous Proofreader and Copy Editor who takes genuine pride in getting it right before anything goes out the door.


This role sits at the intersection of language, compliance, and digital quality - and the right person will be as comfortable marking up a print brochure as they are clicking through a landing page to confirm every button routes where it should.


What You'll Do

Proofreading and Copy Editing

• Review and edit all studio-produced assets for grammar, spelling, punctuation, style consistency, and brand voice across print, digital, paid media, social, and earned media formats

• Apply and uphold brand style guidelines and editorial standards across all collateral

• Partner with designers, copywriters, and project managers to flag issues early and turn edits around within Creative Studio timelines

• Maintain and evolve internal proofreading checklists and style references as brand standards develop

Regulatory and Compliance Review

• Work against established regulatory checklists to ensure all marketing collateral meets compliance requirements prior to submission

• Identify and flag discrepancies - missing disclosures, incorrect legal language, unapproved claims - and partner with the Creative Studio team to resolve them

• Track revisions through the compliance review process and ensure final approved versions are reflected accurately in production files

• Stay current on relevant regulatory guidelines as they evolve within the financial services space

Digital QA

• Conduct pre-launch quality assurance on digital assets including emails, landing pages, digital ads, and web content

• Test all links, CTAs, buttons, and interactive elements to confirm functionality, correct routing, and consistent behavior across devices and browsers

• Verify URL query strings, tracking tags, and destination URLs against campaign briefs

• Document and communicate QA findings clearly so issues can be resolved before go-live

What You Bring

• A bachelor's degree in communications, marketing, journalism, English, or a related field with 3-5+ years of proofreading and copy-editing experience, ideally within financial services, a regulated industry, or a high-volume in-house or agency environment

• A sharp editorial eye and genuine comfort with style guides, legal language, and disclosure copy

• Familiarity with regulatory and compliance review processes in a financial services or similarly regulated context - or the demonstrated ability to quickly learn and rigorously apply a compliance framework

• Experience performing digital QA, including link testing, CTA verification, and cross-device/browser review

• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple assets in various stages of review simultaneously

• A collaborative, low-ego approach - this role is a critical quality gate, and the best person for it understands that getting it right matters more than being right

Nice to Have

• Experience with project management or creative workflow tools (Workfront or similar)

• Familiarity with HTML basics or the ability to read source code to verify tracking parameters

• Prior experience working within a financial services in-house studio or marketing team

• Knowledge of FINRA and FDIC regulatory frameworks
