You’ll play a critical role in defining how a marketing and advertising brand shows up in the market, particularly during pivotal moments like rebrands and digital transformations. Partnering with a highly collaborative, cross-functional team, you’ll ensure content not only meets a high editorial bar but also delivers against business objectives.

If you bring a balance of editorial precision, creativity, and strategic thinking and thrive in dynamic, evolving environments, we’d love to connect.

This is a part-time, contract role with expected hours ranging from 15-25 per week, depending on workload. Our team will work with you to prioritize projects and manage capacity.

What You’ll Do

• Write, edit and refine content across formats, including websites, landing pages, blogs, and campaign assets, with a strong emphasis on performance and usability.
• Lead with advanced SEO / AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) / GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) expertise optimizing content for search visibility, intent alignment, structured data, featured snippets, and AI-driven discovery; naturally incorporate keywords, map content to the buyer journey, and continuously refine based on performance insights.
• Integrate and manage content within HubSpot, confidently making updates and edits to ensure accuracy across pages.
• Go beyond copyediting and proofreading to shape, restructure, and elevate content, improving flow, clarity, messaging hierarchy, and conversion impact while maintaining a consistent brand voice.
• Partner closely with Creative, Internal Marketing, Digital Experience, and Content Marketing teams to ensure cohesive storytelling, seamless UX, and integrated execution across channels.
• Help establish and evolve editorial standards, particularly for new brand launches and website builds.
• Provide clear, actionable feedback to continuously raise the bar on content quality, engagement, and effectiveness.
• Operate with speed, flexibility, and sound judgment, navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities while maintaining high editorial standards in a deadline-driven environment.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of website content editing and writing experience, ideally within a B2B marketing or agency environment, with a strong track record of performance-driven content
• Experienced in content integration within CMS platforms, particularly HubSpot, with strong confidence and autonomy in making content updates and edits directly within the system.
• Proven ability to edit with performance in mind (not just readability), leveraging data, SERP insights, and evolving search behaviors to inform decisions
• Experience editing content for new brands and website builds, with the ability to shape and scale voice from the ground up.
• Knows how to strike the balance between discoverability and distinction - creating content that’s structured to perform across search and AI-driven experiences, while still carrying a clear point of view, unique voice, and editorial quality that makes the brand worth paying attention to.
• Strong understanding of content strategy, buyer journeys, and digital user experience
• Exceptional attention to detail with a commitment to high editorial and quality standards
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and evolving project parameters with confidence
• Highly organized, curious, and self-motivated, with a proven ability to manage multiple priorities and tight deadlines
