Utilize our style guide to ensure editorial consistency across client work
Ensure adherence to client brand voice and messaging guidelines, as well as their editorial preferences
Edit a variety of content and content types for clarity, grammar, punctuation, and spelling
Fact-check quotes, statistics, and link sources to ensure that all technical information is correct
Collaborate with fellow technical communicators (writers included) to develop new approaches for creating more precise and engaging content for the company
Communicate regularly with the Editorial Lead for a given client on an ongoing basis
Do quick turnarounds (24-48 hours, planned)
Stringently meet deadlines
Who you are
You're experienced in editing technical content. You have 2-3 years of experience editing technical content or software documentation specifically. You've mastered the art of helping writers dig deep enough for advanced audiences but can also help them make complex topics simple when necessary.
You have SEO experience. You're familiar with the various considerations related to SEO content and know how to preserve and enhance optimization through your edits (without sacrificing content quality).
You have experience with both print and digital media formats. You’re proficient in word processor programs such as Microsoft Word and Google Docs and PDF software such as Adobe Acrobat.
You’re meticulous. You're an intellectually curious critical thinker and leave no rock unturned, no modifier dangling.
You have excellent time management and organizational skills. You always meet your deadlines—or communicate in advance when you may need a deadline pushed back. You’re process-oriented and try to be as efficient as possible.
You’re adaptable. Change is inevitable, and you’re ok with that.
You’re great at working independently. You’re comfortable setting and achieving your own goals but always communicate when you need assistance.
Positive attitude. You’re kind, passionate, curious, and friendly! You’re open to exploring new ideas, keep updated on trending topics in the infrastructure management software industry, and feel passionately about crafting excellent content. You welcome feedback and love learning how to improve your craft.
