AI and help shape the next generation of content creation.

We partner with fast-growing DTC brands to deliver creator content reaching millions of consumers. As we scale rapidly in the AI + creative space, we’re looking for a Contract Copy Editor to help write winning editorials for our brands.

As a Copy Editor, you’ll be responsible for taking AI-assisted drafts and transforming them into polished, publication-ready content. You’ll apply a sharp editorial eye to ensure accuracy, clarity, and tone, while removing any traces of “AI voice.” You’ll fact-check outputs, apply team feedback with precision, and ensure delivered content aligns with brand standards.

You will also be responsible for publishing finalized articles, and collaborating cross-functionally with our Brand Success, Creative Strategy, and Creator Strategy teams. Occasionally, you may support one-off publishing tasks, such as scheduling organic content.

Your role is all about reliability, communication, and attention to detail - making sure our final deliverables always meet the high bar we set for ourselves.

• Refining AI-generated drafts for grammar, clarity, accuracy, and naturality
• Eliminating AI “tells” to produce authentic, human-quality copy
• Fact-checking and implementing team feedback with speed and accuracy
• Publishing finalized content according to brand guidelines
• Supporting occasional publishing tasks (e.g. content scheduling in Plannable)
• Collaborating cross-functionally with Brand Success and Creative/Creator Strategy teams

• Strong command of grammar, editing, and style
• 1-2 years of professional editing, publishing, or content management (preferred)
• Experience refining AI-generated drafts (preferred)
• Familiarity with publishing platforms and/or scheduling tools (Plannable a plus)

• Reliable, deadline-oriented, and accountable
• Comfortable working in a fast-changing startup environment
• Efficient without sacrificing editorial quality

• Organized, detail-oriented, and consistent in follow-through
• Clear, proactive communicator who can take and apply feedback well
• Strong multitasking abilities in a fast-paced, high-output environment

Rate: This is a contract 1099 role with a budget of $40 per hour.
