Content Editor

About the Role We are a growing digital media company publishing content across multiple platforms covering business, economics, finance, history, travel, entertainment, and more. We're looking for a sharp, versatile Content Editor to serve as the final quality gate between AI-generated first drafts and published articles. Your core job is transformation — taking drafts that are roughly 70% of the way there and elevating them to 100% through rigorous fact-checking, natural humanization of tone and voice, SEO optimization, and editorial polish. You are not writing from scratch; you are refining, restructuring, and strengthening existing drafts so they read as authoritative, engaging, and search-friendly content. What You'll Do

Edit and refine AI-generated article drafts across a wide range of topics Fact-check all claims, statistics, dates, and references, correcting or flagging inaccuracies Rewrite stiff or formulaic AI language into natural, engaging prose that reads as authentically human Optimize articles for SEO including keyword placement, meta descriptions, headers, internal linking, and readability Ensure consistency in tone, structure, and formatting across all published content Meet daily/weekly output targets while maintaining quality standards Flag content gaps or topic opportunities based on SEO trends
