Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Regex SEO is a digital marketing agency focused on home service businesses. They are seeking a Senior Content Editor to oversee content strategy and quality during a department head's leave and to help build the editorial function for future growth.
Responsibilities
- Review strategy before content exists. You'll read content briefs, keyword strategies, and funnel plans before writing starts, and pressure-test them. If the targeting is off, the search intent is misread, or the funnel logic doesn't hold, you catch it at the brief stage, not the draft stage
- Edit for strategic alignment. Every draft gets checked against the strategy it was written to serve. You'll verify the copy matches the persona, the CTA fits the funnel stage, and the content actually satisfies the search intent we're targeting
- Create editing standards where they don't exist. If you notice a recurring writing problem, a missing tone of voice guide, or a gap in our editorial process, you build the fix. You don't wait to be asked, and you don't file it as someone else's problem. You do pause long enough to get leadership and team buy-in, because a standard only works if the people using it helped shape it. Fix what's broken, and fix it with the team rather than around them
- Spot ranking opportunities the brief missed. You read SERPs, not just drafts. If a piece could capture a featured snippet with a structural change, or a related keyword cluster is sitting there unclaimed, you flag it and adjust
- Run quality control. You're the last set of eyes before content ships. Clarity, flow, tone, accuracy, brand voice, and the unglamorous stuff like internal links, metadata, and formatting. You'll help formalize our QA process so quality doesn't depend on any one person being in the room
- Give writers feedback that makes them better. Direct, specific, actionable notes that explain the strategic reasoning, not just the correction. Our writers are good. Your job is to make them sharper
Skills
- 5+ years editing strategic marketing content (SEO content, landing pages, email, PPC assets) in an agency or similar fast-moving environment
- Ability to read an SEO strategy document and find its weak points, including keyword selection, intent mapping, funnel logic, and content architecture
- Ability to work independently by default and make editorial calls without a director to escalate to
- Genuine team player who collaborates daily with writers, strategists, and PMs
- Direct and kind feedback style that helps writers improve without deflating them
- Desire for more responsibility than current role provides, including unofficial leadership work like mentoring writers and building processes
Benefits
- Full-time conversion includes salary, benefits, PTO, and professional development budget
- Fully remote. We'll need meaningful overlap with US Eastern Time business hours for collaboration
