[Hiring] Senior SEO/GEO Editor @Foundation

Role Description

Are you the kind of editor who reads a piece of content and immediately sees not just what is wrong with the writing, but why it will fail to rank, get cited, or move a reader to act? Do you understand how LLMs consume content and how to structure writing so it shows up in AI-generated answers, not just search results? Are you energized by producing work that is genuinely client-ready, every time, without being chased?

If this sounds like you, keep reading. If not, that is okay. This role is not a fit, and that clarity is intentional.

Foundation is scaling its editorial output across a growing roster of B2B clients in SaaS, higher education, and enterprise. Our content has to perform in search, earn citations in LLM-generated answers, and hold up under client scrutiny. The editorial team needs a senior contributor who can own quality across both dimensions without manager oversight on every piece.

This person lets the editorial manager focus on systems, strategy, and team development rather than first-pass quality control.

Who This Role Is For

• Picks up new accounts, tools, and client contexts quickly and operates independently once expectations are set.
• Holds a high bar on content quality, at the line level and structurally: argument, evidence, hierarchy, and flow.
• Understands SEO and GEO and edits with strategic intent in mind.
• Is comfortable working inside AI-assisted workflows and sees AI tools as a way to produce better work faster, while keeping the reader experience top of mind.
• Is comfortable reviewing visual assets alongside copy, flagging when image choice, graphic hierarchy, or design direction is undermining the content's clarity or audience fit.
• Delivers direct, constructive feedback to writers that improves their work over time, not just fixes the immediate draft.
• Brings calm, consistent execution when managing multiple accounts and tight deadlines simultaneously.

What You Will Be Responsible For

• Editorial Quality and Output (~80% of your time)
  • You own first-pass editorial quality across your assigned client accounts, starting with one account and expanding as you ramp.
  • Long-form content
    • Edit blogs, white papers, guides, and landing pages for structure, argument flow, clarity, readability, and design.
    • Apply SEO and GEO best practices.
    • Ensure content meets client-specific messaging and style guides and Foundation brand standards before it leaves the team.
  • Short-form and strategic content
    • Edit social copy, newsletters, LinkedIn and Reddit posts.
    • Review proposal decks and strategic deliverables for clarity, polish, and alignment with client voice.
• Writer Development and Quality Systems (~20% of your time)
  • You contribute to raising the editorial bar across the team, not just fixing individual drafts.
  • Deliver actionable written feedback that helps writers understand the why behind changes.
  • Track recurring issues by writer and flag patterns to the editorial manager.
  • Contribute to SOPs, client resource and template updates, and training resources when patterns call for it.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of editing experience in an agency or B2B content marketing environment.
• Demonstrated ability to edit across multiple content surfaces: long-form, social, landing pages, and community content.
• Strong SEO and GEO fundamentals.
• Experience editing for structure and argument, not just line-level grammar and style.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted workflows and comfort integrating them into daily practice.
• Understanding of B2B buyers and the ability to judge whether content will resonate with a specific ICP.
• Clear, constructive written feedback that develops writers over time.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple accounts simultaneously without quality slipping.
• Experience with or willingness to learn Reddit as a content surface.

What Success Looks Like

• After 90 days, you are running first-pass editorial review independently across your assigned accounts with no gaps.
• Your edited pieces consistently meet SEO and GEO checklist standards.
• Writers on your accounts are receiving structured, specific feedback and recurring issues are trending down.
• You have integrated Foundation’s AI-assisted workflows into your daily routine.
• Client-facing editorial quality on your accounts requires no escalation for tone, style, or accuracy issues.

Position Details

• Full-time (Monday to Friday, ~40 hours/week).
• Remote – open to Canada (employee) or global contractors.
