[Hiring] Strategic Content Editor @REGEX SEO

Role Description

Our content department head is going on a planned leave in the near future. Before that happens, we need a senior editor in place who can hold the line on strategy and quality while she's out, then keep raising the bar when she's back. This starts as a contract role with a clear path to a full-time hire based on performance.

Because of that timeline, we need someone who can ramp fast and operate independently. You'll get a real onboarding, documented strategy, and a team that knows what it's doing. You will not get six months to find your footing.

What you'll actually do

• Review strategy before content exists.
• Edit for strategic alignment.
• Create editing standards where they don't exist.
• Spot ranking opportunities the brief missed.
• Run quality control.
• Give writers feedback that makes them better.

Where this goes

This role exists because our content department is growing faster than one director can quality-control. The interim coverage is the immediate need. The real opportunity is what comes after.

The person who succeeds here will help build the editorial function itself: the standards, the QA program, the feedback systems that let a team scale without quality slipping.

Who does well in this role

• 5+ years editing strategic marketing content (SEO content, landing pages, email, PPC assets) in an agency or similar fast-moving environment.
• You can read an SEO strategy document and find its weak points.
• You work independently by default.
• You're a genuine team player.
• You're direct and kind in the same sentence.
• You want more responsibility than your current role gives you.

How the role works

• Contract engagement to start, with conversion to full-time based on performance during the contract period.
• Fully remote with meaningful overlap with US Eastern Time business hours.
• Competitive contract rate commensurate with experience ($3,000-$5,000 a month).
• Full-time conversion includes salary, benefits, PTO, and professional development budget.
