Some SEO knowledge is preferred. However, training will be provided for candidates with the right attributes.

What to expect:

• For each article, put yourself in the target audience’s shoes, know what their desires and fears are, where they are in the sales cycle and communicate this to the writers.
• Optimize the URL, SEO Title and Page Title for the target keywords.
• Edit writers’ content for grammar, factual accuracy, make the content more engaging, and lead people to make purchases if need be. Edits should be rather light as you’ll be hiring people who can already write well.
• Hire writers to fulfill the article output that we need.

Benefits:
• Skip the commute when you work remotely from home.
• Competitive Salary
• A supportive team
• Less demanding content requirements
• Learn how to create content that gets results (we’ll show you how much traffic your articles generate and help you improve if need be)

• Empathetic – can understand our target audience’s needs, fears and wants and genuinely want to help them.
• Quick learner and intelligent.
• Interested in helping others succeed.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Tactful in your approach when working with writers’ – giving constructive feedback, assigning a mix of content to keep things fresh for them etc.

Application process:
• Submit your CV, cover letter, and any samples of your work to Upgrade to see actual info with the subject line – “Rockstar Editor”
• Shortlisted candidates will take a 10-min aptitude test (not actual work, more like a quiz)
