• Managing and expanding SurgeU’s library of approved claims, proof points, quotes, statistics, FAQs, and reusable language.
• Helping maintain the SurgeU brand voice and editorial style standards.
• Developing guidance for how AI should and should not be used in communications workflows.
• Building, testing, and improving prompts that produce more useful first drafts and reduce unnecessary editing time.
• Identifying recurring editorial problems and improving the workflow rather than repeatedly fixing the same issue manually.
• Partnering with ORM and SERP teams on trust content, FAQs, reputation pages, and other search-sensitive copy.
• Supporting rapid-response communications when the organization needsaccurate, high-quality copy quickly.
• Repurposing strong source material into multiple formats without losing accuracy or context.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of professional experience in copywriting, editing, communications, brand content, journalism, or a related field.

• Excellent writing and editing skills across short-form and long-form content.
