Job description

Aquent Studios is looking for aCopy Editor on the Brand Review Team will support a high-volume product launch cadence for our top Tech client. Brand Review sits directly on the critical path for every campaign, asset, and name before it goes to market — and this role closes the discipline where current review coverage is thinnest: copy. You’ll work within a 1–2 week campaign lead time, reviewing copy for brand compliance across a fast-moving slate of product launches, and help eliminate a single-reviewer bottleneck that’s currently constraining turnaround.

What You’ll Do

• Review copy, tone, terminology, and naming for launch campaigns (Tiers 1 & 2) against brand guidelines
• Provide in-artifact feedback directly in the live working file (Google Doc, Figma, Frame.io, etc.) so launch teams and agencies can action it in place
• Label every review comment by severity — blocking (must fix before launch) or advisory (fix where time allows) — so agencies can triage under deadline
• Record a written feedback and outcome summary in the case tracking system before each case closes
• Work within the sprint cadence, using the team’s working chat channel and the automated launch tracker
• Escalate unresolved blocking issues to Brand Ops when they’re close to a launch date

Required Skills:

• 3–5 years of copyediting experience, preferably focused on large-scale brand and marketing copy.
• Comfort giving fast, clear, severity-tagged feedback under deadline pressure
• Experience working inside live collaborative tools (Google Docs, Figma, Frame.io) rather than static file review
• Ability to work within a defined sprint cadence and escalation process
• Judgment to distinguish blocking brand-compliance issues from advisory polish

This role reviews copy — it does not:

• Create or produce campaign assets
• Evaluate naming for trademark or legal clearance (owned by brand strategists and Legal)
• Own brand strategy, architecture, or guideline authoring
• Handle case coordination, intake, tiering, or tracker upkeep (owned by Brand Ops)
