About Omniscient Digital

Omniscient Digital is an organic growth agency helping B2B software companies turn content and SEO into growth channels. We’ve built content and SEO programs for companies like Jasper, Adobe, Loom, Order.co, Vendr, Hotjar, and more.

Our work has been featured on websites like HubSpot, Shopify, Intercom, and CXL, and our strategies are used by many of the top content marketing teams around the world.

Our team is 100% remote. Learn about the core values that drive how we work and build a company.

About This Role

Omniscient Digital is growing, and we’re looking for a meticulous French-speaking freelance editor to join our editorial team. This is a freelance role focused on editing long-form articles, blogs, and SEO content written in fluent Standard French (français standard).

You must be fully fluent in Standard French and be able to edit for grammar, tone, clarity, and voice at a native or near-native level.

If you’re an experienced editor who enjoys turning complex topics into clear, readable content and thrives in an independent, detail-oriented work environment, we’d love to hear from you. The application passcode is amoureux des mots.

Please note: We do not work with editors or writers who subcontract their work.

Responsibilities

• Edit a variety of content types (blogs, guides, marketing materials) in fluent Standard French (français standard). You’ll review long-form and marketing content to ensure it reads naturally, clearly, and professionally in fluent French, with tone and phrasing tailored to B2B and technical audiences.
  

• Ensure content is grammatically correct, clear, and aligned with tone, brand, and editorial guidelines. You’ll polish every piece to match client voice and tone while ensuring formatting, structure, and messaging are consistent with our internal editorial standards.
  

• Provide clear, constructive feedback to writers. Beyond making edits, you’ll collaborate with writers and offer thoughtful, actionable guidance to improve structure, clarity, and narrative flow across drafts.
  

• Fact-check statistics, claims, and links to ensure accuracy and reliability. You’ll verify factual information and sources, ensuring every piece is credible, up-to-date, and ready for publication.
  

• Edit for SEO without sacrificing readability. You’ll understand how to apply SEO best practices—like proper keyword placement and metadata formatting—while still prioritizing clarity, tone, and value for the reader.
  

• Consistently meet tight deadlines—typically within 24–48 hours—while managing multiple projects and maintaining a high standard of quality. You’re able to balance quality and speed, delivering polished work within short timelines without compromising on accuracy or consistency.
  

• Communicate regularly with the editorial lead about deadlines and project status. You’ll keep communication proactive and professional, ensuring clear alignment on timelines, priorities, and any potential blockers.
  

• Utilize our style guide to ensure editorial consistency across client work. You’ll apply both client-specific and internal style guidelines to ensure every piece aligns with expectations around formatting, voice, structure, and terminology.
  

Who You Are

• You’re fluent in Standard French (français standard). You write and edit with native or near-native fluency, ensuring content feels natural, polished, and culturally appropriate for French-speaking audiences.

• You have a strong understanding of French grammar, spelling, and style rules, with the ability to apply them confidently. You know when to rely on formal conventions and when to adapt for clarity, tone, or branding.

• You have 2+ years of experience editing B2B, SaaS, or technical/SEO content. You’ve worked with industry-focused content and know how to adapt edits for professional and technical audiences.

• You’re meticulous. You’re detail-obsessed and ensure every sentence is clean, correct, and in the right voice—nothing slips past you.

• You seek feedback. You value collaboration and always look for ways to improve your craft and better serve clients.

• You believe in punctuality. Deadlines are non-negotiable for you, and you proactively communicate if timelines shift.

• You’re an intellectually curious critical thinker. You love diving into new topics, researching unfamiliar ideas, and finding clarity in complexity.

• You’re process-oriented. You bring structure to your workflow and look for ways to improve your editing efficiency without sacrificing quality.

• You’re adaptable. You’re comfortable navigating changing guidelines, priorities, and content types with a solutions-first mindset.

• You’re great at working independently. You thrive in a remote environment, taking ownership of your work while knowing when to ask for input.

A degree in journalism, French studies, linguistics, communications, marketing, or a related field is preferred but not required.

Portfolio Requirement

Please submit 3–5 samples of written or edited content in Standard French. At least 2 should focus on B2B, SaaS, or technical topics. Older samples are acceptable if accompanied by more recent work.
