Job description

Grizzle is an organic content marketing agency that helps enterprise and scaleup SaaS companies create and distribute quality content. Our clients include Semrush, Pipedrive, Web.com, Nextiva, ConnectWise, and Tide. We’re a fully remote team dedicated to helping our clients achieve their goals and nurturing the best content and marketing talent in the B2B space. We want to empower you to do your best work and become the top 1% in your craft. There’s no progression ceiling here - many Grizzle alumni have joined us as junior editors and become Heads of Content and marketing superstars.

About the role:

We’re looking for talented freelance content marketing editors to work with us on an ongoing basis. We’ll provide you with an interesting roster of clients, processes and playbooks to empower you to edit at the top of your game, and ongoing support from our editorial team. As an agency, we take the time to create high-quality content that’s full of unique insights and value-adds. We’re not trying to replicate what’s already out there - anyone can do that. Every piece of content must have a purpose. If an audience isn’t blown away by our content, we haven’t done our job properly.

What you’ll be doing:

• Conducting developmental edits for blog posts, landing pages, original research pieces, email content, and more
• Copy editing to ensure every sentence packs a punch and moves the narrative forward (proofreading, fact-checking, improving on-page SEO, etc.)
• Offering editorial support to clients as part of our advisory services
• Coaching writers by offering detailed feedback with a “show, don’t tell” approach
• Creating and updating client content guidelines based on feedback
• Contributing to the writer recruitment and onboarding process
• Ensuring clients experience delightful and white-glove experiences

About you:

• Have excellent attention to detail, and can communicate consistently and work to deadlines
• Can write in a clear and concise manner, and enjoy polishing content to perfection
• Are able to work at a rapid pace to meet fluctuating client demands
• Can think strategically and critically with a strong grasp of marketing and SEO principles
• Feel fulfilled by coaching and helping writers grow
• Recognize what separates original content from the crowd

Benefits of working with us:

If our mission aligns with your values, here are a few other benefits of joining our team:

• Learn about content marketing and organic growth
• Work with cool companies in interesting industries
• Collaborate with top content marketing talent
• Long-term and reliable retainer

We work on a fixed-rate per-project basis, starting at $150 per project. These don’t include client revisions, which have a separate fixed rate. For ad-hoc editorial tasks, our hourly rate starts at $55 to $65.
