Role Description

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Copywriting & Content Subject Matter Expert (SME) to review AI-generated marketing/content-writing outputs and/or create expert copy and content, evaluating reasoning quality, intent alignment, and step-by-step writing decisions while providing precise written feedback. You will assess solutions for accuracy, clarity, brand fit, tone, and adherence to the prompt; identify issues in logic, messaging, audience targeting, claims/compliance risk, structure, and style; fact-check statements where needed; write high-quality explanations and model outputs that demonstrate strong copywriting technique; and rate and compare multiple responses based on effectiveness, correctness, and reasoning quality.
