Job description

For over 17 years, Wisevu™ and our sister agencies Homevu™ and CharityMarketing.com have helped US & Canadian companies succeed through world‑class marketing. We are a stable, fully remote team of 25+ specialists, and we’re looking for a Managing Editor to lead our content production.

You’ll oversee 4–5 copywriters, ensuring our editorial calendar stays on track, and every piece of content (from web pages to blog posts to email copy) meets our high editorial standards and impresses clients.

What You’ll Do

• Quality Review: Edit content for clarity, tone, positioning against competitors, and SEO best practices.
• Support Writers: Provide actionable, constructive feedback to the writers to improve their craft over time.
• Coordinate Handoffs: Ensure polished content moves seamlessly to our uploaders to go live.
• Anchor Content: Personally write "cornerstone" or high‑difficult pieces that require a more sophisticated touch or deeper technical nuance. You will spend roughly 20% of your time writing high‑stakes content and 80% of your time refining the work of others.
• Client Interviews: Participate in deep‑dive client discovery calls and content review calls.

Who You Are

• Fluent in English: Professional‑level written and spoken English.
• Marketing Expert: A deep understanding of consumer behavior, positioning, and great marketing.
• Organized: You enjoy a clean workflow and take pride in meeting deadlines through good planning.
• Experienced: You have 3+ years in an editorial or content management role, preferably in an agency environment.
• Educated: You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, English, Communications, or a related field.
• Detail‑Oriented: You have a sharp eye for high‑quality marketing, tone, and factual accuracy.
• Collaborative: You know how to maintain high standards while being a supportive and professional teammate.

Working hours

• 8 hours per day, Monday–Friday. Your working hours must include at least 6 hours between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM EST.

Why Join Us?

• Stability: Join a proven agency with nearly two decades of success.
• Fully Remote: A mature remote culture built on exceptional processes and systems that make remote work enjoyable.
• Focus: We’ve simplified our SEO model to focus on Topical Authority, meaning less "technical bloat" and more focus on great content.
• Diverse Impact: Work on a variety of industries, including medical practices, home services brands, and charities/NPOs. As well as diverse content types.
• Career Rewards: Highly competitive salary, benefits, and growth opportunities.

We’re excited to see your work and hear your ideas, and work on exciting projects together.

We kindly ask that you provide us with your resume in English.
