We’re a performance marketing agency recently awarded as one of Adweek’s Fastest Growing Agencies in the U.S. 👋🏻 

We work with a wide range of clients, including Eberjay, Catbird, and Vince, to name a few. Helping brands grow their business is our forte—several of our performance marketing campaigns have received recognition from Digiday, US Search Awards, and others.

As a remote-first agency, our commitment to employee well-being is the key to our sustainable growth, and we’ve got the chops to show for it. Our company culture has received recognition from Inc. Magazine, Fortune Magazine, Google, and Great Place To Work®. We facilitate several in-person team-building events a year, including a team retreat during the fall, ‘Socium University’ courses for knowledge sharing and continuing education, and quarterly business review meetings to offer transparency on the state of the business and discuss anonymous comments or questions.

All that to say—it’s not only fun and fulfilling to work here, but your voice, opinions, and ideas matter, too. Does this resonate with you? Let’s dive into the specifics of this role!

We’re looking for a talented Managing Editor who can combine editorial expertise with strategic thinking to help us deliver high-quality content. You’ll be responsible for editing and improving the work of writers, curating and creating content that resonates with clients’ audiences, and ensuring a polished, brand-aligned output. This is an exciting opportunity for someone with a critical eye for detail and an unrelenting commitment to excellence that’s passionate about writing and editing polished, high-quality content. 

Responsibilities

  • Edit content to a high standard, ensuring all deliverables align with client goals, brand voice, and SEO best practices.
  • Write and refine content, including blog posts, landing pages, and on-site copy, delivering work that could rival a New York Times bestseller.
  • Work closely with Content department lead, SEO strategists, media teams, and clients (when needed) to ensure content achieves desired outcomes.
  • Manage relationships with writers, providing constructive feedback and elevating their work to meet client expectations.
  • Organize, modify, and update existing content to reflect current trends, strategies, and brand guidelines.
  • Assist in topic research, ensuring content is accurate, compelling, and authoritative.

Skills & Experience

  • Demonstrated ability to edit and improve content to professional-grade quality, with a focus on tone, clarity, and brand alignment.
  • Writing portfolio or three samples showcasing your best work—content that informs, persuades, and delights.
  • A self-directed leader with 5+ years of experience in content editing or writing, with proven ability to manage your workload and projects independently.
  • Experience guiding writers to produce exceptional content and managing multiple relationships.
  • Understanding of SEO content strategies and best practices, with experience optimizing content for search engines.
  • Comfort working in tools like Asana, ClickUp, or similar platforms, and an ability to juggle multiple priorities.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across departments and contribute to team goals.

Compensation & Benefits

  • $70,000+
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Company-paid healthcare coverage
  • Slavik 401(k) with up to 4% company match
  • $300 yearly continuing education stipend
  • Company donation match of up to $400 a year for any employee donations made to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
  • And much more!
