Content Editor (AI-Generated Content Specialist)

THE ROLE

We are looking for a sharp, experienced Content Editor to help shape content used across SEO, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), PR, content marketing, reputation management, and brand campaigns. A large part of this role involves taking AI-generated content and making it genuinely publication-ready. That means much more than proofreading.

You will be expected to recognize weak writing, repetitive ideas, questionable claims, poor sourcing, and content that simply does not accomplish what it is supposed to do. Sometimes that will mean making a few edits. Other times it will mean restructuring a section or rewriting it completely.

The ideal candidate is an excellent editor, a strong researcher, and someone who knows when not to trust the first answer AI provides.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Edit, rewrite, and improve AI-generated content for client websites and third-party publications
• Turn rough or generic AI content into clear, natural, and useful writing
• Research unfamiliar topics and verify facts, statistics, claims, and sources
• Identify AI hallucinations, unsupported claims, and questionable citations
• Remove repetitive, generic, or overly formulaic AI writing
• Improve article structure, flow, readability, and organization
• Optimize content around keywords, topics, and search intent
• Structure information so it can be easily understood by users, search engines, and AI platforms
• Edit website content, blog articles, resource content, contributed articles, and thought leadership pieces
• Adapt writing for different brands, industries, and audiences
• Ensure content aligns with client messaging and positioning
• Review titles, headings, meta descriptions, links, and anchor text when needed
• Identify language that could create factual, reputational, or brand concerns
• Work closely with SEO, GEO, PR, and account teams
• Manage multiple assignments and deadlines across different client accounts

QUALIFICATIONS

• 3+ years of professional writing, editing, journalism, content marketing, or digital marketing experience
• Excellent editing, rewriting, proofreading, and grammar skills
• Strong research and fact-checking ability
• Experience working with AI-generated content
• Ability to recognize when content needs more than surface-level editing
• Working knowledge of SEO and search intent
• Ability to quickly understand and edit content across different industries
• Strong attention to detail
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills
• Experience using generative AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini

A specific college degree is not required. Strong editing skills, sound judgment, and relevant experience are much more important to us.

NICE TO HAVES

• Agency experience
• SEO content experience
• GEO, AEO, or AI search experience
• PR or earned media experience
• Experience with reputation or brand management
• Experience editing content for third-party publications
• WordPress or CMS experience
• Familiarity with Google Search Console, Semrush, Ahrefs, Moz, or similar platforms
• Basic familiarity with schema markup
• Familiarity with AP style

YOU SHOULD APPLY IF...

• You read AI-generated content and immediately notice what is wrong with it.
• You can tell when a paragraph sounds polished but does not actually say anything useful.
• You question statistics and claims before accepting them.
• You know the difference between a credible source and a weak one.
• You are comfortable deleting an entire section and starting over when that is the best editorial decision.
• You can take a complicated topic, research it quickly, and make the content understandable without pretending to be the subject matter expert.
• You understand that good digital content needs to work for the reader first while also supporting search, AI visibility, brand positioning, and broader marketing goals.

ABOUT GEO:

• Previous Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) experience is a plus but is not required.
• GEO is an emerging area of digital marketing focused on improving how brands, companies, and information are understood, surfaced, and cited by AI-driven search and answer platforms.
• We can teach our GEO methodology.
• What is much harder to teach is strong editorial judgment, research ability, and the instinct to recognize when content simply is not good enough.
• That is what we are looking for.
