We are seeking a driven, detail-oriented Copy Editor to join the Healio News Group and ensure the highest-quality news content is delivered to our physician audience.
The Copy Editor will:
  • edit, proofread and fact-check articles and their components, including social media assets and infographics;
  • edit, proofread and fact-check page proofs;
  • perform deep edits on articles, rework the phrasing or structure of a story when necessary, and leave suggested changes or feedback when appropriate;
  • ensure articles are written in the author’s own words and look for plagiarism and AI-generated content;
  • review articles for balance;
  • adhere to AP, AMA and in-house style guides; and
  • make sure articles are formatted and styled correctly.
Qualified candidates must have:
  • a bachelor’s degree in English, Communications or Journalism;
  • 3 to 5 years of editing experience; and
  • strong communication and time management skills.
The annual base salary for this position is $50,000 to $60,000. Placement within this range is determined by a variety of factors, including but not limited to knowledge, skills, education, years and level of experience, and equity with internal team members. If you are interested in a similar position outside of this range, please submit your resume with the code “WGJOBS,” as we often fill similar positions.
Employees living within a 50-mile radius will be scheduled to work two days per week in our Thorofare, NJ location. Remote applicants will be considered.
Employees are eligible to enroll in our health insurance package, which includes medical, pharmacy, dental and an FSA plan. Life insurance and 401k are also available, as is a generous Paid Time Off (PTO) plan, paid holidays and a flexible work schedule.
Applications will be accepted until October 1, 2026.
