  • 2+ years of experience in content production, content coordination, editorial operations, or a similar role.
  • Strong writing, editing, and QA skills with attention to accuracy, clarity, and structure.
  • Background in SEO principles and on-page best practices (SEO writing, content marketing, or operational editorial work).
  • Experience working with or writing about SaaS products is an asset.
  • Ability to follow detailed SOPs, templates, and workflows with consistency and precision.
  • Comfort using AI tools as part of a structured editorial process.
  • Experience with WordPress.
