Job Description
We are hiring a content writer/editor to create and improve content across sleep, wellness, home, and lifestyle brands.
This is not an AI copy-paste role. We need someone who uses AI efficiently but still applies strong editorial judgment, fact-checking, SEO structure, and claims-safe writing.
You will work on mattress guides, reviews, comparisons, FAQs, buying guides, blog updates, and commercial pages.
What You Will Do
- Write and edit SEO/AEO content
- Improve AI-assisted drafts so they are accurate, useful, and natural
- Refresh existing content for search intent, clarity, and freshness
- Create outlines, briefs, FAQs, and answer-ready sections
- Improve headings, intros, summaries, comparison sections, and CTAs
- Flag unsupported claims, vague copy, and weak sourcing
- Adapt copy for editorial and commercial intent
- Work in Google Docs, Sheets, Slack, and structured SOPs
Strong Fit If You
- Have strong writing and editing experience
- Use AI daily but do not rely on it blindly
- Understand SEO: intent, headings, internal links, title tags, meta descriptions, and refreshes
- Understand AEO: concise answer blocks, FAQs, direct definitions, comparison tables, and citation-friendly structure
- Can write for editorial and commercial pages
- Can fact-check and flag risky claims
- Can follow detailed briefs and SOPs
- Can explain your edits clearly
Do Not Apply If
- You submit lightly edited AI content
- You cannot fact-check your work
- You do not understand search intent
- You have never edited SEO content
- You write vague filler copy
- You cannot follow instructions
- You cannot explain why you made edits
Paid Trial
We will start with a paid trial.
Trial tasks may include:
1. Edit one AI-assisted draft for clarity, accuracy, SEO, AEO, and brand voice.
2. Refresh one article section to better match search intent.
3. Create one outline for a commercial or editorial keyword.
4. Write 3 answer-ready blocks for AI search or featured snippet visibility.
5. Flag unsupported claims and weak sections.
6. Provide a short note explaining what you changed and why.
If the trial goes well, this can become ongoing work.
