Copy Editor (Website)

About This Role

Supporting a large-scale website migration to a new Digital Experience Platform (DXP) is the main purpose of this copy editing job, which involves moving multiple partner websites onto a standardized digital platform. This role suits someone with a true copy-editing background who can improve content without overworking it, maintain consistency across a high volume of pages, and occasionally step into writing when needed.

Responsibilities

• Review and edit website copy produced by writers before content is passed to UX for implementation
• Edit for grammar, clarity, readability, tone, consistency, accuracy, and overall quality
• Ensure copy aligns with established content requirements, templates, and brand standards
• Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or unclear messaging and work with writers to resolve them
• Improve AI-assisted or source-based drafts where needed
• Perform light rewriting or net-new writing when appropriate, while keeping the primary focus on editorial review
• Maintain consistency across large volumes of content and multiple partner websites
• Collaborate closely with writers, UX partners, content strategists, and project stakeholders
• Incorporate feedback efficiently and help keep content moving through the migration workflow
• Ask thoughtful questions when copy, requirements, or source information are unclear

Requirements

• A minimum of 5 years of experience in a copy editing capacity
• Professional copy-editing, content editing, or editorial experience (higher ed/education a plus!)
• Exceptional command of grammar, punctuation, style, voice, and digital readability
• Strong attention to detail without losing sight of the overall purpose of the page
• Ability to edit efficiently within a high-volume, deadline-driven environment
• Comfortable working within structured page templates, content requirements, and established workflows
• Able to write or rewrite content when needed, though this is primarily an editorial role
• Strong communicator who takes direction well and knows when to flag questions or inconsistencies
• Experience with website redesigns, migrations, content operations, or large-scale digital content projects is a plus
• Experience in higher education, online education, or education-related organizations is strongly preferred
• Must be currently authorized to work in the United States without the need of employer sponsorship for a non-immigrant visa such as a H-1B, TN, or O visa
• Must be physically located in and perform the work for our client in the United States
