About the Role

We are looking for a Copy Editor who knows how to simplify complexity. Someone who can see through jargon, focus on what matters, and make every word clearer and more useful.

This role sits within our Corporate Marketing team. You will partner with designers, content, product, and marketers to ensure everything we publish is consistent, credible, and easy to understand. If a sentence feels like work for the reader, you will know how to fix it.

The ideal candidate believes clarity builds trust, understands how to bring highly technical content to life, and ensures every message includes a strong, purposeful call to action.

What You Will Do

• Review and edit various content types, including growth marketing (60%), product marketing (20%), brand (10%), and web content (10%) to improve clarity, tone, and accuracy.
• Build relationships to collaborate with other writers, product managers, and designers.
• Make sure SmartBear speaks in a clear, consistent voice across every touchpoint and that SmartBear's brand voice and style guidelines are maintained.
• Help teams simplify technical and complex concepts without losing precision by improving readability and flow.
• Collaborate with writers, designers, and stakeholders to move fast without sacrificing quality.
• Ensure calls to action are crisp, relevant, and aligned to audience needs.
• Maintain and evolve our editorial guidelines to support the company's tone and positioning.
• Review facts, terminology, and data to build trust in every piece of content.
• Craft headlines, CTAs, and short-form copy that connect with technical audiences.
• Ensure accuracy of facts, dates, names, and statistics.
• Uphold high editorial standards.
