About the Role
Inspira is seeking an Editor, Digital Content to set the quality standards for all published materials. This senior individual contributor role requires a keen eye for detail, the authority to guide subject-matter experts, and a deep understanding of content discoverability by both humans and AI systems.
Responsibilities
- Edit content for quality at the sentence and structural levels.
- Identify and correct spelling, grammar, factual, and formatting errors.
- Rewrite passive constructions to active voice and replace jargon with plain language.
- Concise writing by removing unnecessary words and tightening sentences.
- Verify logical and accurate heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3).
- Trace claims, statistics, and quotes to primary sources and flag unverified information.
- Define proper nouns and terms upon first mention within each section.
- Apply and maintain the style guide, including punctuation, capitalization, formatting, and tone.
- Flag deviations from the style guide for writer education.
- Evolve the style guide based on content and audience growth.
- Adapt content format to match search intent (e.g., listicle for transactional, guide for informational).
- Ensure content sections begin with the main point.
- Structure content into self-contained, clearly answered chunks for citation.
- Format key claims as clear subject–predicate–object statements.
- Identify and correct phrasing that appears optimized for crawlers rather than people.
- Ensure link text is specific and descriptive.
- Evaluate content for originality, expertise, and value beyond existing information.
- Assess content for demonstrated expertise through sourcing, credentials, and depth.
- Distinguish between AI-generated content and content requiring human experience or judgment.
- Design and document repeatable editorial workflows, including briefs, review stages, and approval gates.
- Provide writers with specific, actionable feedback explaining the principles behind changes.
- Audit top-performing content to understand its competitive advantages.
- Align content pieces with Inspira's broader content strategy.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional editing experience in digital publishing, content marketing, or a similar field.
- Demonstrated ability to provide before/after editing samples.
- Excellent command of grammar, structure, and style, with the judgment to adapt rules.
- Experience owning or significantly shaping a house style guide.
- Proven track record of providing feedback that improves subsequent writing.
- Genuine curiosity about AI's impact on content structure and discovery, with practical adaptation experience.
- Comfort working with subject-matter experts and non-professional writers, including diplomatic pushback.
- Strong organizational skills for managing editorial workflow across multiple pieces and stakeholders.
- Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven startup environment.
- Experience editing for a competitive, high-stakes audience (admissions, higher ed, professional services, or similar) is preferred.
- Familiarity with SEO fundamentals (intent matching, natural anchor text, avoiding over-optimization) is preferred.
- Experience building or documenting editorial processes from scratch is preferred.
