Remote Proofreader

Careerscape is recruiting on behalf of our client, a growing content and media company, for an entry-level Remote Proofreader to join their editorial team. This is a great opportunity for a detail-oriented word nerd to start a career in publishing and content quality, catching errors before they ever reach a reader's eyes.

Day to day, you will spend your time reading closely, comparing drafts against style guides, and flagging anything that looks off, from typos and punctuation slips to inconsistent formatting. People who thrive in this role have a sharp eye, genuine patience for repetitive review work, and pride in sending out clean, polished copy every time.

Responsibilities
  • Review written content for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors
  • Check copy against internal style guides for consistency
  • Compare edited drafts to original source material for accuracy
  • Flag factual inconsistencies, broken links, and formatting issues
  • Collaborate with writers and editors to resolve unclear passages
  • Track revisions and maintain version control on documents
  • Meet daily and weekly proofing deadlines across multiple projects
  • Maintain a tracker of recurring errors to share with the content team
  • Suggest improvements to style guides based on common issues found
  • Provide a final quality check before content is published
Requirements
  • High school diploma required, Bachelor's degree in English, Journalism, or Communications preferred
  • Excellent command of English grammar, spelling, and punctuation
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to spot inconsistencies quickly
  • Familiarity with AP Style or similar style guides
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment
  • Ability to manage multiple deadlines without sacrificing accuracy
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and basic editing tools
  • Prior internship or coursework in writing or editing is a plus
  • Reliable internet connection and a quiet home workspace
Benefits
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401k plan with company match
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Fully remote position with flexible scheduling
  • Home office stipend for equipment and supplies
  • Opportunities for professional development and growth
  • Employee assistance program
  • Collaborative, supportive editorial team culture
