The Nitty Gritty

The backstory on the company and why they need to hire you!

This booming, woman-owned, data-driven company pairs patients with research studies, enabling life-saving drugs and procedures to come to market faster. Every year for the past four years, the company has doubled in size, and it’s poised for even more growth in 2023.

To keep up with this rapid expansion, they’re looking for a detail-oriented Proofreader to join their creative team and review clinical research materials. You will be entrusted with the responsibility of proofreading websites, paid social ads, landing pages, organic social posts, banner ads, brochures, and more. Copy editing will be required at times. You will also be expected to find proper sources for lines of copy and ensure consistency and accuracy across all materials for each project. Obviously, you will be tasked with proofreading content written by copywriters for print and online features, making corrections, finding spelling and grammatical errors, spotting typographical errors, and checking for consistency and accuracy. If it makes your skin crawl to see the wrong use of “they’re,” “their,” and “there,” then this is surely the gig for you.
