Kettle is a team of passionate, fearless creatives focused on delivering great products, redefining best-practices, and providing new opportunities for our clients.
We are hiring Production Editors to join our team working on end-to-end digital website projects for one of our largest clients, a Bay Area based creative tech company. In this embedded role, you will act as a copy editor and proofreader, while also helping manage copy as it moves through creative reviews and into digital placements.
These roles require team members to be onsite 5 days per week, for 2-3 months at a time, for specific projects. At other times during the year, the team is remote.
Candidates should be comfortable:
• Partnering with Copywriters to copyedit decks and proofread design comps and builds
• Becoming a product expert to be able to read copy in multiple placements with an eye toward accuracy and consistency
• Setting up copy decks using templates (or building copy deck templates as needed)
• Communicating global copy changes that affect multiple deliverables
• Drafting accessibility copy using a template and/or AI tool
• Drafting alternative versions for global partners based on existing copy
• Managing copy after creative reviews as it moves into production, including reviewing and making edits in website builds
• Communicating copy changes to developers in as clear and as concise a way as possible
We’d like to know that you have:
• At least three years with specific copyediting and proofreading experience
• A sharp eye for detail and excitement about learning the intricacies of new products
• Comfort with learning new tech tools, and an interest in developing new systems that help creative teams work more efficiently
• Comfort with proofreading quickly when needed
• Comfort with collaboration, proactive communication, and considering many opinions
• Experience and familiarity with working on a Mac, and using Pages and Box a plus
• Digital agency experience
The target range of compensation for this role is $75k - 110k and accommodates multiple levels. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and location.
