Editor / Proofreader

Cali Jewel is a growing, creative, and digitally focused brand committed to producing high-quality content that connects with its audience. As our content operations continue to expand, we are seeking a detail-oriented and highly skilled Editor / Proofreader to join our remote team.

This position is ideal for someone with an exceptional command of written English, strong attention to detail, and a genuine passion for words. The successful candidate will ensure that written materials are clear, accurate, engaging, consistent, and aligned with Cali Jewel's brand voice before they are published or distributed.

The Editor / Proofreader will work across a variety of content formats, including website copy, blog articles, social-media content, marketing materials, email campaigns, product descriptions, press materials, internal documents, and other digital communications.

Position Overview

As an Editor / Proofreader, you will review written content from initial drafts through final publication. You will identify and correct grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, formatting, clarity, consistency, and factual or stylistic issues.

Beyond correcting mistakes, you will help strengthen the quality of our content. You should be comfortable suggesting improvements to wording, organization, tone, and readability while preserving the original purpose and personality of each piece.

The ideal candidate is meticulous without losing sight of the bigger picture. You should be able to identify a misplaced comma, but also recognize when an entire paragraph needs restructuring to communicate an idea more effectively.
