We're ambitious and thrive in a fast-paced environment, always on the lookout for curious, passionate and solution-driven individuals to join our ranks.

• Conduct thorough quality checks to verify that creative assets are free from design/production errors, align with approved briefs, brand guidelines and client specifications.
• Fact check quotes, claims, names, locations, dates, etc.
• Flag inconsistencies in naming conventions, dates, URLs, logos, legal dis‑claims and other detail-sensitive elements.
• Maintain and apply QC styles guides, updating them as needed to reflect evolving standards and client preferences.
• Manage the QC stage of the production workflow, ensuring deliverables are reviewed and approved before release.

• Draft, edit and refine internal communications including team announcements, process documentation, policy updates and all-staff memos.
• Support leadership in crafting clear, on-brand internal messaging that keeps the team informed and aligned.
• Contribute to internal knowledge-sharing documents, onboarding materials and templates that improve team efficiency.
• Support copy writers with client facing tactical writing and covering vacations where needed

• Partner with creative and account teams throughout the production cycle to catch issues early and provide clear, actionable feedback.
• Build and maintain checklists and QC templates that streamline the review process across different deliverable types.
• Participate in post-mortems and quality reviews to identify recurring issues and recommend process improvements.

• 2-4 years of experience in a proofreading, editorial, QC or communications role, ideally within an agency or fast-paced creative environment.
• Demonstrated experience reviewing a wide range of formats…
