NerdWallet is looking for an experienced copy editor with an entrepreneurial spirit. The copy desk acts as the readers’ advocate, ensuring that NerdWallet’s articles are consistently engaging, clear and useful. To be a successful copy editor at NerdWallet, you must:
Edit consistently at a high level, demonstrating expertise at not only grammar and style but also at story organization and reader experience.
Go beyond a traditional copy-editing role, helping to uplevel co-workers and taking on projects that benefit the entire content team.
Be comfortable with change on a dynamic, growing Content team of 140+ people.
Where you can make an impact:
Copy-edit and write headlines at a consistently high level.

Recognize when elements of an article seem out of alignment with a good user experience and recommend solutions.
Give constructive feedback to writers, assigning editors, and fellow copy editors.
Be a strong communicator who truly enjoys helping everyone improve.
Go beyond surfacing teamwide problems to offer expertise, conceiving of solutions and helping to implement them.
Look for opportunities to extend your influence beyond the copy desk, such as through projects where desk participation can make a difference.
You are:
Adaptable and eager to grow, including working toward roles of greater responsibility on the copy desk or elsewhere on the editorial team.
An expert editor and editing coach.
Able to handle the logistics and demands of large projects.
Good at making prioritization decisions, spending an appropriate amount of time on each task in an editorial workflow with daily deadlines.
Excellent at prioritization and balancing multiple tasks at once.
Resourceful and self-directed. You can tackle anything from copy-editing assignments to projects with minimal direction, and you always deliver polished work.
