The scope of work for this role will lean heavily on fact-checking our video scripts and articles. However, we also expect to have other editorial tasks for you, such as updating published articles, internal linking and some ad hoc organizational tasks.

• Factual updates of articles via WordPress.

• Internal article linking tasks.

• Other editorial or organizational tasks, as needed.

• Ability to work in a timely manner so that editorial articles and video scripts can be published on schedule.

• Ideally should have an interest in cloud-based technology, like VPNs, cloud storage and project management.

• Consistent and Reliable Pay: We pay all our freelance team members promptly by the first of each month this means a consistent and reliable paycheck.

• Work Remotely: We are a fully remote team with workers all over the world, from California and Mexico to Kenya and Cyprus. As long as you have a consistent WiFi connection, where you live is up to you.

• Set Your Own Schedule: Great people don’t necessarily do their best work by staring at a monitor for eight hours straight every day. You’ll have the flexibility to design a schedule that allows you to do your best work, as long as you are able to regularly communicate with the team and meet your deadlines.

• Join a Fun, Diverse Team: We’re a fun bunch, and we foster inclusion and celebrate diversity. Here, you can be yourself.
