B2B Content Editor — LinkedIn & Thought Leadership

Native English editor to sharpen B2B thought leadership content (US-based, ongoing) We're WordCube, a language and localization company working with international enterprises on translation, multilingual content, and AI-assisted localization workflows. Our audience is senior: localization and global content leaders, marketing and communications teams, procurement, and international operations at multinational and technology companies. We produce our own source material. Our team has deep subject-matter knowledge and strong opinions about where the language industry is going — but we have drafts written by non-native speakers, and they don't yet read the way a well-edited piece in a US business publication reads. That's the gap we're hiring for. What you'd be doing You'd take our drafts — long-form articles, LinkedIn posts, newsletter sections — and edit them into publishable English content that a VP of Localization or a Head of Global Marketing would actually stop and read. Concretely, that means: - Editing 1–2 long-form articles per month (roughly 1,200–2,000 words each) from rough draft to publication-ready - Editing 4–6 LinkedIn posts per month, adapted from the same underlying research - Rewriting weak openings, tightening arguments, cutting repetition, and fixing structure — not just proofreading grammar - Removing the "translated-from-Chinese" and "written-by-AI" cadence that shows up in drafts and replacing it with natural US business English - Flagging claims that sound overstated, unsupported, or unclear, so we can verify or reframe them before publishing - Occasionally suggesting a stronger angle when the draft has a good idea buried in the middle, and returning every piece with a short editor's note — what you changed, what you'd flag, and why — so our team gets better at the drafts we hand you We'll give you the background material: our editorial guidelines, industry reference sources, and context on each topic. You won't be researching from scratch, and you won't be inventing content. You're the editor, not the ghostwriter. What we're looking for - Native English speaker, based in the United States (this is a requirement for this role, not a preference) - Several years of professional experience writing or editing B2B content for a business audience — agency, in-house content team, trade publication, or established freelance practice - Demonstrated experience with LinkedIn as a B2B channel: you understand that a good LinkedIn post is structurally different from a blog intro, and you can show us work that performed - Editorial judgment. You can tell the difference between a draft that needs restructuring and one that needs three sentences fixed, and you don't rewrite for the sake of rewriting - Comfortable with restrained, credible, non-promotional writing. We don't want hype, buzzwords, clickbait hooks, or "game-changing" anything - Reliable turnaround and clear communication Nice to have (genuinely a plus, not a filter) - Experience in or around the language services industry — LSPs, translation, localization, TMS platforms, multilingual SEO, international content operations - Familiarity with how AI is actually being used in enterprise content and translation workflows, beyond the headlines - Experience editing content written by non-native English speakers or subject-matter experts How this works - Fixed price per piece. We'll agree a rate per article and per batch of LinkedIn posts before work starts, and we're open to your proposed pricing based on your experience - Ongoing engagement — we're looking for one editor to work with over time, not a one-off project - Steady, predictable volume: roughly 1–2 articles and 4–6 posts a month, with room to grow if it goes well - We'd like to start with one paid trial piece (one article plus two LinkedIn posts) so we can both see how the collaboration works before committing to an ongoing arrangement To apply, please include: 1. Two or three samples of B2B content you wrote or edited — LinkedIn posts and long-form both welcome. If you edited rather than wrote it, say so, and tell us briefly what you changed 2. One or two sentences on what usually goes wrong in expert-written B2B drafts, in your experience 3. Your typical fixed-price range per 1,500-word article and per LinkedIn post Applications that open with a generic cover letter and no samples won't be reviewed. We read every proposal that includes real work.
