Content Editor (English – Aus/NZ & US/CA), Travel Industry

Content Editor (English – Aus/NZ & US/CA) We’re looking for a creative, detail-oriented content editor to support the Leatherback Travel proofreading team on a casual/temporary basis, with the potential for a longer-term collaboration. Different isn't a buzzword here, it's who we are! We create travel itineraries that inspire people to join the Leatherback community and experience memorable, unique, off-the-beaten-track adventures around the world. We're looking for a proofreader-editor who can help ensure every piece of copy reflects our brand’s very specific writing style and feels cohesive, engaging, and authentically human. What you’ll be doing: - Editing and proofreading travel itineraries to improve clarity, flow, grammar, and overall quality - Ensuring all content follows our internal style guide and brand voice - Adapting content between Australian/New Zealand English and US/Canadian English (spelling, punctuation, word choice, and conventions) - Helping ensure every piece of content feels unmistakably Leatherback - Providing thoughtful edits that improve copy while preserving the original writer’s voice What we’re looking for: - Excellent English editing and proofreading skills - Strong attention to detail and a good feel for tone and readability - Experience editing marketing, travel, lifestyle, or editorial content (preferred, but not essential) - Ability to quickly learn and apply a brand’s writing style - Comfort working with different English variations (Aus/NZ and US/CA) A little about how we work: We have a specific approach to writing at Leatherback Travel, and we’ll onboard you into our style guide and content standards. We’re looking for someone who enjoys learning a brand voice and becoming consistent with it over time. We also care deeply about keeping our content human. While tools can be useful, we’re looking for an editor who relies on their own judgment, language skills, and editorial experience rather than AI-generated writing or automated editing. This is a flexible, casual role to start, but there may be opportunities for ongoing work if it’s a good fit on both sides. If you love refining content, spotting the small details others miss, and helping a brand communicate with own voice, we’d love to hear from you.
