Description
For over 17 years, Wisevu™ and our sister agencies Homevu™ and CharityMarketing.com have helped US&Canadian companies succeed through world‑class marketing. We are a stable, fully remote team of 25+ specialists, and we're looking for a Managing Editor to lead our content production.

Support Writers: Provide actionable, constructive feedback to the writers to improve their craft over time

Coordinate Handoffs: Ensure polished content moves seamlessly to our uploaders to go live

Anchor Content: Personally write "cornerstone" or high‑difficulty pieces that require a more sophisticated touch or deeper technical nuance. You will spend roughly 20% of your time writing high‑stakes content and 80% of your time refining the work of others

Client Interviews: Participate in deep‑dive client discovery calls and content review calls

Requirements Who You Are

Fluent in English: Professional‑level written and spoken English

Marketing Expert: A deep understanding of consumer behavior, positioning, and great marketing

Organized: You enjoy a clean workflow and take pride in meeting deadlines through good planning

Experienced: You have 3+ years in an editorial or content management role, preferably in an agency environment

Educated: You hold a Bachelor's degree in Marketing, English, Communications, or a related field

Detail‑Oriented: You have a sharp eye for high‑quality marketing, tone, and factual accuracy

Collaborative: You know how to maintain high standards while being a supportive and professional teammate

Benefits Why Join Us

Stability: Join a proven agency with nearly two decades of success

Fully Remote: A mature remote culture built on exceptional processes and systems that make remote work enjoyable.

Focus: We’ve simplified our SEO model to focus on Topical Authority, meaning less "technical bloat" and more focus on great content

Diverse Impact: Work on a variety of industries, including medical practices, home services brands, and charities/NPOs. As well as diverse content types

Career Rewards: Highly competitive salary, benefits, and growth opportunities
