Who We Are

Single Grain is an award-winning digital marketing agency that’s been helping companies like Amazon, Uber, and Salesforce grow since 2009. We specialize in Paid Media, SEO, Content Marketing, CRO, and more—and we practice what we preach: our blog brings in over 200,000 monthly visitors, our podcast has 100+ million downloads, and more than 140,000 marketers subscribe to our YouTube channel.

We move quick, push hard, and expect a lot—from ourselves and each other. AI isn’t just a tool we use—it’s core to how we operate, from creative to strategy to execution. Our long-term vision is to build a small but elite team that stays lean, scrappy, and relentlessly focused on tech-enabled innovation and measurable business impact.

We don’t micromanage. We don’t hire people who need their hands held. But we do collaborate deeply, give honest feedback, and leave space for mistakes, growth, and iteration. No egos, no fluff—just people who care about doing great work and supporting each other in the process.

What You’ll do

• Edit AI-Generated Drafts: Refine AI and ClickFlow outputs for grammar, readability, tone, and brand alignment.
• Verify Accuracy & Originality: Fact-check every claim, eliminate fabricated info, and ensure 100% originality through plagiarism checks.
• Enhance Quality & Clarity: Improve structure, flow, and engagement while adding human insight, examples, and CTAs that connect content to client services.
• Apply SEO Fundamentals: Optimize metadata, headings, internal/external links, and snippet formatting to match search intent and Google’s ranking signals.
• Collaborate & Communicate: Partner with SEO Managers to finalize drafts, leave clear edit notes, and give feedback on recurring AI patterns to help refine future outputs.
• Deliver Client-Ready Content: Maintain zero-error standards and on-time delivery for all projects — ensuring your edits are final-draft quality.

Your primary KPIs will be:

• Zero factual, grammatical, or SEO-related errors in final drafts.
• Require no more than three SEO adjustments per blog post after manager review (e.g., keyword focus, meta refinement, or internal linking tweaks).
• Client-ready drafts delivered on time ≥98% of the time.
• Positive feedback from SEO Managers on content completeness, structure, and clarity.
• Demonstrated contribution to client organic traffic growth and keyword performance improvements.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience editing long-form digital content: blogs, service pages, ebooks, or thought leadership.
• Expert command of grammar, spelling, and readability, with a consistent record of zero-error deliverables.
• Skilled in fact-checking, data validation, and source verification.
• Familiarity with SEO best practices: keyword usage, heading structure, metadata, and internal linking.
• Experience tailoring tone and brand voice across industries and audiences.
• Ability to identify and fix AI hallucinations and transform AI text into authentic, value-driven copy.
• Proficiency with editorial and SEO tools (Grammarly, plagiarism checkers, Google Docs, CMS platforms).
• Strong communication skills — able to leave clear edit notes and articulate reasoning behind editorial choices.
• Comfortable managing multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining meticulous attention to detail.

If you're excited about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in content editing —and want to be surrounded by people who expect the best from themselves and each other—we’d love to hear from you. Just don’t forget: Editing is cool.
