The Role
PufCreativ is looking for an Editor (Contract/Part‑Time) to join the team on a contract basis. This role supports the writing team by providing editorial oversight across all content streams.

5+ years of professional editing or copyediting experience (agency experience strongly preferred)

Exceptional command of grammar, punctuation, AP style, and editorial best practices

Ability to adapt to and maintain multiple brand voices across diverse clients

Strong understanding of SEO content principles (keyword integration, readability, meta optimization)

Comfort working in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environment with a high volume of deliverables

Excellent communication skills and the ability to give clear, kind, actionable feedback

Reliable, self‑directed, and organized with strong time management

Strong command of AI tools and best practices, with the ability to use AI strategically to improve efficiency, streamline workflows, support decision‑making, and enhance overall work quality while maintaining accuracy and human judgment.

Bonus Points

Experience in the cannabis or hemp industry
