Media fragmentation, changing consumer behavior, the rise of search and social, and the need to avoid commoditization are transforming the practice of marketing and communications. As a Technology Editor at Quietly, you’ll be integral in helping deliver content that is flawless and answers the brief. Along with substantive editing, copyediting, fact-checking, and working with our network of freelance writers, you’ll prepare and proofread strategic documents, assist in formatting and packaging content to make it client-facing, and even pitch in to write content from time to time.

We are looking for an experienced Editor with a history of working on technology topics aimed at business owners, IT leaders, and engineers in categories that include cybersecurity, fintech, and tech-enabled transformation, among others.

This is a full-time opportunity offering a competitive base salary, three weeks of vacation, a comprehensive benefits package, and gym access. Our headquarters are located in the heart of Gastown in Vancouver, Canada. Remote work is a possibility.
