Description
The QuickBooks Resource Center serves as practical guidance for business owners, general managers, financial professionals, and IT managers at companies growing rapidly. As the team creating the resource center, our job is to support companies as they move along, sustaining or growing their businesses however they want to.
We aren’t doing content marketing or writing blog posts, we are building a media company on behalf of QuickBooks. To quote the quarry worker’s creed, “We who cut mere stones must always be envisioning cathedrals.”
We are looking for a deputy editor to help us build a publication of stories, insightful guides, and actionable advice. The deputy editor will work remotely, for 40 hours per week. We are accepting applications for this position until October 3, 2019. Interested in joining us?

- Available to edit 20 1,500-word articles per month (line editing, fact-checking, logic and conceptual editing, rewriting when needed)
- Experienced with nurturing a team of freelance writers and providing them with constructive feedback, as well as receiving feedback from editors and business managers
- Willing to spend time meeting with and understanding key stakeholders, and organizing editorial processes
- Resourceful in solving problems (e.g., asking questions through cold emails for research, or picking up the phone to interview people, etc.)
- As interested in finding readers (through SEO, syndication, guest posts, etc.) as you are in editing articles
We are:
- Supporting rapidly growing businesses in sustaining themselves or growing to the next level
- Invested in supporting you to become a better editor

- Eager to build a team that meets regularly and supports one another
