SEO Content Editor – Remote | LATAM | Higher Education Marketing

About The Role

A performance marketing agency working with universities and nonprofit organizations is hiring an SEO Content Editor to help strengthen the quality and performance of long-form SEO content, program pages, and AI-search visibility.

You'll work within SEO-driven content workflows — including content produced through AirOps — collaborating with the SEO team, content writers, and account teams to ensure articles meet high editorial standards and support search performance goals.

This is a remote role, working with a U.S.-based agency and paid in USD.
