Copywriter/Proofreader

Job Description

A Copywriter/Proofreader at Cain & Company isn’t just a grammar checker or someone who “knows how to write.” They’re a strategic content creator responsible for crafting and refining content that helps our clients communicate clearly and effectively. This includes writing for a wide variety of formats – ads, emails, websites, brochures, video scripts, and social media – and ensuring every piece of content is well-written, grammatically sound, and on-brand. 

Copywriter/Proofreaders work closely with our account managers and creative teams to produce high-quality marketing materials that support our clients’ goals and deliver real results.

Core Responsibilities

• Write clear, compelling content for digital, print, and video projects.
• Proofread and edit content to ensure it meets agency and client standards for grammar, clarity, accuracy, and consistency.
• Adjust tone and voice based on client brand guidelines and project goals.
• Collaborate with our team to align content with strategy and design, offering strategic input or creative suggestions when possible.
• Occasionally work directly with clients to better understand project scope and campaign goals.
• Conduct background research on client industries, target audiences, and competitors to inform content direction.

Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in marketing, communications, English, journalism, or a related field.
• 2 years of experience in a writing, editing, or content creation role (agency or marketing setting strongly preferred).
• Strong command of grammar, clarity, tone, and structure across various formats.
• Working knowledge of general marketing principles – including SEO and digital content best practices.
• Ability to write with performance, readability, and brand alignment in mind.

You would be successful in this role if…

• You love writing and proofreading – it’s not just your hobby, it’s your thing.
• You can take a complicated topic and make it feel easy to understand.
• You strike a balance between polish and purpose – delivering content that feels professional and on-brand but still speaks to the people it’s meant for.
• You’re confident working independently, but you love a good team brainstorm or collab.
• You take constructive feedback and use it to improve your work.
• You’re detail-obsessed (you catch the missing comma and the weird tone shift)
• You like solving problems – not just pointing them out.
• You can juggle multiple projects without losing track.
• You stay organized, hit your deadlines, and communicate if something’s off track.
• You understand how to handle confidential information professionally. 

Expectations (for accountability)

• 80% billable.

Featured Benefits

• Health insurance (100% covered for you and your immediate family) and dental insurance available
• Profit sharing 401(k) plan with employer match
• Paid time off and 10 paid holidays
• Hybrid work environment
