This is a remote role, though we’d ideally like someone based in Shanghai who understands the city, its neighbourhoods, dining scene, expat life, and local practicalities. The work is paid per piece/article, with pay negotiable depending on experience and the level of editing required.
What you’ll do:
Edit and improve drafted articles for clarity, tone, accuracy, and flow. Add local insight, practical detail, and a human touch. Check facts, names, locations, and general accuracy where needed. Help maintain a consistent style across the site. Work with a high degree of autonomy and minimal supervision.
Requirements
- Strong written and spoken English.
- Good attention to detail. Ideally based in Shanghai, or at least very familiar with the city.
- Comfortable editing written work to ensure it sounds attractive and has a unique voice.
- Able to work independently and manage your own time.
Benefits
- Fully remote work.
- Paid per article/piece.
- High autonomy and flexible working.
- A start-up environment with room for the right person to grow.
- Potential for other opportunities and longer-term collaboration if things go well.
