What You'll Do


Would you like a long-term freelance partnership?

Are you looking for projects you can complete from the comfort of your current location?

Does the flexibility of setting your own schedule and hours worked per week sound like a fit for you?


Responsibilities


As an experienced professional in your field, you'll get to review a variety of interesting content projects to verify industry accuracy. You will:

Review content for correctness. Is the information in a project true for your industry?

Identify sections or points in copy that need clarification. Can a concept be better explained, and how?

Recommend and suggest changes that our top-notch team of writers and editors can implement within projects. What needs to change, and how, to ensure content is educational and factually accurate?


When things get too hot or too cold, or if the pipes that make essential modern-day residential and commercial plumbing systems go awry, our clients offer technicians, services and parts to keep these crucial operations running. The content you review will share HVAC and plumbing best practices for homeowners and large-scale commercial operations. Projects will also advocate for the value of hiring or purchasing from a company with years of training, experience and adherence to recognized national and international standards. 


Location


This position is fully remote! Work from anywhere as long as you have a great internet connection and a comfortable workspace.


Time commitment


How much time can you commit per week? We're looking for someone who can confidently commit 1-4 hours per week — and if our client demand expands, increase to as much as ~10 hours per week.


Our project management team will align your workload based on your scheduling availability, which you'll communicate to us each week. Here's a review of the workflow:

Projects should be accepted or declined within 48 hours of receiving them.

After 48 hours with no response, they will be removed from your queue.

If you accept the project, you will have 48 hours from the day of acceptance to complete your project review.


What You'll Get


Longevity: We love working with committed team members! Current team members in this position have been in the role for over 10 years.

Competitive Flexible Schedule: As an independent contractor, you get to choose your optimal work schedule and have the convenience of working from home.

Compensation: Hourly rates from $35 to $65 per hour. Compensation depends on certifications, education and work experience.

Make a Difference: WebFX strives to not only improve the lives of our clients and everyone who works for them, but to make a tangible difference on a global level as well. Through #FXBuilds, our goal is to positively changes the lives of 10,000 people by 2024. Your work will contribute to #FXBuilds by helping us reach client goals!

Please know that your information is kept on file and you will be the first to be contacted when a position becomes available!
