Content Manager / SEO Editor

We are a US-based CPA and tax advisory firm with a growing digital presence across financial, tax, and accounting topics. We're looking for a Content Manager and SEO Editor to own our content operations — commissioning, editing, and publishing high-quality articles, service pages, and guides that rank, convert, and hold up to scrutiny in a heavily regulated niche. If you've worked in financial or legal media, you'll feel at home here.

Who we're really looking for Someone who has worked at a financial, legal, or tax-focused online publication — think a staff editor at a personal finance outlet, a legal news site, or a compliance-focused newsletter. You understand that accuracy in this space is not optional, and you know how to translate complex regulatory language into clear, useful content without dumbing it down.

Responsibilities

Content strategy & editorial

• Own the editorial calendar — plan, assign, and publish content aligned with SEO priorities and business goals.
• Commission and brief freelance writers; manage relationships and quality standards across contributors.
• Edit all content for accuracy, clarity, tone, and SEO — including service pages, blog articles, and landing pages.
• Ensure every piece of content meets E-E-A-T standards: authored, sourced, and verifiable.
• Maintain and enforce a house style guide appropriate for a professional CPA firm.

SEO content operations

• Collaborate closely with the SEO Manager to translate keyword strategies and content briefs into published pages.
• Write and optimize title tags, meta descriptions, H1/H2 structure, and internal links across the site.
• Conduct content audits — identify thin, outdated, or duplicate content and lead consolidation or update efforts.
• Manage the content production pipeline from brief to publication, including developer handoff when needed.
• Monitor content performance in GA4 and GSC; use data to inform editorial decisions and identify update opportunities.

Accuracy & compliance

• Fact-check all financial, tax, and legal claims before publication — this is a YMYL site and accuracy is non-negotiable.
• Coordinate review of technical content with CPAs and enrolled agents on the team.
• Stay current on IRS updates, tax law changes, and regulatory developments relevant to content topics.
• Flag and escalate any content that ventures into legal or financial advice territory requiring professional sign-off.

Requirements

• Native English speaker — this is a firm requirement, not a preference.
• 3+ years of content editing or content management experience, ideally at a digital publication or media outlet.
• Strong background in financial, legal, tax, or accounting content — or demonstrated ability to edit in these areas accurately.
• Working knowledge of SEO best practices: keyword research, on-page optimization, content structure, internal linking.
• Experience using Google Search Console, GA4, or similar tools to evaluate content performance.
• Exceptional editorial judgment — the ability to rewrite a confusing paragraph, catch a factual error, and tighten a headline, all in the same pass.
• Comfortable working with a CMS (WordPress preferred) and basic familiarity with HTML formatting.
• Strong project management skills — able to manage multiple contributors and deadlines simultaneously.
