The Role
We’re looking for an experienced freelance copy editor to help us keep everything we publish sharp, accurate, and on-brand. If you cannot spot AI-generated text, this role may not be a fit for you.
You’ll copyedit and proofread content across our marketing and thought leadership channels. This is an ongoing, as-needed engagement averaging 2–5 hours a week, and it’s a good fit for an editor who wants a reliable B2B client alongside other work.
Scope of Work

- Edit for grammar, punctuation, clarity, consistency, and tone in line with LaSalle Group’s brand voice guidelines and house style.
- Deliver edits through tracked changes and comments in Word or PowerPoint.
- Query inconsistent content, figures, or claims for the team to verify.
- Help maintain and refine our style sheet as recurring questions come up.
Required Qualifications
- At least 3 years of professional copyediting or proofreading experience.
- Excellent written English and meticulous attention to detail.
- Fluency with tracked changes and comments in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
- A dependable record of meeting deadlines, including tight ones.
- Clear, proactive communication, with good judgment about when to query rather than change.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience editing B2B, consulting, or professional services content.
- Familiarity with life sciences, healthcare, pharma, or other regulated industries and their terminology.
- Experience editing slide decks and short-form social content as well as long-form copy.
Engagement
- Independent contractor engagement, invoiced monthly.
- Approximately 2–5 hours per week, varying with our content calendar.
How to Apply
- Send your resume, 1-2 before-and-after editing samples or writing samples, and your hourly rate.
- Shortlisted candidates may be asked to complete a short paid test edit.
