Slickdeals offers its freelancers competitive rates for articles, open communication with editors and the freedom to work creatively. 

Slickdeals connects 11 million monthly users with the best products at the best prices. We strive to help shoppers win everywhere, including by providing them with helpful and entertaining articles to help inform their decisions. 

Responsibilities

Our Freelance Editors are responsible for fact checking, copy editing and formatting finance articles for publication. Articles can range from 300-3,000+ words, covering finance topics such as banking, credit cards and taxes. Additionally, Freelance Editors may be tasked with minor article updates or fact checking live articles. 

The ideal candidate should have impeccable editing skills (an eye for spotting inaccurate details is a must) as well as a working knowledge of finance products. This person should feel comfortable suggesting nuanced tonal or formal adjustments that help each piece reach its full potential.

  • Strong fact-checking skills - this role often requires you to cross reference multiple sources in order to discern accuracy of facts.  
  • Excellent grammar and impeccable attention to detail
  • Ability to communicate effectively with full-time editors to ensure potential factual errors are clearly communicated and addressed. 
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including an expert level knowledge of English language, spelling and punctuation

  • Knowledge of proofing marks and procedures
  • Experience maintaining consistent style guide procedures across multiple pieces of content
  • Ability to handle multiple projects with close attention to priority and tight deadlines, including next-day and same-day turnarounds
  • Proficiency in Wordpress or similar CMS (familiarity with Gutenberg is a plus!)
