Marketing Copy Editor & Proofreader

Location: Buenos Aires (Butty)

Job Purpose

The Marketing Copy Editor & Proofreader provides editorial governance and quality oversight for marketing content across traditional and digital channels. The role independently reviews and evaluates content for clarity, accuracy, audience appropriateness, readability, structure, messaging flow, tone, brand alignment, and adherence to approved legal, regulatory, product, and client requirements.

Working across multiple lines of business and competing priorities, the role regularly exercises discretion and independent judgment when established guidance does not clearly dictate the appropriate editorial outcome. The incumbent advises stakeholders on brand and editorial standards, recommends substantive revisions, and is expected to influence final Assurant-branded deliverables through recognized editorial expertise.

The role applies approved legal and compliance direction rather than independently interpreting legal requirements. For client-branded materials, the role recommends edits consistent with the client's voice and tone guidelines, while the client retains final authority for its brand.
