Copy Editor

What we do

ManageEngine (a Zoho company), founded in 2002, builds enterprise-level IT management software. Offering over 90 products and free tools to more than 180,000 organizations worldwide (including three out of every five Fortune 500 companies).

Who we are

ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation, isn't your average tech company. Privately held and deeply committed to solving problems through global collaboration, our organization believes in experimentation, iteration, and following your instincts. Although this team is based in Texas, the bulk of our colleagues live and work in Chennai, India, so when we sit down to problem solve, it often takes place across time zones, cultures, and sometimes languages.

What we're offering

We're looking to bring on one salaried employee to copy edit marketing material and other content. The Chennai-based marketing teams generate thousands of words each day in the form of direct-email campaigns, press releases, blog posts, case studies, e-books, video scripts, and other marketing content. Our review team checks and revises content to ensure that it is clear, compelling, and easy to understand.

Copy editors look for:

• Correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, terminology, style, and usage.
• Errors, omissions, inconsistencies, jargon, and needless repetition.
• Ambiguities and anomalies.
• Overall flow and effectiveness.

Copy editors must have an excellent command of U.S. English, a keen eye for detail, and critical thinking skills that allow them to see inconsistencies and other unconvincing elements in the work. They must also have excellent interpersonal skills, which allow them to communicate effectively with ManageEngine writers and other copy editors.

To apply, submit a resume and cover letter. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to take a revising test.

What we're looking for

Our ideal candidate feels equally comfortable with technology, marketing, and the principles of English grammar. Copy editors require patience, dedication, and attention to detail, as well as good instincts for how to position a product. Ability to consistently adhere to our style guide is a must. Our editors will be expected to:

• Edit a variety of marketing content—including webpages, blogs, mailers, and e-books—as per ManageEngine’s style guide; pay particular attention to content’s grammar, clarity, and tone.
• Collaborate with writers and other editors to produce high-quality copy, often under tight deadlines.
• Research subject matter as needed to verify content’s technical accuracy.
• Build strong relationships with content creators, and provide feedback on how writers can improve.

Required qualifications

• Advanced understanding of the mechanics of English grammar
• Exceptional writing skills
• Persuasive rather than autocratic disposition
• Patience and resilience
• Inclination toward independent learning
• Willingness to teach and explain
• Respect for diverse cultures

Compensation and terms:

• Hourly compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience.
• Full-time positions will be offered a full suite of generous benefits, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, and company-sponsored 401k.

The most successful Zoho team members are:

• At home in a diverse, multicultural workplace.
• Quick on their feet.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and complexity.
• Flexible and patient, with an "all hands on deck" attitude.
• Comfortable with giving and receiving constructive feedback for the benefit of the team.
• Authentic.
