About the role
We're looking for a freelance SEO copywriter and content editor to help grow organic visibility for ig.com/uk and ig.com/ie. You'll split your time evenly between writing and editing – shaping reactive, news-led content around live market events and refining evergreen guides – with a strong focus on turning AI-generated first drafts into accurate, polished, publish-ready copy.
