About Inspira Education

Inspira Education Group is one of the fastest-growing edtech startups in the US. We started with a simple mission to democratize access to high-quality coaching so that every student in the world has an equal opportunity to access the best opportunities.

As the world’s leading network of top admissions coaches in medical, legal, business, and college studies, we’re building software and services in one place—disrupting long-entrenched application processes with products and experiences that strive to provide an equal platform for candidates from diverse backgrounds worldwide.

As one of the fastest-growing edtech firms in the world, we are backed by some of the leading venture capital firms and investors in the world, including Zeev Ventures, Quiet Capital, Craft Ventures and Jeff Fluhr (Founder of Stubhub).

The Role

Inspira is looking for an Editor, Digital Content to establish the quality bar for everything we publish. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who can catch a misplaced modifier and a misleading heading structure in the same read-through, who edits with the authority to push back on subject-matter experts, and who understands how content actually gets found, read, and cited — by people and by AI systems alike.

You'll work directly with coaches, subject-matter experts, and the content team to take drafts from rough to publish-ready across our blog, guides, and marketing content spanning medical, legal, business, and college admissions. You'll be equally comfortable tightening a sentence and explaining why it needed tightening, so the writers you work with get better every time you touch their work.

This role also sits at the center of how Inspira thinks about content quality as a discipline - from house style to editorial workflow to how we prepare content for an AI-driven search landscape.

This is an in-person role that requires 5 days a week attendance in our NYC office (NoMad)

What You'll Do

Edit for quality, at the sentence and structure level

• Catch spelling, grammar, factual, and formatting errors before anything ships
• Rewrite passive constructions into active voice; push plain language over jargon
• Cut words that don't add meaning; tighten bloated sentences
• Verify heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3) is logical and accurate
• Trace claims, stats, and quotes back to primary sources; flag anything unverified
• Define proper nouns and terms on first mention within each section, not just once at the top

Own and apply the style guide

• Apply Inspira's house style consistently - punctuation, capitalization, formatting, tone
• Flag deviations rather than silently fixing them, so writers internalize the rules
• Evolve the guide as our content and audience grow, building buy-in rather than dictating

Edit for how content is found and used — by readers and by AI

• Match content format to search intent (listicle for transactional, guide for informational)
• Ensure sec

curiosity about how AI and AI-driven search are changing content structure and discovery, with practical experience adapting to it

• Comfort working with subject-matter experts and non-professional writers, including pushing back diplomatically but firmly
• Strong organizational skills managing editorial workflow across multiple pieces and stakeholders
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven startup environment

Preferred

• Experience editing for a competitive, high-stakes audience (admissions, higher ed, professional services, or similar)
• Familiarity with SEO fundamentals - intent matching, natural anchor text, avoiding over-optimization
• Experience building or documenting editorial processes from scratch
• Background in content strategy, not just line editing

Why you'll love Inspira

• Amazing people with a great vision and values
• Mission-driven team culture focused on student success
• Your work directly impacts the lives and careers of students across the globe
• Health, dental, and vision insurance, base plans 100% employer paid
• Pre-tax benefits (HSA, FSA, DCFSA, Commuter)
• Flexible paid time off (PTO) and paid holidays
• 401(k) with company match

The total compensation for this role is $85,000 - 100,000. Actual salary is dependent upon several factors, including the applicant's experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity among our team and geographic location. The pay ratio between base pay and target incentive will be finalized at the offer. The pay range is subject to the discretion of the Company.
