ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What you'll do
We're looking for an experienced copy editor to ensure all the content we publish reflects our house style and meets our quality bar for excellence. Our Copy Desk sits within the Narrative and Editorial team, and is responsible for copy editing all kinds of marketing content—blog posts, guides, reports, infographics, customer stories, emails, web pages, ads, video transcripts, and more. In addition to editing content, you'll also update and maintain our style guide and other editorial documentation, customize and refine AI writing and editing tools, and improve our operational processes to keep Copy Desk running smoothly.
Responsibilities
- Review and copy edit all kinds of marketing content to apply our style guidelines and uphold our quality bar. Ensure fidelity to our voice and tone, eliminate errors, replace jargon with plainspeak, and turn clunkiness into grace.
- Continuously amend, improve, and clarify our style guide as we encounter and solve new problems, and as our voice and standards evolve.
- Build and maintain AI tools the Copy Desk team can use in the editing process, as well as self-serve tools that marketers can use upstream from bringing content to Copy Desk for review. This requires no technical skills. You'll use our existing internal platform for this.
- Iterate on our existing operational processes for intake, queue and service level management, and quality assurance. Find ways to move faster and do more as we scale and the review volume increases.
WHO YOU ARE
You're a dedicated copy editor who fully understands the power of clear, precise prose. You have a firm grasp of voice and tone and know how to adapt it across different formats—from email nurture campaigns to educational articles to social media posts. You're a stickler for proper style, grammar, and punctuation. You also bring a strategic and growth mindset to your team—you're ready to drive the programs that reinforce a culture of high-quality writing, and partner with cross-functional teams to continually revise Copy Desk processes.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
- Minimum 5 years working as a copy editor across channels and experience with a breadth of content formats, in marketing or other fields
- Experience working with a diversity of teams, including those with regional considerations, with an understanding of the subtle differences required to succeed in each context
- A passion for copy editing and a deep understanding of the importance and power of well-written prose
- Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Journalism, Communications, English, Creative Writing, or related field
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience working with creative or design teams
- Experience writing and editing technical content
- Broad understanding of the mechanics and objectives of B2B marketing teams

WORKING REMOTELY AT STRIPE
A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.
PAY AND BENEFITS
The annual US base salary range for this role is $143,400 - $215,200. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Copy Editor
Match your degree to the role definition
PERM labor certification requires the employer to define the minimum qualifications before advertising. A bachelor's in English, journalism, or communications directly tied to copy editing duties supports the specialty occupation argument and reduces RFE risk on your I-140.
Build a portfolio that documents specialized expertise
USCIS scrutinizes whether Copy Editor roles meet EB-2 advanced-degree standards. Assemble clips, editing style guides you authored, and any specialized subject-matter experience, such as legal, medical, or technical editing, to demonstrate credentials beyond general writing ability.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Publishing houses, media conglomerates, academic presses, and large content agencies have established PERM workflows and legal teams. Use Migrate Mate to filter Copy Editor roles by employers with documented green card sponsorship history, so you apply where sponsorship is already standard practice.
Verify prevailing wage before negotiating your offer
Your employer must pay at least the DOL prevailing wage for the Copy Editor SOC code in your work location. Cross-check the OFLC Wage Search before you receive an offer letter, because the certified LCA wage becomes a floor that cannot be reduced during the green card process.
Understand PERM recruitment requirements upfront
DOL requires employers to run a mandatory recruitment campaign, typically spanning 30 to 60 days, before filing PERM. If a qualified U.S. worker applies during that window, the process restarts. Ask hiring managers about their PERM timeline and whether they run concurrent H-1B visa and green card filings.
Prioritize EB-3 if your degree is a bachelor's
Most Copy Editor positions are classified as professional roles under EB-3, which requires a bachelor's degree and has no annual numerical cap concerns for many nationalities. Confirming which category your employer will file under early prevents delays caused by misclassification later in the PERM process.
Green Card Copy Editor: Frequently Asked Questions
Do Copy Editor jobs typically qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 green card sponsorship?
Most Copy Editor positions qualify under EB-3 as professional roles requiring at least a bachelor's degree in English, journalism, or a related field. EB-2 sponsorship is possible when the position requires an advanced degree or the employer can demonstrate the role involves specialized research-level editorial work. Your employer's PERM attorney determines the appropriate category based on the actual job duties and minimum requirements.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B sponsorship for Copy Editors?
H-1B sponsorship is temporary, capped at 65,000 registrations annually, and subject to a lottery. EB-3 green card sponsorship has no annual numerical cap for many nationalities and leads to permanent residency rather than a renewable temporary status. The trade-off is timeline: PERM labor certification alone can take six months to over a year, making the green card path longer but more stable than cycling through H-1B renewals.
How can I find Copy Editor employers who sponsor green cards?
Use Migrate Mate to search Copy Editor roles filtered by employers with documented EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history. Publishing companies, academic institutions, legal publishers, and large media organizations are the most consistent sponsors because they have in-house HR processes and immigration counsel already set up for PERM filings.
What documents should I have ready before a Copy Editor PERM sponsorship begins?
Gather your official academic transcripts, degree certificates, and any foreign credential evaluation reports. Compile a detailed employment history with dates, titles, and duties that align with the Copy Editor role definition. If you have specialized editorial credentials, such as certifications in medical or legal editing, include those too, as they strengthen the employer's PERM and I-140 supporting documentation.
Can my employer start PERM while I'm still on an H-1B or OPT?
Yes. PERM labor certification can be filed regardless of your current nonimmigrant status. Many Copy Editor candidates on H-1B or OPT begin the green card process concurrently with their current authorization. Starting early matters because the PERM stage alone averages several months, and your priority date for adjustment of status is set when USCIS receives the I-140 petition, not when PERM is filed.
