StudioBinder builds production management software used by filmmakers, agencies, brands, and creative teams to plan and collaborate on productions. Alongside the platform, we run one of the largest educational resources in the industry: our blog reaches 1M+ readers a month, and our social media accounts including YouTube has over 2.9M+ subscribers/followers.
The blog is how most filmmakers first discover us. Search is now splitting between Google and AI answer engines, and we intend to be the source both of them cite when creators look for answers about production.
The Role
This role is not for someone who wants to edit at a comfortable pace. If you obsess over rankings, citations, and the craft of a great article, this is the seat.
You will own StudioBinder's blog end to end: what gets published, how good it is, and how it performs in Google and in AI answers (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude).
You are a hands-on editor, not a strategist who hands the work off. You review drafts from freelance writers and graphics from our designer, send precise fix lists, and publish. You use AI to move fast, and you check everything it produces before it ships.
Then you turn what works into a system: briefs, standards, and AI workflows that let the blog publish at volume without dropping quality. You would be reporting directly to the VP of Marketing.
Responsibilities
Publishing & Quality
- Publish a minimum of 10-15 high-quality, fresh articles every week
- Review every draft and graphic before it ships, and send clear fix lists to writers and designers
- Own the publishing calendar, the pipeline, and publishing in WordPress
SEO & AEO
- Keyword and prompt research, outlines, and briefs writers can execute against
- On-page optimization, internal linking, and schema and structured data
- Test content formats and structures to learn what earns AI citations, and turn what works into standards
- Refresh existing ranking articles based on their current position, without breaking what already works
Measurement
- Track AI citations, rankings, qualified traffic, and sign-ups in SEMrush, Ahrefs, Search Console, and Google Analytics
- Review performance with management weekly and report what moved and why
Systems & AI Workflows
- Build AI workflows (Claude, ChatGPT) for research, briefs, refreshes, internal linking, and QA
- Document the editorial playbook so writers and designers hit the standard without daily check-ins
Requirements
- 3+ years in SEO, including SEO-driven editorial work (SEO editor, managing editor, or content lead)
- 1+ year actively working on AEO or AI search visibility, with shipped work you can show us: the pages, the citations they earned, and how you measured them
- A clear understanding of how answer engines retrieve and cite sources, and how to structure content so it gets cited
- Working technical SEO: structured data and schema, internal linking, crawlability and indexation, Core Web Vitals basics
- At least one quantified result you drove (citations, organic traffic, or sign-ups), with the baseline and how you measured it
- A track record of publishing at volume without letting quality slip
- Strong command of SEO tools (SEMrush, Ahrefs, Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Rank Math or Yoast) and WordPress
- An eye for detail that extends to images, layout, and links, not just copy
- Proven ownership: you set the pace, follow up without reminders, and close loops. Steady tenure is a plus.
- Interest in filmmaking, video production, or creative tools is a strong plus
Results
What success looks like in this role:
- 10-15 high-quality articles published every week, on schedule
- Measurable growth in AI citations for our core topics
- Measurable growth in organic traffic and sign-ups from the blog
- Writers and designers ship at your standard with fewer revision rounds
- A documented playbook and AI workflows that let the blog scale output without scaling headcount
Location & Compensation
- Fully remote. Must be based in California.
- $55,000 - $75,000 base salary. Final salary depends on experience, skills, and level.
StudioBinder Core Values:
Our core values shape how we work and who thrives here. The right person for this role will recognize themselves in each of them, hold themselves to them, and understand why each one matters to building a great company.
Artful Ingenuity
Approach every endeavor with the imagination of an artist and the resourcefulness of an inventor. Create work that is not only thoughtful and effective, but also original, expressive, and inspiring.
Courageous Initiative
Be the first to step forward when something difficult needs doing. Eagerly seek challenges that stretch your abilities, embracing the unfamiliar and uncomfortable as opportunities to grow and achieve greater things.
Expedient Mastery
Pursue competence quickly through established knowledge and proven methods. Study and replicate great work to accelerate learning, avoid unnecessary reinvention, and build upon the achievements of those who came before.
How to Apply
Apply through Indeed with your resume and a short cover letter. In your cover letter, include:
- One piece of AEO work you shipped: the page, where it gets cited, and how you measured it.
- One StudioBinder blog article and the three changes you would make to improve how it ranks in Google and how often it gets cited in AI answers.
Keep it brief. We read every one, and these answers matter more than your resume.
Important: A note about scammers
All official emails come from @studiobinder.com (e.g. john@studiobinder.com). If an email arrives from a slightly different domain (e.g. @studiobinder.net or @studio.binder), it is likely a phisher. We will never request personal or banking information up front. Please do not reply to suspicious emails. Instead, report them in your email client as phishing.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Content Editor
Verify your role meets specialty occupation
USCIS requires your Content Editor position to demand a specific bachelor's degree, not just any degree. Review the O*NET occupation profile for editors to confirm the degree-field alignment before applying to roles.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search Migrate Mate's employer database to find companies that have filed Labor Condition Applications for editorial roles. Active LCA history signals a sponsorship-ready HR process, not a first-time attempt.
Document your editorial specialization clearly
Generalist writing experience weakens H-1B petitions. Build a portfolio that demonstrates a defined specialty: SEO content strategy, technical editing, or a specific industry vertical. USCIS adjudicators look for degree-to-role specificity.
Ask employers about cap-exempt filing options
Universities, nonprofits, and certain research institutions are cap-exempt, letting them file H-1B petitions year-round without lottery exposure. Content Editor roles at academic publishers or university marketing teams often fall under this category.
Use the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the DOL prevailing wage for your role and location. Run the OFLC Wage Search for your job title and metro area so you negotiate from an accurate baseline.
Plan your timeline around the cap-gap period
If you're transitioning from F-1 OPT, your employment authorization extends automatically during the cap-gap period while USCIS adjudicates your H-1B. Confirm your employer files before your OPT expires to avoid a work authorization gap.
H-1B Visa Content Editor: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Content Editor role qualify for H-1B sponsorship?
Yes, provided the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as communications, journalism, English, or marketing. Roles that accept any degree regardless of field are harder to approve. Your employer's job description should specify the required degree field, and your credentials should match it directly.
Which types of employers sponsor H-1B visas for Content Editors?
Tech companies, digital media publishers, e-commerce brands, healthcare systems, and enterprise software firms are consistent H-1B sponsors for editorial roles. Universities and nonprofits can file year-round as cap-exempt employers. Browse Content Editor roles filtered by H-1B sponsorship history on Migrate Mate to identify active sponsors in your target industry.
What documents should I prepare before a Content Editor H-1B petition?
Your employer will need your academic transcripts, degree certificates, and a credentials evaluation if your degree is from outside the U.S. For editorial roles, a portfolio demonstrating specialized expertise strengthens the specialty occupation argument. If your degree is in a field adjacent to your role, a formal credential evaluation from a NACES-member organization helps USCIS establish equivalency.
Can a Content Editor role support an H-1B if I have a degree in a different field?
Possibly, but it requires stronger documentation. USCIS accepts alternative qualifications if you can demonstrate that three years of specialized work experience substitutes for one year of formal education. A graduate degree in a related field can also help bridge the gap. An immigration attorney can assess whether your specific combination of education and experience is defensible.
How does the H-1B lottery affect Content Editor job seekers?
Most Content Editor roles fall under the standard H-1B cap, meaning your petition enters the annual lottery held in March for an October 1 start date. If you're not selected, you can re-register the following year or pursue cap-exempt employers in the interim. Premium processing is available for an additional USCIS fee and speeds up adjudication to 15 business days once selected.
