Protect your personal information throughout the recruitment process. While Monks may contact potential candidates via LinkedIn, all applications must be submitted through our official website (monks.com / careers).

About The Role

We are seeking a highly meticulous and detail‑oriented Proofreader to temporarily join our creative team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for checking different types of digital assets, ensuring 100% accuracy, clarity, and consistency across various formats and channels. This role is essential for delivering flawless final assets under strict deadlines.

Our ideal candidate is a grammar guru who enjoys working on a variety of projects, is passionate about hunting down typos and ensuring clarity, and works fast and flexibly to get the job done. They can stay humble while pushing the work forward in an environment that encourages expression, inclusivity, and collaboration.

Responsibilities

  • Proofreading & Quality Assurance (QA) : Conduct final, comprehensive proofreading across all creative assets, including web copy, social media posts, email campaigns, presentations, and video scripts.
  • Accuracy & Grammar : Scrutinize documents for errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and formatting.
  • Style & Consistency : Verify adherence to the client’s established brand guidelines, tone of voice, style guides, and specific terminology lists.
  • Fact‑Checking : Conduct basic fact‑checking to ensure all claims, numbers, statistics, and references are accurate and correctly cited (where applicable).
  • Version Control : Work closely with Copywriters and Project Managers to manage multiple rounds of revisions and ensure the final approved version is the one released.
  • Deadline Management : Prioritize workload effectively to meet tight production schedules and delivery deadlines.
  • Team Player : Foster an environment that focuses on knowledge sharing and group participation.

About You – The Essentials

  • Experience : At least 3 years of professional experience as a Proofreader, Copy Editor, or similar role, preferably within an agency or high‑volume creative environment.
  • Technical Proficiency : Exceptional mastery of English grammar, syntax, punctuation, and style rules. Ability to discern differences between various types of English (e.g., American English versus Canadian English).
  • Attention to Detail : Demonstrated ability to spot minute errors and inconsistencies that automated tools often miss.
  • Software Skills : Proficiency with Google tools such as Gmail, Docs, and Slides, and collaboration tools (e.g., Slack).
  • Process Knowledge : Familiarity with creative workflows and version control processes.
  • Communication : Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to clearly explain suggested corrections and style decisions.
  • Experience working with Tech and Social Platforms industries.
  • Familiarity with accessibility standards and SEO best practices related to content.
  • Not a Must, But a Plus

  • Experience working in a remote or distributed team environment.
  • At Monks, we believe in fostering an environment where a diversity of perspectives can thrive. We proactively work to design hiring processes that promote equity and inclusion while mitigating bias. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we serve.

    Monks is committed to ensuring equal access and participation for people with disabilities. We are committed to treating people with disabilities in a way that allows them to maintain their dignity and independence. We believe in integration and are committed to meeting the needs of people with disabilities in a timely manner, by removing and preventing barriers to accessibility and by meeting our accessibility requirements under local accessibility laws.

    This role is subject to our Return to Office (RTO) policy. If you reside within a commutable distance of one of our office locations, you will be expected to work from the office a set number of days per week. The specific details, including the number of required office days, will be in accordance with the company’s then‑current RTO policy, which is subject to change from time to time.

    Monks has provided a compensation range that represents its good faith estimate of what Monks may pay for the position at the time of posting. Monks may ultimately pay more or less than the posted compensation range. The salary offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on job‑related factors, but not based on a candidate’s sex or any other protected status.

    Salary Range $2—$5 CAD
