Editorial Job Opportunity at Wayfair

Recent Villanova graduate and English major Maria McGeary has been working as a copyeditor at tech company Wayfair in Boston and has contacted us about a newly-available position as Associate Copyeditor.

Maria writes that it's "a demanding role that interfaces with several departments, including Marketing, Brand, Product Design, Engineering, and Product Management. Wayfair's copyeditors are incredible, sharp experts on the brand's voice and tone, and act as gatekeepers to Wayfair's audience, ensuring that our content and copy is consistently excellent. Editorial roles at a tech company like Wayfair are fantastic opportunities to exercise strong writing and critical thinking skills while learning about product management and tech.  Wayfair, notes Maria, is also "an awesome place to start out after graduation. The office is in the heart of Boston, the culture is ambitious, collaborative, and fun. Coworkers are friends, and the company has a great reputation."   Please feel free to contact Maria at mmcgeary@villanova.edu for further information.
