Editor

Web Design Awards runs an editorially-curated awards program that recognizes the web's best design work, judged year-round by working designers against a published rubric. We're looking for an Editor to help shape the editorial voice behind our winner coverage, judging write-ups, and index content — making sure every award page, teardown, and roundup is clear, accurate, and worth reading for the designers, agencies, and buyers who follow the index.

What you'll do

• Write and edit copy for award pages, Site of the Month features, and winner announcements
• Review submissions and judge commentary for clarity, tone, and consistency with the published rubric
• Produce the weekly roundup of winners, scores, and teardowns for the newsletter and blog
• Edit contributed posts, judge interviews, and category write-ups for grammar, structure, and accuracy
• Maintain editorial standards and style guidelines across the site's award listings and archive
• Collaborate with the jury and internal team to fact-check scores, credits, and studio attributions before publishing

What we're looking for

• Proven experience as an editor, copy editor, or content editor, ideally in a publication, media, or online directory setting
• Excellent command of written English grammar, style, and tone
• Strong attention to detail, especially when handling factual claims, scores, and attributions
• Comfort working with CMS or publishing tools and managing an editorial calendar
• Ability to give clear, constructive feedback to writers and contributors
• Interest in design, digital agencies, or the web design industry

Nice to have

• Familiarity with SEO best practices for editorial content
• Experience editing content related to design, technology, or creative industries
• Background judging or evaluating creative work against a rubric or scoring system
