Your main responsibility will be uploading and formatting content on our CMS while ensuring every page meets our quality standards. This includes checking SEO fundamentals, spotting editorial issues, and flagging gaps before content goes live.

You'll work in an environment where attention to detail matters and feedback helps everyone improve. • A team that values ownership: You'll work directly with the content and SEO teams, with real accountability from week one. This isn't busywork, you'll help keep critical publishing pipelines running smoothly. • A product people genuinely use: Headout helps people discover and book tours, attractions, and activities across the world.
