A Little Bit About Us: You might know us from our founder and CEO, Dave Ramsey, who’s given no-nonsense money advice on the radio since 1992. Three decades later, Ramsey Solutions is a household name in personal finance, with a mission to change the toxic money culture for good.

Our Mission: Ramsey Solutions provides biblically based, commonsense education and empowerment that give HOPE to everyone in every walk of life.

Where and How You’d Work:

Headquarters is located just outside of Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee. We value our strong, unified company culture because we believe the best work is done together. That’s why all of our team members work on-site under the same roof. But work-life balance is also important to us, so we offer flexible work schedules to take the stress out of appointments, family obligations and other needs that may pop up.

While every team member has a designated workspace (with an electronic sit-stand desk), our campus was designed to house a variety of unique work and play zones (e.g., quiet library space, coffee bar/lounge areas, recreational game zone, and outside/patio work and break areas).

What You’d Do in This Role:

We’re on the hunt for a highly skilled, detail-obsessed Copy Editor with a sharp eye, a love for language, and a ridiculously high work ethic. This role isn’t for a writer who edits on the side—we’re looking for someone who lives and breathes editing copy. You’ll work across a wide variety of content—articles, web pages, emails, and paid ads—focusing on topics like taxes, investing, insurance, real estate and wills. From fact-checking stats and math (yes, numbers too!) to shaping the big-picture flow and polishing every last detail, you’ll ensure our content is both accurate and compelling.

You’ll join the RamseyTrusted team, a group of 200+ team members (including 15 writers!) who are passionate about creating life-changing content, and you’ll collaborate closely with our tight-knit team of nine copy editors. Together, you’ll sharpen each other’s skills while helping millions of people take control of their money and their futures.

You’re Probably a Match If:

• You have 3+ years of professional copy editing experience (i.e., not just editing your college roommate’s papers)
• You have expertise in the AP Stylebook and Chicago Manual of Style and the ability to adapt to in-house style guides
• You have proficiency in editing electronically with Microsoft Word’s track changes feature (familiarity with Adobe InCopy and CMS platforms is a plus)
• You have strong communication skills, an ability to manage consistent work with varying deadlines, and a spirit of collaboration for working with writers, marketers and team leaders
• You have an open mind and teachable spirit—we don’t edit like other companies, so sometimes we break the rules (but you have to know the rules to break them)

What Winning Looks Like:

• Ensuring every written piece is edited with excellence and promptly returned to the original writer for finalization
• Serving as a fact-checker in every written piece to verify the accuracy of math, statistics, Scripture references, names, dates, phone numbers, addresses, URLs, etc.
• Making sure all written content is in line with Ramsey Solutions’ message, statistics, tone and voice and helping with the ongoing development of content and guidelines
• Building authority and trust and contributing strategically to RamseyTrusted in team meetings and throughout the content creation process
• Collaborating with other copy editors to create standards for the editing team

Other Stuff to Know:

We’re looking for people who are passionate about our mission. This isn’t just a J-O-B. We experience resistance every day because what we believe is absolutely countercultural. We actually hate debt. We actually cut up our credit cards . . . like, for real. Some of us are still fighting our way out of debt, but we aren’t going back.
