Freelance Fact Checker

The Content & Editorial team at Angi is looking for an experienced Freelance Fact Checker to join our growing team. We’re building best-in-class digital content to help our users learn how to improve and take care of their homes.

This is a freelance, independent contractor position. We are looking for availability between 20-40 hours per month, which can take place at your own schedule.

As a fact checker for Angi, you will work with the Content & Editorial team to fact check our cost data, ensuring all articles feature up to date and credible data for our readers. This is an essential role to our process to build trust with our customers.

You will work closely with Content Editors to review content drafts. You are expected to fact check existing cost data against our approved list of outside sources, interview pros in specific categories, collect findings, and communicate changes to the editorial team. You must have the ability scrutinize the small details (“Is $100 a realistic cost for this project?”) and the big picture (“Does this fact support the broader story theme?”). You are comfortable cold calling pros across a variety of categories and ask the right follow up questions based on their feedback.

Responsibilities will include:

Calling pros weekly to confirm cost data accuracy and record findings.
Fact checking data used across multiple articles to ensure consistent accuracy.
Performing in-depth research and cross-referencing of all online resources to ensure cost data is factually correct and original.
Checking for unreliable, outdated, false, or misleading sources and providing Editors with updated information.
Providing clear guidance to writers on sourcing changes and recommendations.
Aligning feedback with Content Editors to reduce contradictory edits.
Coordinating with Content Project Manager and Content Editors for assignments and feedback.
Recording time on projects accurately, submitting itemized invoices in a timely manner and following up on payment, as needed, directly with our Accounts Payable department.
