Job description:

We are looking for an Editor with an eye for detail and expert knowledge of the English language to coordinate, review and edit content for improvement, as well as manage all steps in the publication process. A successful candidate understands what kind of writing is appropriate for business executives; can apply developmental editing skills to guide authors on utility and consumability; and strives to provide exceptional, informative and engaging content to clients.

• Help shape the development of policies, standards and procedures within the editorial team and in relation to improving the client experience.

• Help establish and implement quality controls throughout the workflow process.
