The ideal candidate has an eye for detail, a strong command of grammar and a knack for refining content without altering the original tone or message.

Estimated work time: 5 to 15 h/week.
Responsibilities:
• Proofread and edit manuscripts for clarity, consistency and cohesion.
• Correct spelling, punctuation and syntax errors.
• Provide constructive feedback to editors and suggest necessary revisions.
• Ensure that all content conforms to the company’s style guide.
• Collaborate with the writing team to maintain the thematic integrity of the work.
• Meet publication deadlines without compromising quality.
• Other tasks:
• Perform various tests such as AI and plagiarism detection.
Qualifications:
• Proven experience as an editor in the publishing industry.
• Good knowledge of neutral English language, grammatical rules and writing styles.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and willingness to communicate with team members and management.
• Detail orientation and critical eye for inconsistencies.
• Ability to work independently with little supervision.
• Proficient in MS Office.
• Professional experience in finance and business or higher education.
• Ability to relate to teenagers and young adults through writing.
If you are not a freelancer, please refrain from applying. Currently, we are not hiring employees.
To apply for the job:
• Provide samples of previous work related to editing (preferably in the financial/business niche).
• Start your message with 2-3 sentences explaining why you are interested in this position and why you are right for it. Please do not exceed 3 sentences, as longer applications will be eliminated.
Be sure to follow all the steps outlined above. If I decide to interview you, we will conduct a brief video call via Teams, during which you will need to have your camera on. The interview will be conducted in both English and Spanish languages.
Thank you,
Christian
