Job Description

Copy Editor - Temporary, Full Time, Remote

Position Overview:

IANS is seeking a professional, deadline-oriented Copy Editor to join our research department in a full time, temporary role. As part of a team, you will work to ensure all IANS client-facing materials are clear, concise, consistent, complete and credible, and that text is well written, grammatically correct and accessible. Yours will be the last eyes on the content we produce, so your primary task is ensuring the IANS brand remains synonymous with top quality.

This is a full-time position available on a temporary basis - it is open immediately and will run into early December 2024.

Job Responsibilities Include:
  • Review materials (short- and long-form reports, polls, surveys, slide decks, graphics, etc.) to ensure they follow IANS templates and style guidelines, and that text is clear, consistent and error-free. This requires a strong focus on consistency for technical terms, acronyms, hyphenation, capitalization, fonts and formatting.
  • Work directly with editors and authors to check written materials for clarity, accuracy and consistency.
  • Work directly with our client services team to manage the process flow and ensure all client deliverables meet expectations and deadlines.
  • Format materials in both Microsoft Word and PDF.
  • Use our Sitefinity content management system to post all final/approved materials to the IANS internal client web portal, ensuring quality and accuracy.
  • Support the research team as needed on special projects, new products and more.
Job Requirements:

The qualified candidate will have 5+ years of proofing/copy-editing experience and a proven track record of quality and attention to detail. We are targeting individuals who demonstrate:
  • A thorough knowledge of the English language and AP style; familiarity with technical, IT and information security terms a plus.
  • Expert proficiency in Microsoft Office 365 applications, especially Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Familiarity with basic graphic design (for formatting purposes), is also encouraged.
  • A methodical working style, with strong concentration, accuracy and great attention to detail.
  • Ability to multitask and work on tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
  • Tact and diplomacy for negotiating changes with editors/authors.
  • Working knowledge of HTML/CSS and experience with content management systems (Sitefinity experience a plus).
  • BA in English or Journalism.
