What Is a Copy Editor?
As a copy editor, your responsibilities and duties include reviewing written material, called copy, before it is put into print or posted online. You examine the material for grammar and spelling mistakes and structural errors. You also ensure that the tone, tense, and style meet the guidelines set out by the publisher. If you work in journalism for the copy desk of a news organization, you not only proofread but also fact check and make sure there is no slanderous content. You also check headlines to ensure they are attention grabbing and grammatically correct.

- Evaluating insights projects' novelty in the generative AI era, along with their alignment with both target audiences' informational needs and Deloitte's expertise and business priorities, to help find the sweet spot where Deloitte can offer clients insights of unique value
- Serving as a storytelling strategist, advising on optimal ways to communicate the given insights-including determining the right content type(s) for the given insights, and leveraging multimedia or multimodal storytelling and communication skills to develop copy to suit the medium (reports, articles, infographics, videos, dashboards, etc.)
- Adapting to the needs of the given project, and serving as anything from ghostwriter to editor to infographic copywriter to scriptwriter to help tell the story successfully; when editing, having the perspective and agility to know how to calibrate your effort based on the state of the copy and the realities of the project-sometimes digging deep and suggesting developmental edits and sometimes just giving copy a light polish for grammar and style
- Respectfully and diplomatically helping authors tell their own stories effectively given their messaging objectives, target audiences, and personal voices as writers, while also advising them on how to ensure their insights' novelty, accuracy, clarity, utility, and audience engagement, and adherence to editorial best practices; demonstrating an expert ability to improve someone else's work without leaving your own mark on it overtly
- Acting as a champion for Deloitte's audiences, with a deep understanding of their content consumption behaviors, and advising authors accordingly
- Stewarding each project through the full content development process, coordinating with authors, designers, marketing, and other internal teams to ensure that project objectives are accomplished, expectations are clear, and timelines are accurately set and met
- Editing copy for factual accuracy, grammar, punctuation, readability, flow, and style, and applying SEO and GEO best practices
- Leveraging generative AI per firm and team policies and standards, as a supplemental tool to increase your efficiency, while still ensuring that all projects are still thoroughly human-designed, -developed, -led, and -vetted
- Coaching Deloitte content creators on language usage, writing style, storytelling effectiveness, and Deloitte Insights' production processes
Our DI publishing team comprises editors and copy editors, production specialists, designers, and other multimedia publishing professionals located across the US and around the world. The editor will report to the DI editor in chief in the United States.

- Exceptional writing and oral communication skills; proven ability to translate complex concepts into easily digestible terms
- Excellent attention to detail, laser focus on quality, and demonstrated ability to clarify a story's main message
- Journalist's instinct for fact-checking and critical thinking; ability to read research with healthy skepticism, ask probing questions about data and methodology, spot logical gaps or overstatements, and ensure precision in language around statistics and research findings
- Outside-in orientation, considering all content projects from the perspective of the target audience and their needs/interests
- Versatile editing and writing skills, from writing engaging headlines and short-form web copy to developmentally editing long-form research reports on complex topics
- Experience with creating multimedia content
- Excellent stakeholder management and interpersonal skills, including the confidence to interact with and influence personnel at all levels, as well as listening skills, responsiveness, flexibility, initiative, decision-making, conflict resolution, and tact
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word, content management systems, and workflow and collaboration tools such as Workfront, Microsoft Teams, etc.; knowledge of Excel and PowerPoint
- Ability to manage multiple projects with quick turnaround times simultaneously
- Ability to work independently, as well as with a larger, multifunctional team
- Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship, now or at any time in the future
