What is the difference between Copy Editor vs Proofreader?
| Aspect | Copy Editor | Proofreader |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Revises content for clarity, style, and consistency | Checks for grammatical, spelling, and punctuation errors |
| Work Stage | During the editing process before final publication | After editing, just before publishing |
| Skills & Credentials | Editing skills, strong language knowledge, often a degree in English or related field | Attention to detail, strong grammar skills, often a background in language or journalism |
| Work Environment | Publishing houses, media companies, freelance | Publishing, printing, online media, freelance |
While both Copy Editors and Proofreaders work to improve written content, Copy Editors focus on refining style, structure, and clarity during the editing process. Proofreaders primarily ensure the final text is free of grammatical and typographical errors before publication. Understanding these roles helps in selecting the right professional for your publishing needs.

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.

Editor, Consumer Industry - Senior Specialist | Deloitte Insights
Deloitte Insights is Deloitte's global publishing imprint for business research and insights. We publish 400+ articles, reports, and multimedia projects annually with the goal of educating, informing, and inspiring Deloitte clients and prospective clients on the business issues that matter most to their strategic agendas. From leadership and workforce evolution to AI and emerging technologies, to energy resilience and decarbonization, and beyond, Deloitte Insights (DI) publishes data-driven thought leadership for global C-suite and board-level executives and other organizational leaders across industries.
Recruiting for this position ends 8/10/26.
As an editor for Deloitte Insights, you'll work with subject matter specialists, researchers, data science and visualization professionals, designers, video strategists, and production specialists to develop research and insights projects ranging from reports and articles to infographics and videos. Your responsibilities will include:
- Leveraging your own subject matter expertise as an editor, as well as your overall business understanding and content skills when collaborating with Deloitte business leaders, internal and external thought leaders, research professionals, and publishing and marketing colleagues to strategize, develop, and execute research and insights stories on prioritized topics
- Ensuring the intellectual rigor and credibility of all published insights by applying a journalist's curiosity and skepticism-asking tough questions about data sources, methodology, and conclusions; maintaining precision in language around claims and statistics; and challenging assumptions before publication, working collaboratively with researchers and other subject matter experts to strengthen the work
- 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.

Required:
- Minimum 3 years of experience in writing, editing, and copyediting content in American English (business journalism experience strongly preferred)
- Bachelor's degree (preferably in English, literature, journalism, communications, or similar)
- Experience with writing and editing business articles and research reports
- Exceptional editing and copyediting skills, and mastery of US English grammar, conversational phrasing, and Associated Press style, and the ability to clearly and influentially explain edits to authors
- 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
Preferred:
- Experience working for a business news publication or in a publishing house
- Experience with corporate thought leadership and global, cross-industry content
- Experience working remotely with a global team
