  • Oversee HTML layout and final content production using DIA-authorized publishing tools (e.g., DocBuilder).

  • Coordinate closely with technical editors, managing editors, designers, and dissemination teams to ensure on-time daily publication.

  • Produce and submit a Daily Status Report documenting completed work, production issues, and resolutions.

  • Maintain and archive final versions of all DID products in designated shared drives.


Required: 

  • Active TS/SCI clearance with CI polygraph (required) 

  • Bachelor’s degree in English, Journalism, Communications, or a related field
    OR five (5) years of relevant professional experience in proofreading or editing in lieu of a degree.

  • Minimum three (3) years of experience in proofreading, editing, or production control of written products, preferably within the DoD or U.S. Government.

  • Demonstrated experience applying style guides, editorial standards, and production controls in a high-volume publishing environment.

  • Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications.

  • Exceptional attention to detail and ability to meet strict daily deadlines.

  • Ability to work extended hours (evenings/weekends) as required to support daily publication cycles.

Desired: 

  • Prior experience supporting intelligence community or DoD publications.
