About the Job

The Corporate Marketing department develops strategies and creative executions in collateral, online, direct, and print advertising—as well as public relations—to build awareness and strengthen Commonwealth’s brand identity among our target audiences.
Do you enjoy tinkering with other peoples writing to help them communicate their ideas, thoughts, and concepts in a clear and engaging way? Do you keep the audience at front of mind, and are are you proactive in identifying potential issues? Do you ask smart questions. Are you willing to do a little digging to find the answers?
Do you also posses the rare skill of being able to dot every “i” and cross every “t” (not some, not most, but EVERY) in a document? Can you make sure that every comma, colon, dash, and semi-colon are in place? Can you ensure that each word is spelled correctly? Do you know when to use an en dash verses an em dash?
As a copy editor in our marketing department, you will be juggling a number of projects—often with competing deadlines. From magazine articles to conference materials, to corporate forms, web content, and more—with your help, not only will the writing be top-notch, but you’ll also be insuring that our materials are error-free. The ability to wear a copy editor hat and a proofreader hat at the same time is essential.

Our new copy editor will be someone who’s able to work in a fast-paced environment, remain calm under pressure, and maintain consistency. A confidant self starter that is comfortable working on their own and doesn’t need a lot of handholding. If that sounds like you, please send us your resume.
We know its a tall order. Not everyone is capable of being a “great” copy editor and proofreader. It demands a unique ability to be able to go line by line and character by character to make sure that a document is perfect. And we demand perfection! We don’t want an average or good individual for this position. You must be great—and beyond. If you think you’re more than up to the task, by all means, stand up and be counted!
By the way, there are a number of errors scattered throughout the above job description. Identify all of them correctly when you submit your resume, and you will be considered. Miss one, and you will not hear from us. If you cannot find any, please do not apply. Good luck!

The ideal candidate would also meet the following requirements:

• Exceptional grasp of the English language
• Knowledge of Chicago Manual of Style, a plus
• Excellent command of proofreader’s marks
• 4+ years of copyediting experience
• Familiarity with and experience editing financial-related material
• Can handle multiple tasks and deadlines (and maintain 99.99% accuracy)
• Comfortable working independently
• Able to focus in a fast-paced and sometimes noisy environment
• BS/BA in English, preferred
• Flexible work schedule—this is a part-time position, but you may be called upon to work full-time, as needed
