Attention to Detail: Exceptional command of grammar, spelling, punctuation and AP Style. Must have a microscopic eye for errors and inconsistencies.
Brand Voice & Consistency: Ability to learn and protect brand guidelines, tone, and messaging ensuring every deliverable is polished, accurate and on-brand.
Research Skills: Ability to conduct thorough research and fact-check content, distilling complex topics into clear key points.
Time Management: Strong organizational skills and comfort managing multiple projects and deadlines without sacrificing accuracy or quality.
Communication & Collaboration: Clear communicator who works well with writers, designers, account managers and clients. Open to feedback and able to apply it effectively.
