Copy/Visuals Editor
REMOTE
Endpoints News, the go-to site for news and analysis about biotech and pharma, is seeking a full-time Copy / Visuals Editor. This role involves far more than checking copy for grammar, style and punctuation. We’re looking to up our game in everything from editorial graphics to our data visualizations, and achieve a new standard in our news copy.
The ideal candidate has a strong grasp on grammar, usage, spelling, and punctuation, who can copy edit a steady flow of daily news and longer-term projects, while giving our headlines and copy added SEO oomph. The Copy / Visuals Editor would also create graphs and charts on the fly for news stories and develop them for special reports and enterprise features, helping to further establish our distinctive look. They’ll also help jazz up and expand our presence on social media. A talent for juggling multiple projects is a must, as is an ability to work remotely with a far-flung, yet collegial group of fellow journalists. A sense of fun is a plus.
Daily responsibilities:
- Copy edit a steady flow of daily news and longer-term projects
- Create graphs and charts on the fly for news stories and features
- Social media editor posting on Twitter and LinkedIn
You should:
- Have at least one year of copyediting experience, internships included. Reporting and/or fact-checking experience also counts.
- Be well-grounded in grammar, syntax, punctuation and, preferably, AP Style and have a sense for SEO.
- Be ready and willing to jump into a fast-paced environment and able to take the initiative in handling daily work and longer-term projects.
- Experience with social media in a newsroom environment is a plus.
