As an Assistant Editor based out of our Cleveland, OH member center, you will use your strong grasp of syntax, punctuation, and the English language to proofread press releases written by our members for delivery to the media. Your razor-sharp attention to detail will be a prerequisite, as you edit, format, and occasionally help clients re-write their releases. As the face (or voice) to the member, your outstanding communication skills and ability to grasp our members' needs will allow you to build long-lasting relationships and establish a professional rapport while quickly meeting member demands, also in addition to identifying opportunities to upsell new services and products. Your strong computer skills will enable you to quickly learn our internal system. Our dynamic environment will keep you on your toes, so a flexible attitude and a strong customer-service approach will be needed. Although a background in a related field is a plus, highly motivated entry-level candidates with a strong interest in the industry will also be considered. Learn the ins and outs of the industry in a setting where discussions about global politics, government, business, and the economy are just part of the job!
