• Collaborate with copywriters, editors, designers, and marketing teams to execute projects.
• Manage the workflow of copy and assets, ensuring they meet client standards.
• Partner with creative leadership to maintain processes and deadlines.
• Participate in post-launch analysis and apply findings to improve future projects.
• Define best practices for content handoffs in collaboration with other teams.

You Have:

• 5-7 years of experience ensuring smooth copy flow between creative and production teams.
• Strong copy-editing skills, with an eye for consistency and adherence to style guides.
• Deep knowledge of the creative development process and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
• A passion for editing and delivering well-crafted messaging.
• Exceptional attention to detail, multitasking abilities, and the flexibility to handle changing schedules.
• Strategic thinking and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A positive, solution-oriented attitude and eagerness to learn from others.
• A strong understanding of digital production tools and the ability to learn new ones quickly.
