01 The Job You’re a seasoned editor, proofreader, and fact-checker with an impeccable grasp of grammar rules (and when to break them), an innate sense for how words work and play together, and an obsessive eye for detail. As an Associate Editor in World Vision’s 40-member Internal Agency, you’ll join three other experienced and dedicated editors. Together, you’ll help ensure that the Agency’s copywriting, and that of other internal groups and external agencies as requested, reflects World Vision’s brand voice (a big part of which is our Christian identity), aligns with established program and brand messaging, flows beautifully, and is free of errors. When it comes to copy, you have a passion for seeing both the big picture and the small details, with an eye for connecting dots and a deep commitment to excellence. You love working at a fast pace on a wide variety of deliverables, from copy through design to final productionlike marketing emails, direct mail packages, video scripts and subtitles, campaign materials, magazine articles, catalog copy, social media posts, digital content, and more for audiences that include mass-market donors, the general public, high net worth individuals, churches, corporations, and humanitarian industry professionals. You’re passionate about process, because consistency is key to a great outcome. You’re skeptical enough to ask hard questions, proactive about filling in your own knowledge gaps, and zealous about meeting deadlines. You also love to laugh and find deep satisfaction in building collaborative relationships with your co-workers. And fundamental to your life: You’re inspired by your faith in Jesus and your deep understanding of God’s Word to love your neighbors and use your skills to inspire others to create lasting change. Does this sound like you? Want to be a part of creating the future of this incredible organization? We’d love to hear from you.

02 What success looks like You help ensure that the copy you review shines, delivering excellence through your own efforts and cementing the reputation of your team by eliminating errors and suggesting improvements at every stage of a project’s internal review process. By staying up to date on organizational brand requirements, World Vision program specifics, and global humanitarian issues, you ensure that the projects you work on reflect house style, align with established messaging, and convey information accurately. And your work inspires your team members and other communicators throughout the organization to apply the World Vision brand consistently and compellingly.

05 You bring You have a bachelor’s degree in a language-related field like English, communications, or journalism, or 8 years of equivalent work experience.
