Associate Editor Jobs in District of Columbia

An Associate Editor in the publishing industry is responsible for various tasks including managing the editorial process, reviewing and editing content, coordinating with authors, and ensuring the accuracy and quality of the published material. They play a crucial role in content development, from concept to publication, including proofreading, fact-checking, formatting, and sometimes even writing. As part of a team, they work closely with senior editors, writers, and designers to deliver high-quality content, ensure deadlines are met, and uphold the company's editorial standards and guidelines.

Key skills for an Associate Editor include excellent written and verbal communication, strong attention to detail, good organizational and time management abilities, and proficiency in using editing software.
