• A keen eye for detail and a passion for editing and improving scientific text.
• Excellent written and spoken English, along with strong computer skills (Excel and Word).
• The ability to manage tight deadlines and handle high workloads effectively.
• Knowledge of Adobe InCopy or audio editing would be an advantage but is not essential.
• An enthusiastic team player who takes pride in delivering high-quality work.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

• Receive world-class training and development to help you grow and excel.
• Enjoy perks like our Summer Ball (an overnight stay at an amazing UK location), regular socials, private healthcare, and mental health support.
• Work in a supportive environment that values collaboration and teamwork.
