Communicate diplomatically with report authors to propose changes to content and structure, including cuts to material

  • Perform stylistic editing interventions, including revising for plain language and clarity, improving sentence structure and word choice, ensuring flow and readability, and eliminating wordiness
  • Review visual materials such as graphs, charts and tables and revise them to meet house style requirements
  • Liaise with inhouse graphic designers to facilitate the laying out of figures and of reports
  • Attend report review meetings and offer input as needed
  • Maintain version control throughout the editorial process and file versions appropriately
  • Proofread reports after layout to check for and flag fatal errors, bad breaks, typographical and formatting problems

Qualifications

  • Interest and/or experience in the public sector and public service
  • Note: Prior to an offer of employment, the top applicant(s) will be required to undergo a screening by the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC).
  • We thank you for your interest. Only those selected for further screening or an interview will be contacted.
