[Hiring] Editor, Consumer Industry @Deloitte

Role Description

Deloitte Insights is Deloitte’s global publishing imprint for business research and insights.

• Ensuring the intellectual rigor and credibility of all published insights by applying a journalist's curiosity and skepticism—asking tough questions about data sources, methodology, and conclusions; maintaining precision in language around claims and statistics; and challenging assumptions before publication.
• Evaluating insights projects’ novelty in the generative AI era, along with their alignment with both target audiences’ informational needs and Deloitte’s expertise and business priorities.
• Serving as a storytelling strategist, advising on optimal ways to communicate the given insights.
• Adapting to the needs of the given project, and serving as anything from ghostwriter to editor to infographic copywriter to scriptwriter.
• Respectfully and diplomatically helping authors tell their own stories effectively.
• Acting as a champion for Deloitte’s audiences, with a deep understanding of their content consumption behaviors.
• Stewarding each project through the full content development process, coordinating with authors, designers, marketing, and other internal teams.
• Editing copy for factual accuracy, grammar, punctuation, readability, flow, and style, and applying SEO and GEO best practices.
• Leveraging generative AI per firm and team policies and standards, as a supplemental tool to increase your efficiency.
• Coaching Deloitte content creators on language usage, writing style, storytelling effectiveness, and Deloitte Insights’ production processes.
