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.
