No other company in the world provides the same holistic investment offering: our superpower is the combination of human insights and unique investor-led content with a global expert network. We serve over 1,000 investment firms, offering clients 24/7 coverage through our team of 1,300+ employees located across twelve offices.

Position Overview

Third Bridge’s Community content is generated from 1:1 consultations between investors and leading industry experts. Interviews are recorded, transcribed, quality checked, anonymised and made available to our client base via our Forum platform following an embargo period.

As this content type continues to grow rapidly, we are recruiting a Proofreader to join our Editorial team and transform raw, verbatim transcripts of technical conversations into polished, error-free end products that are highly accurate, digestible, navigable and consistent in style, and that our clients can trust. Though starting with a focus on our Community product, you will eventually be trained on the editorial styles/tasks of all of our transcript-based content types and support with creating editorial guidelines for new products. 

You will be responsible for…

• Editing and proofreading transcripts, ensuring each one is accurate, clear, grammatically sound, anonymised and aligned with our internal Style Guide 
• Curating specialist profiles that highlight the experience that is most relevant to the piece of content
• Researching market events, acronyms, abbreviations, terminology, figures and other important datapoints/information to ensure they are captured accurately
• Making client-centric editorial and prioritisation decisions 
• Distributing content to clients, always following strict Compliance requirements when doing so
• Consistently delivering high-quality content to strict daily deadlines while managing time effectively across multiple workflows and tasks
• Proactively and quickly resolving issues with internal and external stakeholders to get content to clients as soon as possible 
• Escalating transcription errors and Style Guide misalignments, and contributing to the development of internal guidelines and processes to continually improve our content quality

A successful candidate will…

• Have a meticulous eye for detail, with outstanding listening, research and proofreading skills 
• Have an exceptional command of English spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation
• Have confidence to make editorial judgements that balance consistency, adherence to internal guidelines and client experience 
• Demonstrate a curiosity and ability to read text with two mindsets – as an editor and as a reader – to identify and fix stylistic errors and subtle mistranscriptions, and to make edits that actively improve content 
• Be a reactive self-starter who can deliver results independently and balance multiple tasks, deadlines and workflows effectively
• Be able to communicate effectively in written and verbal formats with stakeholders globally

You will gain…

• Exposure to technical content spanning across a range of industries and topics, from cloud computing, retail and pharmaceuticals to aviation, semiconductors and real estate, and themes from ESG to macroeconomic updates
• Thorough ongoing training on editing in several styles and contexts and on effective prioritisation that keeps client impact/experience at its core
• Access to first-hand insights from industry experts, ranging from C-level executives at multinational corporations to employees of local start-ups
• Experience of contributing to the development of exciting new products and guidelines that will influence Third Bridge’s company-wide Style Guide

• 3+ years’ professional experience in a proofreading/editorial role 
• Bachelor’s degree
• Familiar with financial content and business and/or industry-specific terminology
