Utrecht, 36 hours
The position
As an English Language Editor, you are responsible for the copy-editing and proofreading of Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory (FAR) publications and other English-language products (both electronic and print). You improve clarity, consistency and accuracy, ensuring FAR products meet the needs of target audiences and deadlines for publication. You provide professional advice on tone of voice, length and structure of publications, along with constructive and effective feedback to internal clients and editorial colleagues on how to improve grammar and style.
You produce and work to style guides, ensuring consistency in terminology, hyphenation, capitalisation and more. In addition, you help establish and monitor writing guidelines.
You’re familiar with matters relating to copyright, and can discuss and resolve any potentially libellous sections with the author.
As an English Language Editor, you provide in-house writing training, and you support colleagues in their daily work (for example, by checking artwork briefs to detail the content of illustrations).
Our department
From its cooperative and agricultural roots, Rabobank has grown to become the world's leading financial services provider for the food & agri sector. This role has been made possible in part by the bank's extensive knowledge of the many links in the food chain. This knowledge is generated, enhanced and distributed by the Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory (FAR) department.
The F&A Marketing and Media team (FAMM) consists of an editorial unit and a communications unit. FAMM manages the production and dissemination of FAR knowledge products and information. The editorial unit also acts as a quality-control unit, ensuring that FAR reports and presentations meet the highest quality standards.
The FAMM team is a mix of editors and communications professionals who seek to maintain the highest editorial standards, ensuring quality products delivered against tight deadlines. In addition to being quality-, deadline- and results-driven, new team members are encouraged to take initiatives to improve our editorial standards, and bring in or learn new skill sets and ideas related to publishing.
