Business Insider Is Hiring A Part-Time Copy Editor

Business Insider is hiring a copy editor to cover two weekend shifts, with the possibility of also working weekday shifts in the future.

This is a part-time position that could turn into a full-time one.

This person will work in Business Insider's New York City headquarters, editing copy on screen for grammar, punctuation, spelling, sense, and Business Insider style.

We are looking for someone who can work quickly and independently, typically without the luxury of querying reporters and other editors.

Attention to detail is necessary but so is speed.

Requirements:

• Two years of copy-editing experience, preferably at a news website.
• Familiarity with AP style, content-management systems, social media, and instant messaging.
• Team player with a positive attitude and a sense of humor.
• Work the Saturday and Sunday shifts, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
• Pass a two-part editing test on page and on screen.
