The Congressional Budget Office seeks an editor with extraordinary talent—someone who can see both the forest and the trees, who can transform drafts if necessary, and who can catch small errors that others miss.
As part of the Editing and Publishing Services unit, CBO’s editors help ensure that the agency’s reports, presentations, and other publications are clear and accessible to a broad audience. That audience includes Members of Congress, Congressional staff, researchers, journalists, and other members of the public, who look to CBO’s nonpartisan analyses to understand the effects of policy decisions on the federal budget and the economy. Projects cover issues related to the federal budget, including such topics as demographic changes, flooding risks, prescription drugs, and weapons systems. Editors handle a range of projects and work with economists, policy analysts, and other technical experts across the agency. In addition to copyediting and proofreading, editors routinely engage in substantive editing, which may include working with authors to reorganize drafts and rewrite portions of drafts. They also work with graphics editors to ensure that charts and graphs tell the story of the research. Editors have followed varied career paths to CBO, coming from academia, journalism, magazine publishing, nonprofits, government, and freelance editing. But they have in common the commitment to understanding complicated ideas—and the ability to convey those ideas in straightforward language.Qualifications
- A bachelor's or advanced degree, preferably in journalism, English, communications, or another field within the humanities;
- At least three years of professional experience in editing publications similar to those produced at CBO—that is, books, reports, magazine and journal articles, or other publications covering serious subjects in careful detail;
- Broad editorial skills that include guiding authors in writing and organizing drafts, making complex and difficult drafts clear and graceful, and proofreading with a superior eye for detail;
- Strong interpersonal skills, including the ability to exercise patience and understand others’ viewpoints, as drafts undergo review by many people who suggest changes;
- Strong project management skills, including the ability to usher drafts through the editing, review, and production process;
- A thorough understanding of English grammar and syntax and the nuances of tone and meaning in text and images;
- Comfort with quantitative information presented in tables and graphs and an interest in data visualization; and
- Facility completing tasks under deadlines and the flexibility to occasionally work evenings and weekends when necessary.
Salary and Benefits
The salary range for this position is competitive, and the starting salary for a new editor will be commensurate with experience, education, and other qualifications. CBO offers excellent benefits and a collegial, intellectually stimulating, and respectful work environment.How to Apply
Please submit a cover letter, a résumé, at least one editing sample, and contact information for three references at www.cbo.gov/careers. Your editing sample or samples should demonstrate your ability to transform an original submission into a polished document that communicates technical information clearly to a nontechnical audience. (See the Job Applicant FAQs on CBO’s website for a description.) To ensure consideration, apply by May 5, 2024. Incomplete applications (those without the required documents or with unanswered questions in the online portal) will not be considered. CBO may request additional editing samples after reviewing applications. This position is covered by the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act of 1998 as made applicable to CBO by the Congressional Accountability Act, as amended.Contact
