SENIOR EDITOR
Editorial Department
Reports to: SVP, Director of Editorial
The Senior Editor is responsible for taking on accounts both as a dedicated and a secondary brand editor. The dedicated editor for an account is the keeper of all things editorial, acting as the lead editor and proofreader on all print and digital tactics, including websites, interactive visual aids, emails, microsites, print ads, brochures, direct mailers, and conference materials. In the role of secondary editor, the Senior Editor performs second reads at critical junctures (prior to med-legal review, prior to going to print or pushing a digital project live) on other editors’ brands to ensure error-free deliverables. In addition, the Senior Editor offers support to the rest of the department when availability permits and during peaks in department workload. Additionally, the Senior Editor embodies the Calcium core values of commitment, integrity, and respect, both in their work and in their relationships with their co-workers and external clients.
