What I'm looking for

I am seeking a remote role that values creativity, professional growth and a collaborative and friendly working environment.

As a Managing Editor with nearly a decade of experience in financial publishing, I have honed my skills in editing and content development, ensuring that all materials are not only factually accurate but also engaging and compliant. My recent role at Southbank Investment Research allowed me to build a robust editorial process from the ground up, significantly improving content quality and establishing a consistent style across publications.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to manage complex roles with multiple responsibilities, including overseeing editorial production and coordinating with international teams. My meticulous attention to detail and commitment to excellence have been recognised through various achievements, including the development of a comprehensive company style guide and the successful management of a junior editor. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am adept at delivering high-quality content under tight deadlines.
