My client is a digital super brand. They are looking for freelance sub editor support ASAP.
The main aim is to sub-edit/proof-read product copy in the style of the brands house tone.
You need to have some experience as an editor / sub editor for luxury as some experience is beneficial to meet certain criteria.
Each day the individual is expected to sub-edit up to 220 product descriptions, and these must be completed before EOD as my client has daily deadlines. The copy needs to be grammatically accurate and completely in-line with the guidelines set out in the style guide.
The product copy is bullet point details not creative content so someone who can work to a fast pace is needed.

They need to have a strong technical knowledge of garment construction and an understanding of different fabrics and finishes. They also need a sound knowledge of fashion and brands.
