• Ensure the intellectual rigor and credibility of all published insights by applying a journalist's curiosity and skepticism—asking tough questions about data sources, methodology, and conclusions; maintaining precision in language around claims and statistics; and challenging assumptions before publication, working collaboratively with researchers and other subject matter experts to strengthen the work

• Adapt to the needs of the given project, and serve as anything from ghostwriter to editor to infographic copywriter to scriptwriter to help tell the story successfully; when editing, having the perspective and agility to know how to calibrate your effort based on the state of the copy and the realities of the project—sometimes digging deep and suggesting developmental edits and sometimes just giving copy a light polish for grammar and style
• Respectfully and diplomatically help authors tell their own stories effectively given their messaging objectives, target audiences, and personal voices as writers, while also advising them on how to ensure their insights' novelty, accuracy, clarity, utility, and audience engagement, and adherence to editorial best practices; demonstrating an expert ability to improve someone else's work without leaving your own mark on it overtly
• Act as a champion for Deloitte's audiences, with a deep understanding of their content consumption behaviors, and advising authors accordingly
• Steward each project through the full content development process, coordinating with authors, designers, marketing, and other internal teams to ensure that project objectives are accomplished, expectations are clear, and timelines are accurately set and met
• Edit copy for factual accuracy, grammar, punctuation, readability, flow, and style, and applying SEO and GEO best practices
• Leverage generative AI per firm and team policies and standards, as a supplemental tool to increase your efficiency, while still ensuring that all projects are still thoroughly human-designed, -developed, -led, and -vetted
