Who We Are:

What You’ll Do:

• Read content and correct spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors.
• Rewrite text to make it easier for readers to understand.
• Verify facts cited in material for publication.
• Evaluate submissions from HRRC’s contributing writers to decide how to help their ideas and stories succeed.
• Allocate space for the text, photos, and illustrations that make up a publication or content.
• Approve final versions submitted by staff and submit for final review to HRRC’s management team.
• Exceptional candidates will have experience in Google Suite, Wix, and Canva.
• Fluency in languages other than English is highly desirable.
