As part of your application please address the following targeted questions: 

1. Describe your experience providing high-quality editorial support for formal outputs, including technical, academic or health-related content. As part of the description, please outline the tools (including style guides) you use to ensure consistency and clarity. Please also describe how you work with subject matter experts to translate complex information into accessible content and adapt your editorial or writing style for different audiences, including the strategies you use to ensure the content is clear, engaging and accessible.
2. Explain your understanding of best-practice editorial and publishing workflows, from planning and drafting through to editing, author review and publication. What do you consider the most critical elements of an effective publishing process, and what common pitfalls can hinder it? Who are the key contributors, and when should they be involved? Additionally, describe how you have contributed to the development or implementation of editorial strategies, content standards or digital content improvements.
3. Tell us about a time when you managed multiple competing editorial priorities. How did you coordinate tasks across internal teams, external contractors and your own contributions to meet deadlines and maintain quality, especially when priorities changed or stakeholders had limited visibility of the broader workload? Please also describe a time when something went wrong during the editorial process, such as referencing inconsistencies or version control issues, and explain how you resolved it.
