THE ROLE:

We are seeking a financial editor to join S&P Global Ratings in the EMEA region. You will edit credit-related research and data, including rating actions, comments on events, and in-depth entity-specific and industry reports. Your work will ensure articles are clear, concise, complete, and correct. You will also handle all stages of article production, which can include formatting data visualization charts and infographics. The ability to work quickly and accurately under pressure is essential.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Edit credit-related research and data, including rating actions, comments on events, and in-depth entity-specific and industry reports.
Ensure articles are grammatically accurate, adhere to house style, and meet publishing standards.
