As a Learning Content Editor, you will change leaders who change the world by providing dedicated editorial and quality assurance support across the development of online learning content at a leading business school.
Job Overview:
JBSEEL is committed to empowering learners through immersive, flexible, and dynamic learning solutions. The next step in our journey to broaden access to executive education is by developing a new digital product. The product is not only designed to generate income for the School but also to broaden our reach to organisations and sectors that may not traditionally engage with executive education, such as charities, NGOs, and non-profit organisations. By offering flexible, accessible, and affordable learning solutions, this initiative allows Cambridge Judge Business School to extend its educational impact to a wider audience and develop meaningful relationships with diverse communities.
As a B Corp certified institution, JBSEEL is committed to balancing purpose and profit. This product supports our B-Corp mission by enabling the School to have a positive impact on society through education. By reaching organisations with social and environmental missions, we are helping drive meaningful change in line with our commitment to responsible business practices and sustainable development.
The role is responsible for editing and refining drafts for clarity, structure, tone, and flow, ensuring alignment with our in‑house style and British English standards, and maintaining coherence across modules and programme series. Acting as a key quality checkpoint within the development process, the post holder will apply both structured AI‑supported reviews and strong human editorial judgement to identify repetition, inconsistencies, weak transitions, and ambiguities that could undermine learner understanding. They will also review learning activities and module elements to ensure narrative continuity and conceptual alignment, prepare clean platform‑ready layouts, advise on structural or visual enhancements where appropriate, and deliver fully polished content that is ready for upload without further editorial intervention.
Main Responsibilities:
* Editorial Quality Assurance: Edit and proofread learning content to ensure clarity, flow, consistency, and accuracy, applying a high standard of grammar, sentence structure, and tone throughout.
* Style and Language Compliance: Ensure all content aligns with our in‑house style guidelines, including consistent application of British English spelling, punctuation, formatting, and terminology.
* Programme‑Level Coherence: Review content across modules and programme series to ensure narrative continuity, consistent learner experience, and alignment of key concepts and messaging.
* Structural Editing for Learner Journey: Apply a learning‑design‑aware lens to content structure, recommending refinements that improve pacing, readability, and progression through the module.
* Repetition and Redundancy Reduction: Identify unnecessary repetition across content and recommend consolidation or refinement to strengthen impact and improve learner engagement.
* Clarity and Comprehension Review: Flag ambiguous phrasing, weak transitions, or unclear explanations that could undermine learner understanding, proposing precise improvements where required.
* Editorial Review of Learning Elements: Apply an editorial lens to interactive and reflective learning elements to ensure they are clear, purposeful, appropriately proportioned, and aligned with the intended learning journey.
* AI Quality Agent Review: Run predefined AI quality agents as part of the editorial workflow, applying human editorial judgement to determine what should be amended, refined, or retained.
* Formatting and Layout Consistency: Maintain formatting and layout consistency when applying edits, ensuring content remains aligned with established templates and presentation standards across modules.
* Visual Support Recommendations: Suggest optional imagery, diagrams, or simple visual devices where these would meaningfully support comprehension, recall, or learner engagement.
* Final Delivery Readiness: Produce polished final deliverables that require no further editorial intervention, ensuring content is fully consistent, quality assured, and ready for upload within agreed timelines.
* Additionally: Contribute effectively to JBSEEL values and team activities and participate in and contribute to special projects where relevant.
