Editor, CFMCA Flagship Guide Update and Companion Website

Overview

The role involves editing a flagship guide update and companion website content for the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action (CFMCA). The purpose is to produce a publication-ready version of all materials for a combined launch package and companion website.

Key Responsibilities

• Copy-edit and lightly substantively edit all Action Areas across the three Functions and three Capabilities that structure the guide, including Part A, Part B and Part C.
• Edit the theme pages covering energy transition, adaptation and resilience, nature and biodiversity, and the just transition.
• Edit the case studies and country examples featured in the guide and in the searchable case study database.
• Edit companion website content, including landing page text, navigation copy, sub-page introductions and supplementary written elements provided by the team.
• Edit ministerial-facing communication products linked to the launch, where requested by the project lead.
• Ensure internal consistency of terminology, tone, usage and voice across material produced by different contributors, and offer light structural suggestions where a passage does not read well.
• Flag substantive questions for the project lead rather than rewrite, and return edited material with tracked changes and a short editorial note on a rolling basis as batches become ready.

Required Experience

Demonstrated experience of at least 7 years in editing publications for senior policy or government audiences, ideally including work for international organisations, finance ministries, central banks, or comparable institutions. Proven experience harmonising voice and style across material produced by multiple contributors. Experience editing for the web as well as for print, including a feel for navigation copy, headings and section summaries. A track record of reliable delivery against agreed turnaround times under tight schedules.

Qualifications

A first-level university degree (Bachelor’s or equivalent) in journalism, communications, English, economics, public policy, or a related field is required. An advanced university degree in a relevant field would be considered an asset. Substantial and demonstrable professional editorial experience may be accepted in lieu of a formal qualification.
