• Incorporate feedback from multiple teams (Legal, Marketing, Global) to refine word choices and maintain brand consistency.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in subediting with a strong focus on detail, language, and style.
• Expertise in both UK and US English is essential; knowledge of French is helpful but not required.
• Experience working with luxury brand communications is highly desirable.
• Ability to work independently, balancing large workloads with precision and efficiency.
• Familiarity with Excel for content editing and organization.
• A strong understanding of brand tone and the ability to adapt translations for UK audiences.
