Washington, United States US Congressional Budget Office Full time

**Duties**:
The Congressional Budget Office seeks an editor with extraordinary talent -someone who can see both the forest and the trees, who can transform drafts if necessary, and who can catch small errors that others miss.
As part of the Editing and Publishing Services unit, CBOs editors help ensure that the agencys reports, presentations, and other publications are clear and accessible to a broad audience. That audience includes Members of Congress, Congressional staff, researchers, journalists, and other members of the public, who look to CBOs nonpartisan analyses to understand the effects of policy decisions on the federal budget and the economy. Projects cover issues related to the federal budget, including such topics as demographic changes, flooding risks, prescription drugs, and weapons systems. Editors handle a range of projects and work with economists, policy analysts, and other technical experts across the agency. In addition to copyediting and proofreading, editors routinely engage in substantive editing, which may include working with authors to reorganize drafts and rewrite portions of drafts. They also work with graphics editors to ensure that charts and graphs tell the story of the research. Editors have followed varied career paths to CBO, coming from academia, journalism, magazine publishing, nonprofits, government, and freelance editing. But they have in common the commitment to understanding complicated ideas and the ability to convey those ideas in straightforward language.
