The Management, Business, and Information Services Division, which provides editorial and publishing services for the agency, seeks an experienced editor to manage its editing and publishing functions—helping to ensure that CBO’s reports are clear and accessible to a broad audience, including Members of Congress, Congressional staff, researchers, and other members of the public.

Candidates must have at least seven years of professional experience in editing publications similar to those produced at CBO —that is, books, reports, magazines, academic journals, or other publications covering serious subjects in careful detail—and a bachelor’s degree, although an advanced degree in English or another field within the humanities is preferable. Candidates must have broad editorial skills-– including the ability to reliably guide authors in writing and organizing material; to perceptively review and analyze complex and difficult drafts, making them clear and graceful; and to finish documents with care.
