IDEO Marketing Editor – Palo Alto September 15, 2008

Posted by synergistech in copywriter, editor, marcom, peninsula, staff opp.
add a comment

We’re looking for a savvy editor with a penchant for big picture thinking—a lover of both micro and macro.

IDEO helps companies innovate. We design products, services, environments, and digital experiences for organizations seeking new ways to provide value for their customers.  Our work environment appeals to self-directed, flexible types who have great interpersonal skills, learn quickly, work and play hard.

IDEO is looking for a marketing editor to oversee the firm’s global corporate communications. This role is based out of our Palo Alto office and plays a significant part in IDEO’s marketing and communications group, a small and dynamic team spanning the US, Europe and Asia. In addition, IDEO’s marketing editor will share a delightful bridge with the IDEO design community, sharing in common a passion for design and its potential to effect positive change in the world.

IDEO’s marketing editor will craft an authentic, human-centered view of IDEO using such public-facing channels as ideo.com, business development tools, partnership opportunities, and other print and multimedia vehicles. Working closely with IDEO’s content coordinator, the marketing editor will write, edit, and curate project case studies; award entries; creative briefs; press materials; and other brand expressions, leveraging IDEO’s work to build client relationships and community awareness. Experience managing projects, teams, and schedules will be helpful in keeping ahead of internal and external deadlines. This person will also work with IDEO designers, directors, and partners to craft and edit white papers, presentations, and articles. To best support our thought leaders, the marketing editor should have a hearty appetite of their own for cultural, social, and technological movements—think, sustainability, network culture, design for developing economies, education, branding, health and wellness, and so on.

This person should be a practiced writer and editor with 5-7 years of relevant experience. Maybe you’re coming from the publishing world as an associate editor, or maybe you’ve worked in marketing and communications for another leading-edge firm. As such, you should be familiar with the major style guides, know how to write and edit for both print and digital media, be able to read proofreaders marks, and, of course, know how and when to break the rules.

To this role you would bring the ability to collaborate with various disciplines, an enthusiasm for imparting communications know-how, and a flexible work style that can fluidly shift from solo to group scenarios.  If we had our druthers, you’d also have a stellar sense of humor, a food addiction, at least one neurotic family member, and a longtime live-in relationship with music.
