Chemonics seeks a part-time Spanish editorial support consultant on the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) Early Warning Team (EWT). The part-time editorial support consultant with strong verbal and written Spanish language skills, will primarily be based in Washington D.C. or remotely in the United States. EWT editorial support consultants are participants in a report development process that ensures FEWS NET's food security early warning information and analysis is clear, concise, and accurate. This role is perfect for a detail-oriented word nerd with a passion for language.

You don’t just geek out over the nuts and bolts, though—you also enjoy thinking critically about the larger impact of your work and the power of language. You are excited to tackle the challenge of providing decision-makers with forward-looking information to guide humanitarian response plans in a way that is both effective and compelling. You’re also someone willing to recommend changes to tables and graphics for improved comprehension and visual representation. Join us.

- Provide substantive high-quality editing and rewriting services of technical deliverables, such as final reports in Spanish, as assigned, to improve cohesiveness and clarity of technical content.
- Verify the logical flow of information and make necessary adjustments for clarity.
- Reformat and or/recommend changes to tables and graphics for improved comprehension and visual representation.
