We seek experienced writers/editors for full-time positions developing content for English-proficiency tests. Duties: 1. Write, edit, and proofread content for reading, listening, speaking, and writing tests according to detailed test specifications. 2.

Rate responses from speaking and writing tests. 6. Assist at test sites as an administrator or examiner. 7. Report to senior editors and section managers. 8. Perform general office work as needed. 9.

Working environment: The atmosphere in our office is friendly, creative, and collaborative, but it can also be quite intense due to the high-stakes nature of the tests we produce. Successful candidates will be flexible and well-organized, thrive under pressure, meet deadlines, and care deeply about spelling, grammar, punctuation, and style. You will work as part of a team of committed, professional editors of various nationalities, gain expertise in language-test development, and further develop your writing and editing skills, all while directly contributing to English-language education in Japan. |
