Job description

Organizational context: The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) supports the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals across over 170 countries. In Chile, UNDP collaborates with the Ministry of Education (MINEDUC) to strengthen national education policies, curriculum development, and pedagogical resources. The Unit of Curriculum and Evaluation (UCE) within MINEDUC plays a key technical role in defining educational standards and ensuring the coherence of learning materials.

Job purpose: This role supports the Unit of Curriculum and Evaluation (UCE) in the Ministry of Education by providing essential editing and style correction services for technical-pedagogical documents. The primary objective is to enhance the clarity, textual coherence, terminological consistency, linguistic precision, communicative adequacy, and formal presentation of materials such as curriculum bases, study programs, and pedagogical guides. The position ensures that documents produced by UCE are of high quality, legible, and consistent, thereby contributing to the effective implementation of national education policies and the overall goal of providing adequate pedagogical tools for students' comprehensive development.

Responsibilities: The Assistant Editor will be responsible for performing comprehensive editorial and proofreading tasks on technical-pedagogical documents developed by the UCE. This includes correcting spelling, grammar, typography, and style, while ensuring clarity, coherence, cohesion, fluency, structure, terminological consistency, and communicative appropriateness. The role involves supporting editorial processes through change tracking, commenting, version review, and consolidating feedback. Additionally, the position will coordinate editorial adjustments with UCE professionals, subject matter specialists, and other stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and timely delivery of tasks. Planning, organizing, and executing editorial assignments according to defined deadlines, formats, and priorities are key duties.

Education: A complete secondary education is required. A university degree (Licenciatura) in Literature or Linguistics is desirable but not mandatory. Relevant certifications or specialized training in editing or related fields may be considered an advantage.

Work experience: A minimum of 5 years of relevant work experience is required with a secondary education, or 2 years with a university degree. Relevant experience includes editing, proofreading, linguistic review, and ensuring textual coherence for written documents. Experience with non-fiction texts, educational materials, institutional publications, or pedagogical content is also valued.

Skills: Proficiency in editing, proofreading, and style correction. Strong command of written Spanish, with attention to detail in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Experience with document management and collaborative tools (e.g., Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Acrobat, Google Workspace). Ability to coordinate with technical teams and adhere to deadlines.
