Our transformation journey is being driven by thoughtful, highly collaborative people intent on leveraging their extraordinary talents to achieve business objectives.  

We’re looking for an Editor to maintain a world-class level of editorial excellence for a range of ResMed communications. And as you already know, there was a typo in “communications.”

Let’s talk about the role

• Review and edit a variety of content for grammar, spelling, punctuation, style, readability and visual-written content alignment. 
• Ensure consistent adherence to ResMed editorial guidelines and formatting across materials. We follow AP Stylebook and Merriam-Webster. Hopefully that’s not a deal-breaker.
