Editor

Oregon’s Legislative Policy and Research Office (LPRO) is recruiting an Editor to add to our team of professional nonpartisan staff serving the state legislature. This position requires a strong background in technical editing and copyediting, skill and interest in developing new systems, and ability to train others and provide direction. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to shape editorial processes and policies.

The Editor works independently, exercises excellent judgment, and has strong organizational and time management skills. The Editor also works frequently with teams, both internal to LPRO and with external partners. The ideal candidate will be able to work collaboratively with individuals from a variety of backgrounds and lead teams in completing multiple complex projects effectively and on time.

LPRO is a nonpartisan office that supports Oregon’s lawmakers and the legislative process by providing staffing to legislative committees and responding to research and analysis requests from lawmakers. LPRO supports Oregonians in engaging with lawmakers and in the legislative process by providing language access services and coordinating public engagement and testimony on behalf of legislative committees.

The Editor’s work is primarily in-person, based at the Capitol in Salem, Oregon. In session, LPRO staff are required to work in Salem. In the interim, a hybrid work schedule (partly on-site, partly telework) may be possible.
