Content Transformation Editor

Role Overview

As a Content Transformation Editor, you will help turn validated source material—primarily video courses, transcripts, speaker decks, and expert assets—into clear, structured, reader-ready products that read naturally, teach clearly, and meet Packt standards. You will use AI-assisted workflows to accelerate transformation but will be responsible for checking, refining, and improving the output so it is accurate to the source, up-to-date, readable, coherent, and valuable for tech professionals.

Success in this role means delivering reliable, well-structured Video-to-Book (V2B) and derived-content outputs on time, identifying issues early, and applying feedback quickly.

What You Will Do

V2B and Derived Content Transformation

• Review source assets such as course videos, transcripts, speaker decks, and code repositories.
• Help shape structure, flow, and learning paths based on the source course.
• Use Packt’s AI tools to convert courses into clear written manuscripts, checking for content quality, flow, and repetition while preserving useful expert insight, practical examples, and teaching intent.
• Ensure chapters contain appropriate introductions, transitions, summaries, captions, instructions, examples, and reader guidance.
• Review AI-assembled on-demand video courses for editorial quality, flow, and completeness, checking AI-flagged moments and approving the final output for publication.
• Review and approve ingested expert material to ensure it is converted into clear, attributable, and retrievable insight units that improve the quality of AI-generated answers in our corpus product.

Editorial Quality and Reader Value

• Check and improve grammar, clarity, readability, consistency, and flow.
• Make sure the output reads like a book, not a transcript.
• Check that explanations follow a logical progression and support the intended learning outcome.
• Identify areas where source material depends too heavily on visual demonstration or assumed context, and flag where extra explanation is needed.

AI and Workflow Tools

• Review AI-generated output critically and correct errors, hallucinations, omissions, unsupported claims, and tone problems.
• Provide feedback on AI tools and documentation that can be used to improve processes and output. Document source issues or process bottlenecks so the wider workflow can improve.
• Escalate missing assets, unclear source material, technical uncertainty, quality concerns, schedule risks, or repeated workflow issues early.

Who You Are

• An early-career editor, graduate, or content specialist with excellent English and strong learning agility.
• Curious about technology and motivated to understand how technical learners think, work, and solve problems.
• Comfortable using AI tools while being quality-focused in reviewing their output.
• Detail-oriented, organized, and able to manage repeatable tasks without losing sight of reader value.

Must-have Skills:

• Excellent written English, with strong grammar, clarity, and editing judgment.
• Good communication skills and the ability to share clear feedback to all stakeholders, internal and external.
• Ability to test code and flag issues.
• Ability to organize information into logical structures and reader-friendly explanations.
• Confidence working with long documents, transcripts, or source files and maintaining consistency across them.
• Willingness to learn new technical concepts.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow workflow, style, and quality checklists.
• Ability to work to deadlines, communicate blockers early, and respond to feedback.

Good-to-have Skills:

• Degree, internship, or early professional experience in publishing, editing, technical writing, instructional design, journalism, education, communications, or a related field.
• Exposure to technical topics such as AI, software development, cloud, data, and cybersecurity.
• Experience editing transcripts, video course material, tutorials, learning content, documentation, or structured educational content.
• Experience using AI tools for drafting, summarization, editing, research, or workflow automation.
