Editor

Job description

• Read what the competent authorities publish — statutes, decrees, circulars, draft heads of bill, official fee schedules — and build articles in which every fact can be checked.
• Review other people’s drafts against the same measure: a fact that cannot be traced to its source does not go on the site.
• Reconcile the Vietnamese and English versions so the two never diverge on a fact. The site publishes in both languages every day, and a figure that differs between them is an error twice over.

Requirements

• The ability to read regulatory texts in Vietnamese and English, and to tell what a text actually provides from what a report infers from it.
• Precise Vietnamese, with no word larger than the fact it carries.
• Newsroom experience is not required.

Benefits

• Full insurance cover as provided under Vietnamese labour law.
• 12 days of paid annual leave each year.
• A thirteenth-month bonus.
• A pay rise review every six months.
• Regular health checks.
• Training, both in house and external.
• Pay of VND 8–12 million a month, based on capability and experience.
