London Stock Exchange Group docs

Where: Tag

When: April – August 2023

I managed the editorial production and tone of voice for a series of high-level financial methodology documents for the London Stock Exchange Group.

My job wasn't to write the technical information, but to create the professional wrapper that makes this information accessible and for global investors.

I proofread a series of documents to ensure editorial consistency, wrote the titles, descriptions and metadata that allow these documents to be found and understood within the LSEG digital backend, and translated dense technical information into clear language while adhering to strict regulatory standards.

Examples below:
