Role: Senior Editor
Location: Sheffield, UK
(studio based, 3-5 days p/w)
Salary: £40-45k pro-rata
In this newly created role, you’ll find innovative and engaging ways to share our work and our ideas with the world.
We’re looking for someone with the energy and enthusiasm to shape our comms strategy, alongside a team of strategists, writers and designers.
We believe that long-form content creates the best connections, so you’ll enjoy in-depth research and taking on a few big projects, rather than bashing out a daily quota of social or blog posts. Our previous projects have included books, reports, and events series to drive more meaningful interactions.
You will also help our international clients level up the content they produce. Whether it’s carefully crafted copy for their website, or a script for a new video, you’ll have the skills and experience to respond to a brief and liaise with senior stakeholders.
A confident leader and a natural storyteller with strong writing skills, you’re versatile enough to work across different formats, from text to film, events to social media. That doesn’t mean doing everything, but choosing the right platform for each project to expand our audience and reach our goals.
Experience
You'll have relevant experience in:
- Idea generation
- Content strategy
- Editorial and copywriting
- Briefing and collaborating with creatives on story-led projects
- Community building
- Project tracking, evaluation and reporting
- Working within brand tone and visual identity guidelines
As a bonus:
- Planning and running events
- Experience in the creative sector
About You
You have strong opinions about which organisations make great content and what elevates their work.
You have a test-and-learn mentality and an open-minded approach.
You can immerse yourself in research and present the most valuable insights as a concise summary.
You’re comfortable with a blank page and excited about building something from scratch.
You’re proactive, hands-on and able to find interesting stories everywhere.
You’re up-to-date on the tech, cultural and other forces which impact content and audiences. You’re interested in senior leaders and how they think.
You’re looking to do the best work of your career, supported by a team who genuinely cares about your growth and happiness.
Diversity
As people and as a studio, we see the power, possibility and potential of diversity.
As we grow, we're actively looking for the best people to join us in our inclusive space. So if you're committed, caring and honest, you'll be welcomed with open arms, whatever your identity, orientation, skin colour, faith or disabilities.
