Our Media is a leading special-interest content business, based in the buzzing, creative city of Bristol. We're home to market-leading brands in craft, cycling, science and nature, homes and music.
We help our audiences pursue their passions through highly trusted, original content – in print, video and online. Our much-loved brands include BBC Science Focus, BBC Wildlife Magazine, Your Home, Gathered.how, BikeRadar and Cycling Plus.
We also have an award-winning content agency that works with major charities, brands and membership organisations to help them tell their stories and engage audiences better – in print, video, and online.
Position:
We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on Content Lead to take the lead on a small group of accounts including a much-loved quarterly print magazine in the leisure and entertainment space. This role sits within our content agency team and is ideal for someone who thrives on planning, commissioning, editing and polishing exceptional editorial.
While the main focus (around 70%) will be delivering the magazine to the highest editorial and production standards, you’ll also contribute to wider content needs for clients, from web, email and campaign copy to short-form content ideas for social or video.
This is a key role in a tight-knit, collaborative team and a fantastic opportunity to bring your editorial craft to a very respected title with a loyal audience – while building experience in content across different channels.
For a full list of responsibilities, please see the attached job description.
Requirements:
Essential
* An experienced editor with a flair for magazine craft, storytelling and a meticulous eye for grammar, flow and format
* Confident managing a full magazine cycle, from editorial planning and commissioning to page proofs and sign-off
* Comfortable juggling multiple deadlines and priorities across projects
* A collaborative, hands-on team player with a proactive approach and a calm head under pressure
* Enthusiastic about bringing great ideas to life in both print and digital formats
* Previous experience editing consumer-facing publications (in print or online)
Desirable
* Substantial experience working in an editorial role within a publishing or content marketing environment
* Experience working with designers and production teams to deliver finished pages
* Familiarity with working with clients, brand tone of voice documents, and content guidelines
* An interest in leisure, entertainment, arts, culture or lifestyle content
