Are you an ambitious journalist looking to take the next step in your career? This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced, multi-platform business media environment where no two days are the same.
Working closely with the editor as part of a small, hands-on team, you’ll contribute to everything from writing compelling business stories to helping plan and deliver high-profile events. As content editor, you’ll also have the chance to develop your skills as a journalist in a future-facing publication where every member of the team is vital.
Insider runs a busy calendar of business networking events across the South West, and our editors play a central role in shaping them, from selecting speakers and judging awards to leading on-stage interviews. You’ll initially shadow the editor and editorial director, gradually taking on more responsibility as your confidence and experience grow.
We’re looking for a confident communicator who’s comfortable picking up the phone, walking into boardrooms, and building relationships with senior business leaders.
You’ll be supported with one-to-one training and mentoring to help you thrive.
An NCTJ qualification (or equivalent) is preferred, but not essential, above all, we’re looking for enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn.
Core responsibilities:
* Writing in-depth features for South West Business Insider magazine
* Producing timely business news and features for Insidermedia.com
* Supporting the editor with the planning and delivery of events
* Reaching out to and inviting key business figures to attend Insider events
* Crafting engaging and accurate synopses for Insider features and business events
* Capturing and producing video content at events for use across digital platforms
Responsibilities as the role progresses:
* Chairing high-level round table discussions with key business figures
* Presenting live interview sessions at our flagship breakfast events
* Deputising for the editor and representing Insider at regional business events
No two days are the same at Insider.
From writing in-depth features and chairing thought-provoking round tables, to attending prestigious awards dinners and collaborating with our sales and events teams, you'll be at the heart of our dynamic, fast-paced newsroom and business community.
