Location: London
Tesco magazine is looking for a talented Acting Deputy Food Editor to do a maternity cover. You’ll be working with the Head of Food and Senior Writer, so you’ll have plenty of support around you.
The winning candidate will be a passionate foodie who knows how to turn minimal ingredients into inspiring dishes, and whether a cake will rise just by looking at the method.
You’ll be on top of food and drink trends and love brainstorming delicious food ideas as much as writing copy and getting stuck into the admin side of things.
We’re a fun, busy team that works at pace. This is a friendly environment and a great place to develop your skills, working on the country’s most-read magazine as well as contributing ideas to, and working with, our digital and commercial teams.
Key responsibilities include:
Writing food-related copy in the magazine, and assisting the Head of Food with commissioning, checking recipes, proofreading and editing.
Assisting the Head of Food with the day-to-day running of the food desk.
Being responsible for managing magazine recipe development alongside the Head of Food, working in collaboration to commission and edit all recipes and copy, and liaising with the art and subs teams.
Generating ideas and developing food features for the magazine and wider Tesco content ecosystem (including Tesco Real Food website, social and branded content), while responding to trends, reader feedback, seasonal research and insight and Tesco briefs.
Working alongside the Senior Writer to plan and write more technical food features.
Working closely with the Head of Food and the Content Director (print) to plan content ideas and recipes for the magazine.
Liaising with home economists, commissioning recipes and raising POs for recipe writers.
Compiling ingredients checks for each recipe, updating the spreadsheet for account management, monitoring category responses and suggesting alternative ingredients where necessary.
Checking and editing recipe copy, working closely with the Head of Food and the subs team to ensure all pages are produced to the highest standard and recipe GDAs are acceptable.
Editing food and product stories/pages, including proofreading layouts and final reads.
Planning and writing some of the more technical food features alongside the Senior Writer.
Working with the wider Tesco team to brainstorm content ideas.
Monitoring competitor publications and social media to spot trends.
