WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

We’re looking for a self-starting Editor with a strategy-first mindset, who loves to research, ideate, write, and edit. Editors take ownership of content, from concept to execution, and deliver high-quality stories that push our client’s ambitions forward.
Editors use their experience and understanding of the client business to boil down complex concepts, uncover insights and communicate them in a simple yet impactful way. Grammarians and stylists by nature, editors craft compelling copy in the client’s brand voice and tone.
Editors have proficiency in multi-channel content production. They actively embrace new trends, and harness new formats and distribution methods that amplify viewers and keep the conversations going. No matter how big or small the project, our Editors find new, creative ways to tell stories. You need to have the right to work in the UK and be based in London.

• Versatile and intellectually curious. You enjoy getting involved in multiple projects in a fast-paced environment and bring your best ideas to each.
• Data-minded. You’re always tying data & insights back to strategy and you view technology as a tool that can drive creativity.

• Actively participate in ideation and brainstorming sessions — and sometimes run them.
• Create best-in-class content, from concept to execution, across a variety of formats including articles, video scripts and social assets.
