Found in: beBee S GB - 1 week ago

London, United Kingdom The Stage Media Company Limited Full time

Deadline for applications: 10th May 2024

Salary: £32,000 per annum

 

Are you an experienced, talented and multi-skilled layout sub-editor looking for your next role within a busy team?

The Stage Media Company has an excellent full-time opportunity for an experienced, talented and multi-skilled layout sub-editor to work across both its well-established and long-running titles: The Stage, the essential title covering the UK theatre industry, and The Bookseller, the leading trade magazine and website for the publishing industry in the UK.

We require an eagle-eyed, meticulous and SEO-savvy sub with strong InDesign and Photoshop skills, and experience of web publishing platforms, to work across web and print, ensuring that quality meets the highest levels of accuracy and house style.

Work will be split evenly across web and print. Applicants must have a keen eye for detail and the ability to work on their own initiative and prioritise tasks. Above all, we are looking for someone with precision for copy editing and a flair for eye-catching headlines and grabby intros.

The role will involve closely following the publications’ style guides. An excellent command of English grammar and punctuation is essential. However, please note, that while the role involves writing tasks including headlines and social media posts, this is not a writing role.

A journalism qualification, including media law, is essential, as is an interest in, and knowledge of, the theatre and UK books industries. This role would suit an accomplished sub-editor with extensive experience of working on established publications (trade/consumer/nationals) who enjoys web publishing as much as print layout work and is keen to develop their sub-editing career as part of a busy and multi-skilled production department. Experience of supervising a team of sub-editors would be an advantage.

 

The main purpose of the role

To sub and publish content across The Stage and The Bookseller's digital and print publications, ensuring that quality meets the highest levels of accuracy and house style.To edit and publish web stories, reviews, features and columns, as well as lay out magazine and newspaper pages using InDesign, with both flair and attention to detail, and to agreed deadlines.
