At Reach, not only will you feel better understood, you will also feel you understand other people better too.

You will use Buzzsumo, Trends and other audience tools to produce content with clear trending opportunities.
This position will have some weekend/evening working so a flexible approach is required.

Who are we looking for?
You are an experienced
NCTJ or equivalent qualified journalist with exceptional media law knowledge.

You have a strong track record of telling stories accurately, that engage large audiences with a real passion for digital storytelling.
