Your Team: We are The Scottish Sun. The Scottish Sun is Scotland's No.1, award-winning newsbrand. The Scottish Sun cares about quality of life, the kind of world we live in, and about people.

  • Oversee The Scottish Sun website, social channels and video output
  • Oversee news, features and sports stories to ensure the highest standard of presentation, particularly in headlines, pictures and video, to maximise traffic and dwell time
  • Work with desk heads, reporters and production teams across our integrated newsroom
  • Work collaboratively with internal departments including commercial and marketing
  • Interpret analytics to report to colleagues and the wider business on a regular basis
  • Maintain an excellent relationship and seek opportunities with the online, audience, sport, tech and video teams across the whole of News Corp

What we are looking for from you:

  • Editorial experience on a fast-paced national platform
  • Full awareness of legal issues, the Editors' Code of Practice and IPSO standards
  • An awareness and passion for all things news, showbiz and politics
  • Experience in managing and leading high performance teams
  • Expert in SEO, social media and digital news delivery
  • Experience of video production, commissioning and knowledge of emerging platforms
  • In-depth knowledge of analytics and ability to interpret data and implement new strategies
  • Keen awareness of the digital media environment, trends and audience behaviours
  • Skilled in creating commercially viable editorial projects and initiatives
  • Understanding of Scottish Sun DNA and how it translates to digital platforms

We are News UK : One of the leading media businesses in the UK and Ireland. Our newsbrands include The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sun, The Sun on Sunday and The TLS. Our national broadcast brands include talkSPORT, Times Radio, TalkTV and Virgin Radio UK, and we have market-leading local radio stations across Ireland.

Life at News

Driven by passion, guided by principles and acting with purpose. We represent, reflect and reach the nation, telling the stories that matter. We inform our audiences so that they can make decisions based on trusted information.

To do this, we believe our employees must represent different backgrounds, perspectives and experiences. We strive to maximise and encourage every individual's potential and ensure everyone feels valued. We support this through our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy, which focuses on three main priorities - attracting talent from a wider, more representative pool, developing equity programmes to drive better representation in our leadership, and ensuring diversity and inclusivity in our workforce as well as the journalism and content we produce.

In addition we also offer:

  • A generous pension scheme with employer contributions of up to 5%;
  • 38 days holiday and up to 4 volunteering days per year;
  • Maternity leave up to 18 weeks full basic salary & paternity leave up to 2 weeks;
