London, United Kingdom Saga Full time

Job Introduction
** At Saga we’re radically flexible which means our colleagues have total autonomy over where they work - home, hybrid or hub. This role has a hybrid element which means our team come together when we need to collaborate, but we want to work with you to craft a working pattern that allows you to bring your best self to the job.**

We at Saga Media have one mission: To inspire and inform those that know experience matters, and we’ve got an exciting opportunity for you to come and be part of the exciting Saga Media launch team.

You’ll be someone who has been enjoying writing about TVs, home audio, appliances or other related home tech, as well as offering content and insights for our new smart home channel. You’ll also be helping the EIC with some sub-editing and deputy duties across commercial and editorial projects.

We also need someone who is as passionate about developing new voices as we are - we want to give opportunities to all writers, regardless of background, and we need you to join us on helping make them find their style.

Essentially, we’re looking to build a gifted editor who’s ready for the challenge of their life in a newly-formed media business. And while experience is important, passion is critical - so if you’re not sure if you fit the bill, get in contact and show us why you’d thrive in this role.

Main Responsibilities
- Writing world-class, cutting-edge content around Fitness Tech and Smart Home
- Aiding the EIC in developing commercial and editorial projects and hitting traffic targets with great content
- Developing and editing staff writers’ work to uphold the standards of excellence
- Consistently researching and developing new ideas to help Saga Media’s target audience, with a key focus on representation on the site
- Working with newsletter EIC, video and social team to develop content as necessary
- Working with the managing editor to run an effective reviews program
- Holding and participating in regular content planning meetings with your team and the wider site staff as necessary
- Being a senior voice and a kind ear for more junior staff.
- Furthering an already-bristling black book of key contacts - whether from brands, experts or PRs, you’ll be in the know and able to rustle up great interviews and comment at will
- Ensuring news output is targeted and on point within your team
- 5+ years at editor level or equivalent role
- Proven development of voice
- Experience working in well-known media organisations
- Deep, expert industry passion
- Experience with workflow systems
- A proven ability to sub work and spot systemic flaws

Our Saga Values:

- Precision Pace - Always owning and making things happen.
- Empathy - Always aware of others.
- Curiosity - Always asking why.
- Collaboration - Always one team, the Saga team
