About The Role

The Telegraph Magazine is seeking a highly skilled Editorial Commissioning Specialist to join its award-winning team.

The successful candidate will have a broad range of knowledge and interests that span various subjects, including politics, sport, technology, and fashion. They will be able to identify compelling long-form journalism topics that will resonate with our intelligent and affluent audience.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Commission and edit long-form features, interviews, and news features, with a focus on securing exclusive interviews across all subject areas.
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with literary, entertainment, and arts contacts, as well as a willingness to expand these connections across wider sectors of interest.
  • Identify and recruit freelance writers and build relationships with them to secure high-quality content.
  • Oversee regular magazine features as required.
  • Generate a steady stream of fresh, innovative ideas for The Telegraph Magazine's intelligent and affluent demographic.

The ideal candidate will be brimming with ideas and comfortable commissioning a long-form report on a technological innovation as they are an interview with a reality TV star.

They will have an excellent eye for newsworthy topics, identifying unpublished books and upcoming TV documentaries that warrant feature coverage.

The Telegraph Magazine has high production values, and the Editorial Commissioning Specialist will work closely with the picture director, art director, visual storytelling, and digital teams to brief them on each feature's direction and requirements.

This is an office-based role, with opportunities to spend time out developing relationships with writers and publicists and using initiative and experience to uncover brilliant ideas.

  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to create and nurture contacts to bring exclusives to The Telegraph.
  • A voracious appetite for reading widely across print, digital, and social media to identify compelling stories from around the world.
