- For this role as a Managing Editor, you will have multiple chances to progress further with us over time.
- We can't make any iron-clad promises as to timelines, as more senior roles are unlocked by us reaching our organisational targets. But an example could include growing into a Head of Content role taking ownership of multiple markets through a team of Managing Editors.
- Once you've finished onboarding, we will make an IDP together, helping you reach your long-term career ambitions.
- We thrive from helping our team members grow their skills and careers. It's one of our biggest motivations as a company.
- We regularly check in with our team and have strong employee engagement scores. Being #1 is only worth it if we're having fun along the journey.
