We are looking for six Digital Production Editors to join our newly formed Content Hub. This is a fantastic opportunity to use our in-house AI, Guten, to create content for multiple sites, including the Mirror, Express, Star, Manchester Evening News, Daily Record, Liverpool Echo, Birmingham Live and more.

We are happy to consider applications on a flexible working basis, and will always aim to accommodate requests where possible.
