London UK, UK, United Kingdom The Independent Full time

About us

The Independent is an online news publisher that was established in 1986 as a national newspaper independent of party political affiliations or proprietorial influence. In 2016, The Independent became a fully digital publisher, moving away from print in pursuit of sustainability, and to safeguard its values and journalism for the future.

The Independent has always thrived through innovation and change. It was the first British newspaper to add a Saturday magazine; the first to give photography the same prestige as a news copy; the first to challenge the Westminster lobby system of closed briefings; the first broadsheet to move to the more compact ‘tabloid’ format; the first to launch a concise quality compact paper; and the first – and only – major newspaper to pull off a successful transformation to fully digital publishing.

Through The Independent, Independent TV, eCommerce, indy100, subscriptions and other ‘reader revenues’, The Independent plans to continue the work of many decades, bringing much-needed independent journalism to over 100 million unique global visitors a month, make its voice ever louder and more insistent the world over.

We have an international editorial team with our main offices in London and New York.


The role

The Independent is looking for an experienced Consumer Editor to produce money-saving and product-focused coverage for its eCommerce division.

The successful candidate will write and edit articles about the best deals, sales and discounts to help our readers find tried and tested products at their lowest prices. They will also be as comfortable in front of the camera showcasing products and discussing money-saving tips as they are writing articles, reviews and product round-ups.

The role will require a broad product and brand knowledge and the successful candidate will be able to stay one step ahead of the latest trends and launches.

The successful candidate will be a core member of our editorial team and will also be able to work closely with our commercial and audience teams to build on the successes of our existing deals and sales events coverage which keeps the consumer at the heart of all decision making and product choices.

The consumer editor will also take a leading role during key shopping events, such as Prime Day and Black Friday.


They will be expected to produce content that strikes a chord with The Independent’s readers, while also being able to test and review new things in a bid to reach new audiences. They should be self-starters, remain unflappable under pressure and be a stickler for editorial quality and best practice.
