Are you an experienced, talented and multi-skilled layout sub-editor looking for your next role within a busy team?

The Stage Media Company has an excellent full-time opportunity for an experienced, talented and multi-skilled layout sub-editor to work across both its well-established and long-running titles: The Stage, the essential title covering the UK theatre industry, and The Bookseller, the leading trade magazine and website for the publishing industry in the UK.
