Content Editor, North West Business Insider

National World plc; Manchester; On-site; GBP 25,000 - 45,000; Full time

Job description

Are you an ambitious journalist looking to take the next step in your career? This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced, multi-platform business media environment where no two days are the same.

Working closely with the editor as part of a small, hands-on team, you’ll contribute to everything from writing compelling business stories to helping plan and deliver high-profile events. As content editor, you’ll also have the chance to develop your on-screen presenting skills and grow into a key public-facing role.

Insider runs a busy calendar of business networking events across the North West, and our editors play a central role in shaping them from selecting speakers and judging awards to leading on-stage interviews. You’ll initially shadow the editor and deputy editor, gradually taking on more responsibility as your confidence and experience grow.

We’re looking for a confident communicator who’s comfortable picking up the phone, walking into boardrooms, and building relationships with senior business leaders.

You’ll be equipped with a laptop, phone and video kit, and supported with one-to-one training and mentoring to help you thrive.

An NCTJ qualification (or equivalent) is preferred, but not essential; above all, we’re looking for enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.

Core Responsibilities

1. Crafting engaging and accurate synopses for Insider features and business events
2. Supporting the editor and deputy editor with the planning and delivery of events
3. Reaching out to and inviting key business figures to attend Insider events
4. Writing in-depth features for North West Business Insider magazine
5. Producing timely business news and features for Insidermedia.com
6. Capturing and producing video content at events for use across digital platforms

Responsibilities As The Role Progresses

1. Hosting the daily video news briefing as part of a rotating schedule
2. Chairing high-level round table discussions with key business figures
3. Presenting live interview sessions at our flagship breakfast events

No two days are the same at Insider.

From writing in-depth features and chairing thought-provoking round tables, to attending prestigious awards dinners and collaborating with our sales and events teams, you'll be at the heart of our dynamic, fast-paced newsroom and business community.
