Content Editor – Online Marketing

Posted on January 11, 2015

We are currently looking for a new Content Editor to join our team.

Our content editors cover a wide and varied portfolio of clients with varying topics.

Do you know how to use the apostrophe correctly? Do you annoy your friends explaining the difference between ‘less’ and ‘fewer’? Do you spot spelling mistakes from across the room? If so, this may be the perfect job for you.

The role requires an individual with particularly strong English spelling and grammar skills, a real eye for detail, a firm understanding of the Internet and the ability to edit news articles and content for websites – and write them when the need arises. There will also be a need to use social media.

Candidates should be well organised, have the confidence and ability to liaise with suppliers and clients and have experience of hitting multiple deadlines. This role will suit an ambitious individual, keen to progress within a fast-moving and ambitious company.

In return, you will be part of a creative team in a dynamic business, in a role that offers a great opportunity to be part of that expansion and receive a leading benefits package (see Jobs and Careers). If you have a good work ethic and want to be in an environment that will let you express your individuality and encourage you to excel in your professional field then Engage Web is the company for you.

Previous experience is desired but is not essential; training will be provided.

Duties of role

The successful candidate will be responsible for the editing of web copy, news and articles, ensuring they are suitable to publish on clients’ websites. The role also requires you to liaise with content writers on a regular basis and offer coaching or feedback when necessary. Although the job is primarily an editing role, you will also be required to produce articles to provide writing cover when needed.
