Features Editor

• Creative Recruiters | Melbourne or Sydney | permanent job
• Hybrid working, room for growth and a supportive team
• Experience writing online content needed

Looking for room for growth? Time to smash the glass ceiling and have fun along the way!

From business topics from retail, food and hospitality to fashion, news and current affairs, our client is a trusted industry advisor focused on creating high-quality content.

They need a writing and editing whizz like you (yes you!) to write daily online features and analyses for their award-winning industry title, well as planning and producing their quarterly print publication.

So, why would you want to hit 'apply'?

• Hybrid working and a no-late-nights culture.
• If you're in Sydney you'll work a few days a week in their buzzing Sydney office. If you're in Melbourne you'll work up to 3 days in a schmick co-working space in the CBD, alongside another editorial team member.
• Inclusivity: their leadership team is more women than men (hell yeah!) and they share respect for all identities.
• A trusting, collaborative team
• A flat structure, so there isn't too much red tape and you can easily text or call the CEO. What does this mean for you? Your plans will actually get approved, and you can make at all happen rather than waiting around for a rubber stamp (dream come true?).

You will be part of the Premium team, who create exclusive, in-depth content for their subscribers. Your main focus will be on Australia, but you will also keep on top of industry news around the wider APAC region. In this role, you will report to the Managing Editor – Premium.

• Three years of experience working on online content. Print experience is a bonus.
• An interest in business news and current affairs;
