Redactive Media Group

Circa £28,000 p.a. subject to experience

Does this headline make you despair because its grammatically incorrect?

Wanted: a stickler for spelling, grammar and accuracy who is adept in InDesign. Redactive Media Group, the UK’s leading content marketing and publishing services agency for membership and professional services organisations, has a vacancy for an experienced content sub-editor to work across a diverse portfolio of print and digital magazines and their brand extensions.

If you are adaptable enough to juggle multiple projects at a consistently high standard, to sub copy about the hairdressing industry in the morning and write headlines about optometry or podiatry in the afternoon, we would like to hear from you. You will be confident navigating the pitfalls of the English language, weeding out comma splices, misused semicolons and dangling participles. And you will also be able to restructure copy when necessary to make it as readable and as interesting as it can be.

As content sub-editor, you will be responsible for ensuring copy adheres to house style, is legally and technically sound and is accurate. You will devise, where appropriate, compelling captions, headlines, cover lines, standfirsts and contents pages. You will ensure all page furniture is correct, prepare pages for print and maintain style guides across numerous titles.

Strong experience in InDesign is a must, as is editing copy online in a content management system. You will also have a good working knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel.

You will possess impeccable attention to detail and strong subbing credentials gained in a newspaper or magazine publishing environment. It is essential that you can manage time effectively, hit deadlines and perform effectively under pressure.

As well as subbing copy for magazines, you will ensure the accuracy and brand consistency of promotional materials, supplements and other extensions produced by editorial and marketing departments.

If this sounds like a role for you, please send us your CV and a covering letter telling us why your skills and experience make you perfect for the role. We look forward to hearing from you.

Interviews will start as soon as we have relevant candidates.
