Job Details

Position

The Grocer is looking for an editor to manage the day-to-day operations and develop the strategy for its fast-growing subscription-based website and wider digital output, helping to steer the UK’s biggest, most interesting and most widely respected B2B title through its continued transformation as a multi-media powerbrand.

The Grocer is the bible of the food and drink industry, and as close as a B2B publication comes to a consumer publication, covering stories of national importance, from the cost of living crisis, to health & obesity, as well as topics like marketing, new product development, sustainability and ethics, food safety, technology, shopper insights, sourcing, food security, entrepreneurship and more.

Requirements

The ideal candidate will:

  • Be an outstanding business editor and journalist
  • Have demonstrable skill and experience in devising and delivering successful digital strategies and digital transformation
  • Have a strong grasp of operating in a digital-only environment, including the use of content management systems, multi-media tools and techniques, and data analytics and data visualisation
  • Possess good people management and training skills to support our large editorial team
  • Have experience in commissioning, editing and promoting all forms of digital output (ie including video, podcasts and social media).

Knowledge of food and drink retail, and all the myriad issues and topics The Grocer covers, is not essential, but will clearly be welcome.
