British Vogue is looking for a talented, quick-witted and organised senior digital journalist or editor to join its team as Planning and Weekend Digital Editor.

Reporting directly into the Digital Director, the Planning and Weekend Editor will take the lead on shaping and prioritising news and events in the title’s editorial calendar.

He/she will oversee British Vogue’s digital coverage at weekends and, thus, play a critical role in the title’s growth and success at an exciting time of expansion.
