Deputy Editor
We’re looking for a sharp and organised Deputy Editor to join our New Model Adviser team. As a key partner to our Editor, you will play a vital role in shaping our coverage of the UK financial advice market – from pensions and investments, to how businesses hire staff and the rules they must follow.
We are focused on high-quality, exclusive coverage that goes beyond press releases, and you’ll be at the heart of our newsroom, helping a talented team of reporters turn raw ideas into must-read stories.
This is a role that requires a keen news eye and the ability to build influential relationships. It’s an exciting opportunity to drive the editorial direction of a market-leading title while developing your own high-impact features and data-led investigations.
What you’ll be doing:
- Working alongside the Editor to generate exclusive, high-impact coverage of the financial advice space and ensuring all copy is edited to the highest standard.
- Building strong relationships with our reporters to help them shape their ideas, refine their angles and push their articles further.
- Developing your own original stories and features by building relationships with senior industry figures and extracting insights from our data.
- Organising key elements of our news and features coverage, including setting clear deadlines, word counts, and editorial direction for contributors.
- Acting as a key face of NMA by maintaining and building relationships with senior leaders across the financial advice space.
What we’re looking for:
- Editorial Experience: Demonstrable experience in a similar role at a trade or national (full-time or freelance) at a senior level.
- Sharp Editing Skills: A meticulous eye for detail and the ability to elevate copy, ensuring it resonates with a professional audience.
- Highly Organised: A natural coordinator who can manage deadlines and editorial schedules.
- Relationship Builder: Confident and professional, you are comfortable engaging with senior industry figures and collaborating across internal teams.
- Data Literate: Comfortable working with numbers and data to uncover trends and drive original reporting.
