Description

But what really makes MSE stand out from the crowd is the Editorial Code, which lies at the heart of everything we do.

Regardless of role, at MSE it's everybody's job to champion the consumer - and that makes us a truly unique, exciting and rewarding place to work.

• Ultimately, our role is to maximise the reach of all of MSE's work, and to seek ways to proactively help consumers in the areas they need understanding the most, including the ongoing cost of living crisis. We want to continue shouting about all the phenomenal things we are doing louder and further, with your help
