Overview
Launched in 2001, Professional Adviser is the UK's leading title for financial advisers.

PA is committed to supporting the financial advice profession and helping those within it to make the most of every opportunity to build their businesses, service their clients and generate a sustainable income stream.

Professional Adviser provides a wide range of content to meet advisers' needs across platforms in areas including better business, professional development, regulation, pensions, investments, protection and technology.

The editor of PA will be the 'face' and 'voice' of the brand, and will be responsible for its editorial coverage across all platforms - digital, social, and live events.

The editor will lead a three-strong team of journalists and work with colleagues in sales, marketing and product development to evolve PA's market-leading position.

PA runs a number of popular events for advisers throughout the year, including the flagship PA360 conference and the successful Professional Adviser Awards and Women in Financial Advice Awards.

The editorship of PA would ideally suit the editor of a smaller title who is seeking a bigger role, or a deputy editor/section head who is looking for their first editorship.

Knowledge of financial services and the adviser market, or experience working in financial journalism is desirable.

The editor will report to the editor-in-chief of Professional Adviser, Investment Week and Cover. Salary is dependent on experience.

Day-to-day, the editor will be responsible for:

Leading the PA editorial team and being the main point of contact with the commercial and marketing teams
Be the main frontperson at PA's events, and the main presenter on video and podcasts
Ensure that PA's editorial content is of the highest possible standard, across all platforms
Use their network of senior contacts and market knowledge to develop fresh editorial ideas to build a highlyengaged audience and provide a platform for new products and services
