    Description

    Audience Editor – The Independent

    About us

    The Independent is an online news publisher that was established in 1986 as a national newspaper independent of party political affiliations or proprietorial influence. In 2016, The Independent became a fully digital publisher, moving away from print in pursuit of sustainability, and to safeguard its values and journalism for the future.

    The Independent has always thrived through innovation and change. It was the first British newspaper to add a Saturday magazine; the first to give photography the same prestige as a news copy; the first to challenge the Westminster lobby system of closed briefings; the first broadsheet to move to the more compact 'tabloid' format; the first to launch a concise quality compact paper; and the first – and only – major newspaper to pull off a successful transformation to fully digital publishing.

    Through The Independent, Independent TV, eCommerce, indy100, subscriptions and other 'reader revenues', The Independent plans to continue the work of many decades, bringing much-needed independent journalism to over 100 million unique global visitors a month, make its voice ever louder and more insistent the world over.

    We have an international editorial team with our main offices in London and New York.

    About you

    The Independent is looking for a dynamic and experienced audience editor to grow its global reach and help lead changes in editorial strategy and workflow.

    Reporting to the Head of Audience (Editorial), the right candidate will be a highly-organised self-starter, with a deep understanding of how to achieve audience growth across all platforms, as well as being a skilled journalist and wordsmith.

    We are looking for someone who has a genuine passion for content and how best to achieve audiences on a large scale. You might be a trained journalist with experience in an equivalent organisation, keen to specialise as an audience editor.

    You'll be working in a fast-paced environment where accuracy and creativity are key so the ability to think under pressure is vital.

    We are preferably looking for candidates from a journalistic background with newsroom and social media or SEO or social media experience, but will consider someone with excellent SEO and social media skills, a strong interest in news and the ability to learn quickly.

    This role will be hybrid remote, spending 3 days per week in our offices in Moorgate.

    Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

    We champion diversity in our teams and in our reporting. As a growing and global brand, we must have a workforce that's more representative of our readers, viewers, clients and partners, and a workplace that creates a sense of belonging for everyone.

    We are committed to hiring and developing a diverse workforce regardless of background, and we support our people to thrive in their careers here.

    The Independent is an equal opportunities employer, if you require any reasonable adjustments to complete your application, please do not hesitate to advise us accordingly.

        Our values – you will deliver across all our values
