    Description

    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.

    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.

    • Experience using reporting and analytics tools (Omniture, Chartbeat) or willingness to learn,
    • Skilled content creator.

    Our values – you will deliver across all our values

    Inclusive: We champion diversity in our teams and in our reporting. Working as a team, we put transparency and effective communication at the heart of everything we do.

    Innovative: From the very beginning, The Independent has been breaking the mould. We take risks and are always looking to try new ideas in pursuit of excellence.
