Job Details

Chief Sub-Editor - Award Winning Digital Agency

Welcome to Formative Content! Thanks for stopping by, we're delighted to have your interest. We are a rapidly growing, award-winning, content marketing agency, with a global client base that has quadrupled in size in the last two years.

We are the industry experts in Brand Journalism, helping tell our clients' stories in an engaging manner, often bringing complex and specialised subject matters to life in a way that captures the imagination of a wider audience.

Many of our team are former journalists - either from the mainstream media (Bloomberg, PA, BBC) or from the trade press. We write news items, features and video scripts. We digest reports, develop web copy and ghostwrite articles for CEOs. Our content most often appears on digital content platforms and is shared via social media.

We are looking for an experienced sub-editor to join our growing editorial team.

As chief sub-editor, you will ensure accuracy, consistency and narrative flow across the whole range of this output, as well as checking that briefs are followed and that the specific style and tone of a range of clients is adhered to. Many of our clients are in the financial or technology sector, and you will need to be comfortable with data-led articles and complex subject matter.

You will have:

  • excellent written skills and grammar
  • a keen eye for detail, consistency and accuracy
  • an excellent understanding of how to source reliable data and write about it accurately
  • the ability to understand complex or technical language and convert it into simple, engaging yet accurate copy
  • the ability to deliver clear and constructive feedback to writers as necessary
  • the curiosity to read, understand and get to the nub of an issue
  • the ability to understand the objectives of clients, incorporating these into written work
  • the ability to meet deadlines and work under pressure


As well as the opportunity to write, you will also be joining a company that believes in offering its team members an exceptional employee experience. At the end of the day, we want our team members to not only love the work but the company as well.

We work hard to build and maintain a fun, close-knit, high-performing and energetic team of committed professionals. And, due to our growth story, we have the unique ability to offer career opportunities and trajectory that few agencies can match.
