Job Details

Oxford-based Fast Track is looking for a talented content editor and writer interested in working in a small, fast-paced research company to research, write about and build credible relationships with the UK’s top entrepreneurs and our sponsors. You will join as a senior member of our 15-strong research and editorial team.

It would suit a bright graduate with at least four years' relevant business writing and research experience; some of which could have been gained at university on a relevant course and/or paid-internship.

This is an expanded role due to our increased research, writing and editorial needs, after gaining new sponsors such as Santander and Oracle Netsuite, and the requirement for extra deliverables for our existing sponsors, ranging from researching and writing sponsor articles and company profiles in our seven annual supplements in The Sunday Times to keynote speaker profiles and content for our social media.

The role & responsibilities

  • Editorial: support and cover for our editorial director, including helping manage the team and adding strategic and practical input into our extensive written output
  • Content: conduct telephone and face-to-face interviews with the founders and directors of private companies to write succinct company profiles, as well as for written and video case studies for our sponsors
  • Knowledge of business: preferably of private companies and entrepreneurs in the UK, and a good knowledge of company accounts and relevant financials
  • Account handling: help service our blue-chip sponsors, including writing their articles in our supplements and judging awards
  • Learning culture: experience managing people; and help drive our learning culture of continuous improvement
