Job Description

Haymarket Business Media is looking for a digital reporter to work across market leading brands the ENDS Report and ENDS Europe.

You’ll be joining us at an exciting time, with the ENDS Report soon to relaunch its print publication and website, and further developments in the pipeline.

The ENDS Report is the UK’s leading news and information service for environmental professionals, serving environment managers in business, regulators, environmental consultants and a wide range of other environmental specialists.

ENDS Europe is Europe’s environmental news service, reporting on EU and European environmental policymaking as it happens for an international audience of policymakers, influencers and industrial regulatory and sustainability managers.

Candidates must have a recognised journalistic qualification or experience. An ability to make complex issues accessible through clearly structured and accurate reporting is essential.

The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting our efforts to grow our online audience. S/he will help to increase the use of infographics on our websites, and take a lead role in managing our social media pages.

An understanding of environmental issues or a proven interest in the area is desirable, but is not as important to the role as curiosity and a willingness to become knowledgeable about the subject matter.

ENDS is part of Haymarket Business Media. This role will be based at our offices in Twickenham and will report to the ENDS Editor.

  • Checking facts to ensure accuracy
  • Being aware of the political and economic context of stories
  • Managing ENDS Report’s and ENDS Europe’s social media pages
  • Positively communicating the ENDS brand in person and through social media platforms


Required skills/knowledge:

  • Excellent writing and communications skills
  • Good news sense and ability to think creatively about the news agenda
  • Good time management and decision-making skills
  • An interest in and experience of data journalism and infographics
  • Curiosity and the willingness to become knowledgeable about the subject matter
  • Teamwork
  • Good understanding of media law
  • A keen eye for detail and accuracy
  • Good organisational skills and the ability to juggle deadlines and priorities
  • Professional demeanour and attitude

More information

Haymarket has its heart and soul in publishing and media.

Since we founded the company half a century ago, Haymarket has always prided itself on being a highly creative business, with an unrelenting focus on the quality of our products and our people.

Our philosophy has always been quite simple: only by having the highest quality individuals can you produce the highest quality products, combining the best in content, design, production and customer services.

Globalisation is opening up the world further, and providing many opportunities for us to continue to grow. You’ll see elsewhere in the site that we have offices around the world, and that many of our titles are now truly global brands.

Haymarket serves a broad spread of markets, from sport to medicine, from technology to town planning. We’re in consumer, business and customer media, along with exhibitions and live events. Predicting the shape of our business in three, five or 10 years is almost impossible; and the unpredictability is, for us, part of the appeal.

We aim to be the perfect company to work with or for – we have the processes and attitude that ensure quality and consistency, and an entrepreneurial spirit that makes every day rewarding.
