Job Details

We are looking for an experienced editor to lead NRi Digital’s transport portfolio, which includes digital B2B magazines for the airport, railway, shipping and cruise industries. NRi Digital is part of GlobalData.

Reporting to the publisher, you will be responsible for four digital transport industry titles and the team that produces them. Key responsibilities include content planning, sub-editing, image research, proof-reading and flatplan management.

You will see each magazine issue through the production process from planning to publication, working closely with our commissioning editor, writers, designers and advertising team.

You will also lead monthly sector meetings to plan magazine content with our writers, and attend monthly meetings with our advertising team to discuss editorial strategy and product development.

This is an excellent opportunity for a B2B or technology journalist with feature writing or editing experience looking to take the next step in their career.

The ideal candidate will have experience in business publishing and online media, an interest in the transport sector, and the drive to take ownership of these magazines and lead their future development.

You should have a sense for spotting industry trends and finding stories appropriate for our audience, a knack for writing stand-out cover lines and headings, and a sense for presenting in-depth business information in a visually appealing and accessible way.

Key requirements:

  • Demonstrable experience of writing and editing, preferably for a B2B audience
  • Experience or working with online media
  • A journalism qualification or equivalent on-the-job training
  • Sub-editing and proofreading experience
  • An eye for detail and the ability to produce impeccable copy
  • What we expect from the sector editor
  • A keen interest in the transport sector
  • The ability to identify business and technology trends and the right kind of angle for our audience
  • Initiative and enthusiasm in taking ownership of the sector and leading the future development of the magazines
  • The ability to write stand-out copy, from cover lines and headings to attention-grabbing tweets
  • A sense for presenting complex, in-depth business information in a creative, accessible and user-friendly way
  • Strong leadership skills and the ability to motivate and mentor a team
  • Excellent communication and organisation skills
  • Preferred, but not essential, experience
  • Writing for an online and business audience
  • Developing editorial strategy
  • Working with magazine layouts
  • Social media skills
