Deputy Editor
Shape high-impact journalism, mentor a talented reporting team, and drive exclusive coverage across the UK financial advice market as our Deputy Editor.
We're looking for a sharp and organised Deputy Editor to join our New Model Adviser team. As a key partner to our Editor, you will play a vital role in shaping our coverage of the UK financial advice market - from pensions and investments, to how businesses hire staff and the rules they must follow.
We are focused on high-quality, exclusive coverage that goes beyond press releases, and you'll be at the heart of our newsroom, helping a talented team of reporters turn raw ideas into must-read stories.
This is a role that requires a keen news eye and the ability to build influential relationships. It’s an exciting opportunity to drive the editorial direction of a market-leading title while developing your own high-impact features and data-led investigations.
What you'll be doing:
Working alongside the Editor to generate exclusive, high-impact coverage of the financial advice space and ensuring all copy is edited to the highest standard.
Building strong relationships with our reporters to help them shape their ideas, refine their angles and push their articles further.
Developing your own original stories and features by building relationships with senior industry figures and extracting insights from our data.
Organising key elements of our news and features coverage, including setting clear deadlines, word counts, and editorial direction for contributors.
Acting as a key face of NMA by maintaining and building relationships with senior leaders across the financial advice space.
What we're looking for:
Editorial Experience: Demonstrable experience in a similar role at a trade or national (full-time or freelance) at a senior level.
Sharp Editing Skills: A meticulous eye for detail and the ability to elevate copy, ensuring it resonates with a professional audience.
Highly Organised: A natural coordinator who can manage deadlines and editorial schedules.
Relationship Builder: Confident and professional, you are comfortable engaging with senior industry figures and collaborating across internal teams.
Data Literate: Comfortable working with numbers and data to uncover trends and drive original reporting.
