Job description

We are an ambitious business committed to producing independent, thoughtful journalism. We have a rare opportunity for a business-focused commissioning editor.

About Monocle

Monocle is an independent media brand that has built a global reputation for its coverage of international affairs, design, travel, fashion and much more besides. Launched in London in 2007, the business has blossomed to include our famed magazine, daily newsletters, a round-the-clock radio station, international events as well as thriving retail stores, e-commerce and cafés. With HQs, bureaux and shops in Zürich, Tokyo, Merano and Hong Kong we are a truly global team and proud of the fact that today Monocle is a vital source of inspiration, analysis and ideas for our discerning global audience.

About the role

The Commissioning Editor (business) is responsible for commissioning stories across all Monocle platforms, taking ownership for the reporting and editing of business stories and overseeing our digital newsletters team.

The role requires an all-rounder: a seasoned commissioner who finds contributors, briefs, edits, provides feedback and turns this into successful Monocle stories. While our heritage is in print, we need someone who can deliver features across print and digital at speed.

We are a small team, so your willingness to wear multiple hats will also mean that you’re involved in the planning and delivery of unique commercial projects, nurturing and guiding colleagues and overseeing the newsletter team.

We value collaboration and interaction with our colleagues and our clients. We work on unique, global projects alongside our enormously talented international team. This role is based at our office Midori House and we offer the following benefits;

• Breakfast provided five days a week
• Health and life insurance benefits
• 23 days annual leave, 7-day Christmas shutdown and 8 bank holidays
• Dog friendly office

Our team is ambitious, talented, professional and committed to excellence in everything they do. If you think you've got what it takes then apply now. Please note that all applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
