Content editor - decor

If you're a style-obsessed journalist with a passion for design and interiors, we want to hear from you. As a digital native and passionate writer, your role will be to write brilliant decor-related content for the Livingetc website. Livingetc specialises in reporting on the now and the next in home design. It is one of the world’s leading interiors websites and you’ll join a thriving, growing team.

What you'll be doing…

As content editor, decor, you'll write, edit and commission long-form features and short-form trending content for Livingetc with a focus on furniture, homeware and decor. You'll join a growing and ambitious team, and be tasked with coming up with brilliant ideas that are right for the audience, being in the know about all the new products from our key retailers, and keeping in touch with trends and the zeitgeist in the home space.

You’ll work with a global team to be the best in the business at reporting on the now and the next in this space. Your content will be newsworthy but also form part of the site’s evergreen strategy, so you’ll need to be hot on SEO and keyword research, to maximise opportunities for the website. 

Experience that will put you ahead of the curve…

• Proven relevant editorial experience with proven background in digital.
• A keen interest in homes and interiors, and an ability to write for American audiences. 
• First-rate SEO expertise and a keen interest in and understanding of analytical tools, which you’ll use to form your content crafting.
• Exceptional writing and editing skills - from the ability to write snappy headlines to tight grammar control, through to the ability to source the right image to draw people in.
• An aptitude for managing others — whether within a team, or through commissioning freelancers. 
• An ability to work under pressure with a focus on goals, and deliver content to a tight turnaround.
• Understanding of media law and image rights. You'll be responsible for sourcing your own images for stories and flagging any legal issues.
• Self-motivation. You'll need to be able to manage your own workload and deliver to expectations.
• You’ll have a passion for the data side of web editing and closely monitor and interpret performance and trends.
• You’ll enjoy the competitive nature of digital content production, taking pride in success and learning from others.
• A great communicator and collaborative team player - both with the industry and the wider Future team - to allow you both to sell our brands to the industry but also extract the knowledge we already have in the business and apply it.
