Fashion features editor

At Hearst UK, there is always more to the story. Join us as Women’s Health’s fashion features editor to start the next chapter in your career. 

We are the UK’s leading premium publisher, and the people behind iconic media brands such as Cosmopolitan, Esquire, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar and Country Living. We have created a working environment that encourages everyone to pull together. We never stop looking for brave new ideas. We will always try to develop and improve, we trust each other to do our best, and we have fun as we build on our heritage to make history.

About the role

As a member of the Women’s Health editorial team, you will be responsible for creating unique, informative and shareable content aimed at our engaged audience of discerning and knowledgeable women, who love being the first to know about the latest health and wellness trends. 

Our readers are passionate about being the healthiest versions of themselves, and you will take an active interest in the fitness and athleisure market. You will write both SEO-driven and social-led content for the gym-wear vertical of womenshealthmag.com/uk, with the majority of your output focused on e-commerce.

Your working week will be varied; on one day you might be reporting on the latest athleisure wear sales, the next testing running shoes and sports bras and on others attending events and interviewing celebrities, sports personalities and influencers about their new capsule collections. As we are a multi-platform team, you will also have the opportunity to pitch and write fashion-led features for the Wear Well section of the magazine. 

We are a small team at Women’s Health and we work hard - but we also make time to enjoy ourselves. Whether it is a lunchtime Pilates class, a run around St. James’s Park, or just enjoying a coffee together, there’s plenty of opportunities to get to know your colleagues.

About you

You will be a digital or print fashion editor with an enviable contacts book who takes pride in writing entertaining and engaging copy that translates the latest fitness and athleisure trends into articles our readers cannot wait to read. 

You will know how to make a story work on multiple platforms and you will always be keeping an eye out for new opportunities to drive clicks, engagement and revenue. 

You will be across all the new fashion drops relevant to the Women’s Health reader and will feel confident picking out must-have pieces, exploring new technologies in smart watches and fitness trackers and championing the science behind new moisture-wicking fabrics. Using a blend of insider knowledge, trend spotting, style forecasting, and data (Google Analytics, SEM Rush etc) you will build on and grow existing editorial successes, developing formats, and building out and owning editorial, video and social franchises which add commercial value.
