Who we’re looking for:
This role would suit a writer who likes to go out and explore because you’ll be unravelling the secrets of the city and sharing them with our readers.
With that in mind, you'll need to live in Manchester, and have a good knowledge of the city, as well as a willingness explore the city both inside and outside of work. We'll be looking for evidence of this on your blog or social feeds.
And of course, you’ll need to have a way with words – we’re looking for someone who can write like they talk, turn content into a conversation and make complicated topics seem easy to understand. Ideally, you'll have at least a years' experience behind you, but the more the better.
You'll need at least 1 year of experience in a full time writing role. We use a lot of different techniques, but you won’t need to know them all. You will, however, need a willingness to learn, because we believe in continual development at every level.
Experience required:
1+ years' experience in a full-time copywriting, content writing or journalism role.
What you’ll do:
- Take responsibility for content from brief to go live
- Write high quality content on a wide range of subjects
- Use virality, SEO, response marketing and data analysis techniques to drive traffic, engagement and response
- Meticulously research content online, by phone and in person
- Source images and build content in Wordpress
- Become a local expert who knows every nook and cranny of the city and the region
- Help produce our weekly newsletter
- Contribute to idea generation to help create new content streams
- Analyse results to identify opportunities to drive traffic and engagement
- Use initiative to predict, manage and solve problems on your own
