- Upload and schedule stories through a content management system
- Optimise pieces for SEO and use social media to share stories, engage with readers and promote the energy team’s publications
- Support senior editors with team strategy – such as compiling insights on content performance and suggestions for improvement – and otherwise where necessary
What we’re looking for…
- At least two years’ experience in journalism, ideally including editing, with a track record of published work
