The Gig
We've got some big shoes to fill! We're seeking a fabulous full-time (or part-time) super-committed friendly new face to join the SOMO fam who is hungry to succeed and eager to bust out of the box with a solutions-focused approach. We need a talented Writer/Deputy Editor who can: write effective editorial content and advertisement copy; come up with great story ideas with the team; maintain the tone and integrity of our publications; sub and proof adverts, publications and websites to perfection; and liaise with a diverse range of clients and contacts. Backed by a wealth of experience, you'll be down with Microsoft Word, Excel and, ideally, InDesign.

About You
A graceful multi-tasker, you'll be just as comfortable subbing your way through one of our iconic publications and penning page-turning copy as you are liaising with contributors, clients, sales reps and designers, and maintaining office systems – all-the-while smiling under pressure. You'll be passionate about magazines and need a high level of energy and personal motivation, work with a sense of urgency and be an old school stickler for detail. Unstoppable in your quest to get things right and making our clients very happy indeed, you'll have an understanding of the sales process and, ideally, experience or aptitude in this area. Agency/digital/marketing experience would be a huge advantage.
