About the opportunity

About you

You love snappy copy and are confident in wrangling words, structural editing and putting commas and umlauts in place. You can explain what SEO is and why it’s important. You know your way around real-time analytics and use this to inform your editorial decisions.
- You are responsible for the digital content for TV Commissioned priorities; tasks include liaising with key stakeholders, talent and marketing and ensuring all deliverables and assets are managed accordingly.
