We’re looking for a junior sub to join the team. Working mainly in print on finance titles, you’ll be checking copy, fitting it on page layouts, writing heads and sells, selecting pull quotes and preparing pages for print as part of a small team working on a portfolio of magazines.
You’ll need an organised and methodical approach to help the team keep to production schedules, and some understanding of finance, business and current affairs would be useful. Proficiency in using InDesign and Microsoft Word is a must, as is basic computer literacy and an understanding of content management systems.
This is a junior role. Ideally you’d be someone with basic experience looking for a second job, but we will consider new entrants to the trade who can demonstrate a solid grasp of the basics – so spelling, punctuation, grammar and an appreciation of what makes engaging copy, plus an eye for detail and a rigorous approach to fact checking.
This is a subbing role, so if you’re looking for a route into writing, this is not for you. However, we are a fast-growing agency that looks to promote and develop our staff, and the opportunity to work on other projects will present itself.
Send a CV plus a covering letter explaining why you think you’d be suitable for this job to martin.cloake@progressivecontent.com by 9 June.
