We have an exciting portfolio of media brands – including The Stylist Group and Puzzler Media – as well as communities in energy, local and national news, women’s and children’s magazines, lifestyle, teaching, crafts, and sport.

It includes working to agreed production schedules, proofreading articles while ensuring all stories are accurate and meet legal requirements.
Knowledge, qualifications, skills and experience:
The ideal candidate will be proactive and disciplined with a thorough understanding of grammar and punctuation, a flair for language, and will thrive in a fast-paced, high-pressure working environment.
You will hold a relevant degree or equivalent, with an awareness of copyright law and excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
To apply for this role, please follow our online application process and submit a CV and cover letter.
This is a full-time, permanent position, working 35 hours per week. This is a hybrid role offering a blend of home and office working from our office in Dundee. We offer a generous package including 34 days holiday, health cash plan, on-site staff gym, excellent pension, a competitive salary, and many more staff discounts and benefits.
