Content Editor

CIPFA’s busy communications and content team is looking for a dynamic and self-motivated individual to join the team on a temporary basis, to cover maternity leave.

The content editor will play an important part in ensuring CIPFA’s output is of a consistently high quality by creating, editing and organising content across various communication channels. Key responsibilities of the role include proofreading CIPFA publications, including long-form technical content and thought leadership reports, and supporting content development and updates on our TISonline site. This involves working closely with policy experts and other authors to manage production processes and implement CIPFA’s house style.

For the right candidate there is also the opportunity to collate and edit our monthly newsletter for CIPFA’s members, as well as contributing content to CIPFA’s Sharepoint-based intranet .
