Features Editor

Legal Cheek is recruiting for a features editor to join its growing team.

We are seeking a candidate with 2+ years experience of writing, editing and commissioning articles. You will be an enthusiastic writer of punchy headlines and enjoy the challenge of making content perform strongly on social media. A level of knowledge of the legal profession would be helpful but is not essential.

Who we are:

Legal Cheek is the UK's most read legal news and careers website. It is particularly popular with students and junior lawyers. Previous Legal Cheek journalists have subsequently moved to staff jobs at broadsheet titles including The Times and The Telegraph.

Responsibilities include:

Commissioning and editing our busy schedule of careers content created in partnership with law firms.
Managing our journal section of student written articles about legal affairs.
Optimising content for social media.
Writing and editing some news stories.
Updating content across Legal Cheek’s website such as our firm profiles and SQE Hub.
Liaising with law firms and law schools about the content element of commercial awareness-themed event campaigns.
Some chairing of virtual and in-person events.
Generally mucking in as part of a small team.
