Afternoon Homepage Editor

What’s the role?

Working from 12pm-8pm, managing the homepage of Australia's biggest news website.
Use your competitive nature, skill, instinct and headline testing programs to ensure every story and video has a sell and image that maximises its ability to attract eyeballs and resonate with the audience.
Use picture and image editing platforms to create the most engaging images for stories and videos.
Thrive in a fast-paced, ever-moving environment and be able to juggle many tasks at once.
Demonstrate excellent news judgement and an innate understanding of what readers want as well as a sound knowledge of media and defamation law.
You’ll work directly with our team of reporters, as well as the social and off-platform teams. That means you’ll need to be a great people person, helping the team meet their KPIs, growth and development plans.
You’ll have an understanding of content optimisation, audience growth, on and off-platform, and understand the role of data in the newsroom.
And you’ll also need to be a top notch collaborator, working in a matrix structure, collaborating and influencing by example with teams that don’t report to you.
You’ll need to have your eye on the news of the day, and a head for a great story - you’ll play a critical role in setting the day’s agenda with the news.com.au editorial leadership team.

Who are you?

You have at least five years’ experience working in a newsroom.
You’re across what’s happening in the national and international news cycle.
You have visual storytelling familiarity, understand what works in video news and are up to date with social video best practices.
You’re data driven and love using analytics to inform content decisions.
You thrive in a high paced news environment and are curious about how to find efficiencies in existing processes and systems.
