Trends Editor - Live

It’s an exciting time at Reach and we are looking for a Trends Editor to join our award-winning Live team in Scotland. Our three city news sites in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen are already the most popular local news sites in their respective markets and you can play a key role in taking them to even greater heights. You will guide a team of trends writers covering the hottest topics in the news or on social media, covering a varied range of subjects - from current affairs and entertainment to shopping and must-see tv - and delivering that content to a wider audience with the highest standards of digital storytelling. We are looking for candidates with strong management skills, and the ability to help young journalists develop. Candidates must have excellent storytelling techniques, superb social media skills and knowledge of SEO and Google Trends, as well as a deep understanding of how to make content engaging. We’re looking for fresh ideas and new perspectives from people from a wide range of backgrounds, and we want you to tell us the stories you believe are important from our many communities so we can continue to diversify our content.
