About us
The Independent is an online news publisher that was established in 1986 as a national newspaper independent of party political affiliations or proprietorial influence. In 2016, The Independent became a fully digital publisher, moving away from print in pursuit of sustainability, and to safeguard its values and journalism for the future.
The Independent has always thrived through innovation and change. It was the first – and only – major newspaper to pull off a successful transformation to fully digital publishing.
Through The Independent, Independent TV, eCommerce, indy100, subscriptions and now Bulletin, The Independent plans to continue the work of many decades, bringing much-needed independent journalism to over 100 million unique global visitors a month, making its voice ever louder and more insistent the world over.
We have an international editorial team with our main offices in London and New York.
About the role
The Independent is looking to recruit an Optimization Editor to join an exciting new team, working closely with the US and UK office to grow a new brand in Bulletin and continue the growth of The Independent. The role will be hybrid; remote- and office-based answering to a team in our London office.
The role will help further expand one of the world’s fastest-growing news brands in a small team of digital publishing experts. The right candidate will come from a strong news background and have a firm grasp of all aspects of digital publishing, including SEO, social media and editing.
They will need to be able to work independently to optimize content to reach a large audience. The role is perfect for candidates who want to take the next step in their career. The right person will be excellent at crafting copy and headlines, as well as planning and organizing evergreen content for major events.
The successful candidate should have a keen interest in the news industry and the future of journalism, including the use of AI on the Bulletin platform. Experience in a similar role at an equivalent title is essential. This is a middleweight to senior role, where the successful candidate will have regular dialogue with the Head of Growth and other senior colleagues.
You will be expected to be comfortable managing multiple priorities in a calm and methodical manner. Applicants must have the right to work in the US. The roles are hybrid or remote, but with a requirement to convene at the New York HQ for periodic training.
