What's the role?

Medium Rare, Australia's leading content agency, is seeking a full-time Deputy Editor for Acuity magazine, working closely with the Editor to ensure that all content, across all channels, is delivered on time and to an extremely high standard.

Reporting to the editor, you will manage the editorial content calendar, and be hands-on with the planning, commissioning, coordination and execution of Acuity print, digital and social content, including the native content.

You will have a strong sense of the key issues of interest to chartered accountants (the Acuity audience) and contribute ideas to help shape our coverage.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Coordinating and commissioning in-house and freelance writers and sub-editors to deliver digital and native content, in consultation with the editor, ensuring that their work is completed on time and to quality and style requirements.
  • Ensuring all editorial briefs are of the highest standard and deliver on their content objectives.
  • Ensuring all content is of the highest quality and is suitable to the audience/client/channel, suggesting enhancements where necessary.
  • Top editing, writing and interviewing, as required.
  • Understanding how to maximise content (ie create multiple formats out of a single feature/event).
  • Using data to inform content – SEO, trends and engagement rates.
  • Maintaining awareness of relevant issues in accounting, business and finance to ensure the content focus remains timely, relevant and inspiring.
  • Attending content planning meetings with CA ANZ, as required.
  • Managing budgets, in consultation with the editor.
  • Alongside the editor, maintaining a database of local and international freelance contractors.

Who are you?

  • You have exceptional organisational skills.
  • You have a deep understanding of all aspects of the publishing process, from print production and doing grids, through to best practice in digital content creation and maximisation.
  • Meeting deadlines is second nature – and you have proven experience.
  • You have the capacity to inspire and lead a creative team.
  • Past employers will say you have excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
  • You have mid-level editorial experience across print and digital properties.
  • You understand how analytics can inform content planning and creation.
  • You're experienced in taking and meeting (advertising) client briefs.
  • You'll develop a strong understanding of client publishing and the importance of meeting the client's objectives.
  • You are proficient in publishing software (InDesign, Studio etc).
