Sydney, New South Wales, Australia The Spectator Full time $60,000 - $90,000 per year

The Spectator is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious magazines. Renowned for its incisive commentary, engaging features and thought-provoking opinions on politics, culture and current affairs, The Spectator has a proud history of fostering great journalism — and is now building on that legacy with new products, expanded digital coverage and innovative ways to engage and grow our audience around the world.

Position Overview

The Spectator is expanding its global editorial operation and is seeking a talented and self-sufficient Night Editor to join our growing team. Based in Sydney (or the surrounding region), this remote role provides vital overnight coverage for The Spectator's UK and global operations — ensuring that newsletters are drafted, the news agenda is monitored, and breaking stories are surfaced while London sleeps.

Working closely with our editorial and production teams in London, you will play a key role in transforming our newsletter output and strengthening our round-the-clock news operation. This role is ideal for someone with excellent editorial judgement, strong writing and editing skills, and a sharp eye for news and current affairs.

Key Responsibilities


• Draft and prepare The Spectator's flagship newsletters for the following morning's distribution


• Monitor breaking news and identify key stories and developments during overnight UK hours


• Conduct newsgathering across global and UK news sources, providing clear overnight briefings to London teams


• Draft early versions of stories, headlines and summaries for editorial refinement on handover


• Collaborate with editors, writers and production staff to maintain The Spectator's tone, accuracy and editorial standards


• Perform light editing, fact-checking and proofreading during overnight hours


• Assist in managing and updating the website with breaking news or developing stories if required

Requirements


• Excellent knowledge of The Spectator's editorial voice and audience


• A strong interest and knowledge of British politics, current affairs and culture — with the ability to assess news value overnight


• Experience in newsletter production and/or digital publishing strongly preferred


• Strong writing and headline-writing skills, with an ability to capture The Spectator's distinctive tone


• Excellent editorial judgement, attention to detail and accuracy


• The ability to work independently and take responsibility for overnight editorial output


• Strong time management and organisational skills


• A sense of humour and a well-developed sense of the absurd

This role is fully remote, but requires you to be based in Australia or a nearby time zone to align with UK overnight hours. We have an existing team in Sydney, so proximity to Sydney would be an advantage.
