Here at the Guardian, we believe the open exchange of information, ideas and opinions has the power to change the world for the better. Our independent journalism holds power to account across the globe and brings information that's suppressed into the public domain.
We are at a fascinating juncture in our history. Our audience has never been larger; our journalism never more successful; our brand never stronger.
Yet the economics of the news business are incredibly volatile with large digital platforms eroding the ad market for quality publishing.
As we re-orientate to focus on reader revenues in this period of unprecedented change, the branded content produced by Guardian Labs becomes increasingly front-and-centre of the Guardian's wider commercial strategy.
That is where you come in.
We are recruiting a Commissioning Editor to join Guardian Labs, to have oversight of commercial features, from pitches through to production and promotion.
In this role, you will commission content and oversee pitches to ensure high-quality ideas, with a sufficient variation in work to deliver well-rounded content, in line with Guardian values.
To be considered for this role, we're looking for you to have solid experience commissioning content, online and in print, in a fast-paced features or commercial environment.
You'll thrive operating in a demanding environment, and delivering against rapidly-changing deadlines, and have excellent interpersonal and stakeholder management skills.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an engaged, fast-paced team, partnering with key stakeholders across the business, producing work that is core to the future success of a globally beloved media brand.
Does this all sound like you? Then we'd love to hear from you.
To apply, please upload your latest CV and a cover letter which outlines why you'd like to take on this role, and why you're a great match for what we're looking for.
