The Digital Commerce Manager will lead the re-design, expansion and ongoing management of our online picture syndication portal, Mirrorpix. The role will encompass a brief to develop new digital properties to support the ambitions of our commercial licensing team and to capitalise on new opportunities to further expand the licensed distribution of our intellectual property assets.

This role will suit an individual who is just as comfortable picking up the reins to manage an existing website as they are conceiving and building a completely new one. Reporting to the Content Sales Director, you will be able to demonstrate an up to date and impressive portfolio of websites and digital properties that you have designed, built and/or had lead management responsibility for.

• Oversee re-launch of Mirrorpix, to deliver expanded e-commerce and client self-serve opportunities

• Report to the Content Sales Director and team-leads on website performance, proposed technical improvements and issues
• Liaise closely with the commercial licensing team to ensure we are providing them with the appropriate digital resources to support their licensing activities
• Work hand in hand with the archive to ensure the digital window on to our collections is proactively refreshed and illuminates and showcases our collections effectively
• Work in tandem with our Marketing team to mutually ensure that our marketing, commercial and digital activities are completely harmonised
• Working independently and via engagement with the commercial and archive teams, identify potential new digital opportunities then draft and execute project plans to deliver them

• You will possess a strong flair for creativity with the ability to channel this into commercial presentations
• You will be highly articulate and a strong team player
• You must be able to work independently - with an ability to focus on delivering projects on-time and under budget no matter what distractions a busy news media environment might throw at you
• You will have proven and demonstrable experience in utilising web authoring, design and web analytical tools
• The ability to collaborate is key - You will be able to listen to and interpret briefs accurately, often being able to interpret what your colleague wants even if they're not sure themselves.
• Experience gained in the licensing or visual publishing industries is especially welcomed
