Senior Branded Content Editor

What's the role?

 Are you a creative thinker who can produce best-in-class content for Qantas magazine, Qantas Travel Insider and its associated social media channels to excite brands and customers? 

Medium Rare, Australia’s leading content marketing agency, is looking for a Branded Content Senior Editor to ideate and create high-quality commercial content for Qantas, its Frequent Flyer partners and high-value advertisers. 

You’ll be joining a fast-growing business with a flexible working environment offering stability, balance and a great culture. This is a hybrid role, based in our Sydney (Pyrmont) office but with the opportunity to work part of your week remotely. 

You’ll work closely with the Qantas digital and print editorial teams, sales, account service and design  to develop innovative content for digital publishing platforms, social media, video and print channels. 

You’re a written and visual storyteller who can take a brief, marketing objective or strategic insight and translate it into multi-channel content that delivers strong results. 

With a background in digital or print publishing (at a media company, agency or brand), you’ll be comfortable writing and commissioning editorial copy of the highest standard and ensuring rich content aligns with commercial objectives and performance. 

You’ll also have an eye for amplifying content to large audiences on social media, generating social assets that will excite audiences and drive the best results for every post on every platform.

Key responsibilities:
 

• Ideate, research and write across a broad range of topics, including travel, business, food and wine and technology to produce high-quality digital copy, social media assets and print magazine content

• Working predominantly on Qantas magazine, Qantas Travel Insider and Qantas social channels, you’ll write or commission commercial content for a range of partners and advertisers. 

• Manage your task workflow and balance multiple concurrent projects. 

• Work closely with clients to agree on concepts, execute them within editorial guidelines and liaise on revisions. An exceptional eye for detail is essential. 

• Use social media channels and email newsletters to amplify content – maximising engagement but also driving action.  Maintain a monthly social media schedule tailored to drive clicks and engagement across platforms. 

Who are you?

• Five years’ experience as an editor or content producer at a media publisher, agency or brand. We need someone with skills to tell a story across all channels, so solid experience in digital and social content is essential and print magazine experience preferred. Commercial content experience will be highly regarded.

• Commissioning and copy editing experience, as well as the ability to manage freelance writers within an editorial budget. 

• High-level organisational skills and demonstrated experience juggling multiple deadlines 

• Strong attention to detail with solid editing skills

• Up-to-date knowledge of all social media platforms, best practice and specifications. 

• Ability to think visually and direct visual assets, including social content. 

• Experience writing presentations and pitches is highly regarded but not essential.
