Digital Content Assistant Editor

The Digital Content Assistant Editor will be responsible for supporting publishing content on the Royal Society’s main website, royalsociety.org, working collaboratively across the Society to support devolved editors putting their content onto the website and approving new content coming onto the platform using our Content Management System (CMS), Sitecore.

The role requires a keen eye for detail and strong copy skills to review content in workflow before it is published, and an excellent awareness of digital communication techniques to ensure published content fits the Royal Society brand, is presented in an accessible way to all site visitors, and is engaging. The role also includes looking after the Society’s on-site search, Funnelback, with regular reviews and updates, as well as reporting on current search trends to help steer potential new content streams.

The Assistant Editor will be expected to review website analytics and produce reports to communicate current trends and data to stakeholders. There may be ad-hoc duties to support and cover for other members of the team on other digital channels as needed.
