Our client is an Australian digital marketing agency with global ambitions, that is on a mission to raise the perception of the industry they service (the recruitment sector).

REGIONAL CONTENT EDITING MANAGER

Open for all nationalities (Native English is a Plus) Visa will be provided.

The job

If you’re the sort of person that likes variety, finds yourself dreaming about how you could have further perfected the last piece of copy you edited and above all don’t take yourself too seriously, then this could be the opportunity for you.

The Content Editor role is incredibly varied but the core focus is writing briefs and then editing submissions to ensure the content is completed to the highest possible standard. The content itself could be anything from a simple online blog article, website copy or press release, through to significant research papers.

This means you’ll be managing a sizable team of external writers, ensuring sound briefs are created, carrying out training, providing feedback and managing a full work schedule. In addition, you’ll work alongside the Account Management team to carry out regular article or project briefing calls with clients.

What we’re looking for

Each day, you’ll be across lots of different projects, so previous experience in a role where you have had to truly multi-task, whilst remaining focused on individual projects, is essential.

Different from most Editor roles, they focus on one core sector, recruitment, which means their content is always looking to come from a recruiter’s perspective. They don’t expect you to have previous recruitment experience but it is absolutely critical that you’re prepared to put the time in to master all the nuances of the recruitment sector (and there are lots). The broader team and the current incumbent, who is moving to a new role internally, are all available to help with this, but as with everything the desire to self-learn is key.

What’s in it for you

The successful applicant will quickly find themselves becoming a key member of a newly established Malaysian delivery team (currently five people). With the projected company growth, there are a many future career opportunities available, from people management to creative and strategic leadership.

The role is currently delivered by someone in New Zealand who works five days a week. However, with the position now moving to Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, some flexibility can be factored in around hours and how much of the role is office-based.

There is no perfect background for the role, but experience editing written content is the single most important existing skill set. This could be at a media company, in the education sector or something else.

This role is urgent and we will require someone who can start ASAP.
