Summary
Digital Editor
c.£50,000 per annum
Bedford
Fixed-term Contracts
Hybrid Working
Do you have strong writing skills with a passion for digital content? Do you thrive in a dynamic, collaborative environment? If you have experience as a Digital Editor, then we want to hear from you. The Money and Pensions Service is seeking two Digital Editors to join their team. These roles are fixed-term contracts, one is for 12 months and the other is for nine months. As a Digital Editor at Money and Pensions, you will play a crucial role in maintaining their online presence, and specifically helping those most vulnerable.
In this role, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality, impartial, easy-to-understand guidance in multiple content formats for customers to help them make the most of their money and pensions. There is a particular emphasis on reaching those most in need and vulnerable.
You will maintain the existing MoneyHelper consumer-facing information and guidance to ensure we deliver accurate content at all times for our customers. Specifically, you’ll radically simplify complex issues and help empower consumers to take action.
Responsibilities:
The Digital Editor will report directly to the Lead Editor. In this role, you will:
- Develop, maintain, and edit consumer-facing information and guidance for digital platforms, including our MoneyHelper website and blog.
- Work as part of a matrix team to develop customer journeys for our target audiences, using content design skills.
- Apply MoneyHelper design principles to our information and guidance to ensure it is easily accessible and drives positive consumer action.
- Optimise content for search (SEO) and act on Adobe Analytics to improve visibility and consumer experience of MoneyHelper guidance.
This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of duties. The need for flexibility, shared accountability and team working is required, and the role-holder is expected to carry out any other related duties that are within the employee's skills and abilities whenever reasonably instructed.
Required Experience:
You will need to demonstrate the following skills and experience:
Essential:
- Excellent style of writing using plain language and MoneyHelper tone of voice, strong editorial judgment and the ability to convey a complex message in a concise way.
- Strong attention to detail, ensuring accuracy at all times and proven ability to optimise own and others’ copy.
- Expertise in working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, managing relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
- Familiarity with content management systems.
- Ability to work to tight deadlines and juggle competing workloads.
Desirable:
- An understanding of financial capability and the part it plays in improving people’s ability to manage their money day to day and in the long term.
- Good knowledge of financial topics as they affect consumers and an alertness to broader issues in the media that might have financial implications for consumers. You may have a consumer/personal finance background, but this is not essential – the ability to empathise with people’s issues is key.
If you’re already a MaPS employee, and as part of our Talent Strategy, we’re committed to strengthening opportunities for our people to learn, grow, progress, and thrive. For many of you, this may be preparing and applying for your next role with us, and we're passionate about ensuring you feel supported throughout your internal recruitment experience.
