Junior Insights Editor

As an enthusiastic and globally plugged-in editor, you'll join the editorial team to run our daily insights stream, 'Signals', helping brands anticipate cultural and behavioural change and stay connected to their audiences.

As the champion for Signals, you'll be taking the reins on the daily planning, commissioning, and editing of our emergent insights stream. Signals are bite-sized and accessible articles providing clear and actionable insights for readers. As the editor, you'll be the gatekeeper of these shifts and the go-to source on the team for what's coming next.

Supported by the wider editorial team, you will commission stories from our in-house analysts and work with them to deliver mixed-methodology research in a quick-fire format. You'll be a steward of Canvas8's tone of voice, crafting punchy headlines that demonstrate value and opportunities for Canvas8's members.

You'll be an enthusiastic planner, owning an annual calendar of core political events, new releases, and cultural moments and working with the editorial and analyst teams to generate fresh takes and razor-sharp analyses. A natural collaborator, you'll also spend time working with writers to improve feedback loops and share best practices.

Alongside the day-to-day production of Signals, there will also be opportunities to get involved in wider editorial projects, such as co-owning the commissioning and editing of expert interview series and writing and editing longer-form research formats.

Are you curious and detail-obsessed? Do you love writing and editing? Are you passionate about investigating behaviour and culture and understanding the 'why' behind societal shifts? We're looking for a collaborative and analytical junior editor who loves staying ahead of the curve to join our global editorial team., If you love playing detective with culture and behaviour, tracking down the micro implications of macro shifts, and unearthing the major opportunity behind a tiny news story, this is the role for you. We're looking for someone who loves reading and analysing, loves being ahead of the curve, and relishes the challenge of offering analysis that no one else is.

We're looking for someone comfortable with a fast pace of digital publishing but who values well-researched and thought-provoking work. A budding editor who's as happy commissioning as they are editing, you'll be naturally interested in the world around you - as excited to flag how Ozempic will change the way we eat as you are anticipating the next generation of sustainable culture.
